Yesterday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was murdered while speaking on a college campus in Utah.
And last night, a crowd gathered on Idaho’s statehouse steps to remember Kirk.

Jeffrey Lyons, associate professor at the School of Public Service at Boise State University, joins Idaho Matters to talk more.
