After it was announced Kirk was shot, before he was announced dead, U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Gainesville made a post on Facebook calling for “justice” and “healing.”
Gainesville Mayor Harvey Ward and Newberry Mayor Tim Marden both expressed their sympathies for Kirk’s death in comments to the Gainesville Sun.
Kirk’s death has prompted many of his political adversaries to repost his opinions on gun violence, as he is now a victim of gun violence.
