Andy Cohen Surprises Charlie Kirk With Support — When Fans Asked If He Was In Denial About His Sexuality? He Responded With 2 Words That Left Everyone Amazed
In the wake of the tragic death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, television host and public figure Andy Cohen delivered an unforgettable and powerful statement, not only condemning the cowardice of Kirk’s shooter but also expressing unwavering support for Kirk’s legacy and family. Cohen’s words, shared widely on social media, left a lasting impression on the nation, with two simple words—“Absolutely not”—cementing his refusal to be silenced or intimidated.
Directly addressing the shooter, Cohen said:
“To Charlie Kirk’s shooter: YOU are a coward who FAILED a mission. You hid in the shadows, pulled a trigger, and ran. That’s not justice. That’s cowardice. You feared his words because they’re stronger than your bullets. Absolutely not will your violence stop the truth.”
Cohen emphasized that the attack, rather than ending Kirk’s voice, had only amplified it:
“You didn’t silence him – you proved his words have power. You didn’t kill his voice; you amplified it. You didn’t end the movement; you grew it. CHARLIE’s fight is OUR fight. And we will NEVER back down. YOU HAVE AWAKENED A GIANT. Absolutely not will fear dictate our response.”
Standing By Kirk’s Legacy
Cohen praised Kirk for his tireless work in political activism, youth engagement, and advocacy.
“Charlie Kirk dedicated his life to empowering young people, encouraging debate, and fostering discussion. Taking a life does not erase ideas. Absolutely not will anyone make us forget that. His mission continues, and we are all now stewards of that legacy.”
Immediate Social Media Reaction
Cohen’s statement went viral within hours. Supporters praised his courage, his honesty, and the two-word declaration “Absolutely not”, which many interpreted as a symbol of moral clarity in a time of grief.
“In a world full of fear, Andy Cohen showed us courage,” one fan wrote. “Absolutely not—those two words say everything. Ideas can’t be killed, and neither can the human spirit.”
A Call for Unity and Defiance
Cohen’s statement is not just about condemnation; it’s a call to continue Kirk’s mission and uphold the values he championed:
“We honor Charlie by continuing his work, by standing up for our values, and by proving that courage and conviction are stronger than fear. Absolutely not will we be intimidated into silence.”
