Loudoun County chair mixes criticism, compassion in remarks on slain activist Charlie Kirk
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The chairwoman of the Loudoun County, Virginia board of supervisors criticized murdered political activist Charlie Kirk while expressing compassion for his family during roundtable remarks at September’s meeting.
Loudoun, about 30 miles west of Washington, is a formerly-Republican bastion that has swung hard to the left and become ground-zero in recent election seasons as a prominent site for culture war battles – including transgender school restroom policies that have marked the 2021 and 2025 statewide contests.
Several members of the Democratic-majority board spoke during their monthly public huddle in Leesburg, offering differing remembrances of Kirk, who was murdered during one of his famous collegiate speaking engagements.
Chairwoman Phyllis Randall, an at-large Democrat, said Wednesday that as a therapist by-trade, she understands people can hold more than one emotion at a time and the «wonderful complexity of humanity.»

«Obviously, no person should be gunned down. No person should be murdered. Not kids in schools, not lawmakers in their homes, not political antagonists,» she said.
«At the same time, I don’t feel the need to sugarcoat or ignore or gloss over some of the behavior that Mr. Kirk, himself, engaged in while he was living … A death, even a horrible death, does not automatically erase the harm a person did in his life. In my opinion, Charlie Kirk engaged in promoting political violence and division.»

«While I hold empathy for Mr. Kirk — In fact, I hold empathy and compassion for our entire nation right now. And I pray for our nation as a person of faith … God understands that I’m struggling with these feelings,» she said.
She reiterated that Kirk should not have been murdered but that while in life, Kirk «pressed against my community.»
Randall, who is Black, alleged Kirk also «put many communities in increased danger.»

Supervisor Caleb Kerschner of Hamilton, one of two Republicans on the board, said in his public remarks that the nation hadn’t seen a political figure murdered so publicly since the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Kennedy brothers.
«What makes it even more chilling is it appears to be done in political ideological reasons: Something we would see in other countries, but not America,» Kerschner said.
Kerschner added that the most disturbing development following Kirk’s murder has been «internet trolls and radical individuals» celebrating the killing.

«It is one thing to oppose and argue the ideology of someone you disagree with. It is quite another to promote violence towards such individuals. America was built on the principles of freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of debate, and individual liberty. No one can deny or disagree that Charlie lived by this and openly encouraged discourse from any who would engage,» he said.
The board’s vice chairman, Michael Turner, a Democrat from Ashburn, echoed Kerschner in recounting growing up in the 1960s when political violence was last at its peak.
«We are in a tit-for-tat across the board at every level of our society for hatred,» said Turner.
In the wake of Kirk’s murder, he said he wants to be more understanding of opposing views.
«I have a friend who’s a MAGA — he is a friend, but he’s a MAGA — I don’t quite know how to reconcile that, but I do every day because he’s a friend,» he said.

Cómo es el “Project Rock N’ Roll Stars”, la movida solidaria que está impulsando Oasis en los fans más jóvenes
Oasis, la icónica banda británica responsable de éxitos como “Wonderwall” y “Don’t Look Back in Anger”, ha sorprendido a sus seguidores no solo con su regreso a los escenarios, sino también a través de una iniciativa solidaria inédita: Project Rock N’ Roll Stars. Este proyecto busca financiar la educación musical en las escuelas estatales del Reino Unido, enfrentando uno de los desafíos más apremiantes del sistema educativo británico.
El 2025 ha marcado el regreso esperado de Oasis a los escenarios con la gira “Oasis Live’25”. Miles de fanáticos presenciaron de nuevo a los hermanos Liam y Noel Gallagher juntos, un hecho que parecía casi imposible hasta hace poco. Sin embargo, este retorno no se limitó al ámbito musical. La banda amplió su alcance con el lanzamiento de una línea oficial de indumentaria en colaboración con Adidas y, más importante aún, con el inicio de Project Rock N’ Roll Stars.
La noticia se difundió hoy a través de las redes sociales oficiales del grupo, donde se detalló el objetivo de reunir fondos para dotar de instrumentos a las escuelas públicas de Reino Unido, involucrando activamente a los seguidores. “Colecciona las letras originales de Oasis escritas a mano y devuelve la música a las escuelas estatales del Reino Unido”, invitó la agrupación en su comunicado oficial.
El corazón de Project Rock N’ Roll Stars consiste en una colección exclusiva de impresiones en tamaño A4 con las letras manuscritas de las canciones más emblemáticas de Oasis. Entre ellas destacan “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back in Anger”, “Stand By Me”, “Champagne Supernova” y “Rock’N’ Roll Star”. La colección, desarrollada en conjunto con Circa, presenta además un póster de 50×50 cm, donde se retrata un momento único: Liam y Noel Gallagher tomados de la mano al salir al escenario de Wembley durante un show reciente en Londres.
Estas piezas se ofrecerán en una edición limitada hasta el 25 de noviembre, permitiendo a los fanáticos adquirir desde una sola impresión por 150 libras hasta el set completo por 1.000 libras. Los fondos recaudados con cada venta serán destinados íntegramente a escuelas públicas para la compra de instrumentos y el fomento de la enseñanza musical entre los alumnos más jóvenes del Reino Unido.
La motivación detrás de Project Rock N’ Roll Stars es clara: la drástica reducción de la provisión de música en las escuelas estatales británicas debido a los continuos recortes presupuestarios. En muchas instituciones, las aulas permanecen en silencio por la falta de materiales y apoyo para los programas artísticos. En respuesta, el proyecto se compromete a distribuir directamente los instrumentos a las instituciones seleccionadas y promover la formación integral de las futuras generaciones.
Desde la página oficial explicaron: “Project Rock’N’ Roll Stars responde al declive de la provisión de música en las escuelas estatales del Reino Unido. Con presupuestos recortados y aulas en silencio, cada impresión vendida reunirá fondos para llevar instrumentos directamente a las escuelas y asegurar que la próxima generación tenga las herramientas para tocar, crear y soñar en grande”.
La banda invita a la comunidad educativa y al público general a postular instituciones educativas a través de un enlace habilitado para recibir instrumentos musicales, ampliando así el alcance e impacto del proyecto.
En el marco de su gira “Oasis Live’25″, la banda ya realizó sus presentaciones en el Reino Unido y Norteamérica. Ahora, será el turno de Asia, luego Oceanía, y por último, América del Sur.
