Eric Trump says 'bullets are only flying one way' in America after Kirk assassination

Kirk was shot and killed last Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University. As founder of Turning Point USA, he was a longtime friend and ally of the Trump family. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. 

Eric Trump called Kirk's death part of a larger effort to silence conservative voices. 

"These people have tried to do everything they could to take us out of the game," he said. Trump pointed to impeachment proceedings, trials and multiple assassination attempts on his father. 

"Our dear friend Charlie's life was expunged when somebody shoots him in the neck with a high-caliber rifle while calling him a fascist," Trump said. 

"Yet Charlie's somehow the fascist, you know, coming from a guy on a roof dressed in black with a, with a rifle." 

Trump said preventing future tragedies may require cultural change. 

"The party that preaches tolerance in this nation is actually the least tolerant people that you've ever met in your entire life," he argued. 

Despite the grief over Kirk's death, Eric Trump said he believes it has served as a rare moment of unity as the nation condemns the actions of the gunman. 

"Honestly, this country is in harmony," Eric Trump said.

"I can't tell you how many people this has pushed to the right, to God, to country, to the Constitution, to the American flag, to everything that we love as Americans."
