The late Charlie Kirk was “leading I think the most important revival” in America, according to Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl.
Pearl said during a Friday interview on Outkick's "Don't @ Me" with Dan Dakich that Kirk would be “sorely missed.”
“Charlie was a man of faith. He knew where he was going when his time came. I know that’s not what he was planning on because he had so much to live for here. He was leading I think the most important revival that was taking place in our country and that was young, conservative, Christian people who were on fire for God, who were on fire for Jesus, who were on fire for this country to help get involved in service and the process,” Pearl said. “And also began to see that the other side was so different in how they felt about faith and family and the right to life and so many things that we sort of take for granted as part of our DNA. The opposition is pulling farther apart from us and also getting more violent. I think the reason why they’re getting more violent is because like Charlie Kirk proved every time he debated and had discussion he was on the side of right, he was on the side of good, he was on the side of accurate history for the most part of what he talked about and they couldn’t beat him so they killed him. They murdered him. They assassinated him. They eliminated him. What they didn’t realize is, they actually didn’t because he’s going to live on through all of us that followed him, that learned from him.”
