U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls, R-TX, has shared his belief that conservative activist Charlie Kirk would have been another disciple of Jesus christ had he lived during biblical times. The congressman made the statement during a House Judiciary Committee on FBI Oversight on Wednesday.

“Charlie Kirk was a man of faith first and foremost,” Nehls said. “He loved his Lord Jesus. He loved his family. Beautiful wife, beautiful children. Just a remarkable honorable man that was silenced with this assassin‘s bullet. I would say if Charlie Kirk lived in the biblical times he‘d have been the 13th disciple.”

Nehls’ comments came whilst FBI Director Kash Patel was fielding questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files and the agency’s investigation into Kirk’s assassination last week. The congressman took the moment to share his fond thoughts over the deceased activist.
