(🚨) BREAKING NEWS (CNN, live-on air just now): Despite what FBI director Kash Patel previously posted, the FBI does *not* have a suspect in custody in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. The person behind this despicable act unfortunately remains at large.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
