REMEMBERING CHARLES
WASHINGTON POST EDITORS
"Charles wrote for the right reasons. Lord knows — and presidents, from right to left, can attest — he didn’t seek invitations to White House dinners or other badges of approval from the powerful. He sought, rather, to provoke us to think, to enlarge our understanding, at times to make us laugh. Like few others, he succeeded, week after week, Friday after Friday, year after year." — Read the full article in the Washington Post
NATIONAL REVIEW EDITORS
"Conservatism has lost a giant, a man who not only defended our civilization but represented what’s best in it. He will be missed, and never replaced."— Read the full article in National Review
THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION
"Charles Krauthammer was no ordinary columnist. He wielded his pen in the service of finding truth, not furthering politics. His thoughtful critiques did more than earn him a Pulitzer Prize–they broadened understanding, promoted civility, and always upheld integrity…. Charles consistently raised the level of our political discourse [and] will long be remembered for challenging us to think more fully about the issues of the day and dig deeper to find the truth. For his many talents and his tremendous courage, we will miss him dearly." — Read the full statement
THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE
"Charles Krauthammer's trenchant analyses of critical international issues, including his eloquent defense of the State of Israel and the Jewish people, were hallmarks of his remarkable writings, speeches, and media appearances.

FRED BARNES
"I think of Charles as the exception to the practice of conservatives pulling their punches. It’s not that they change their beliefs. They soften them or don’t mention them. They fear Washington’s intolerance. Charles Krauthammer didn’t. He went where ideas and facts took him. He was brave." — Read the full article at The Weekly Standard
LIONEL CHETWYND
"Charles was a voice of persuasion, of rational discourse, one that cleared the air of the acrid smoke slowly choking us all. While the rest of us debated to win, Charles wanted to convince…..A man of great wit, commanding enormous breadth and depth of knowledge, dedicated to presenting the truth as he sought to persuade others with reason…. He was a man of character, a man of honor, and always, above all, a true gentleman in the best sense of that word." — Read the full article in PJ Media
LEE EDWARDS
"Krauthammer was very much like a Founder. Whether they agreed with him or not, those who knew him commented on his grace, civility, and humor. He combined the character of George Washington, the prudential mind of James Madison, and the wit of Franklin. "

ROBERT EHRLICH
"Charles Krauthammer was in a very real sense a dinosaur — a man who loved to debate (often ferociously) but never felt the need to raise his voice or use a foul word. His class and intellect would never indulge such a thought. He was also efficient while engaged: He sliced and diced opponents with facts eloquently and elegantly presented."

"It turns out Charles wasn’t stating the obvious in 2013. As he did so often over his long career, he was seeing things before the rest of us. He was making an observation simple, profound, and prescient." — Read the full article in The Weekly Standard
"It was a far more personal offering than most of his written work and, despite a full catalogue of essays and columns that influenced the thinking of world leaders, it was one of the most memorable pieces in a long and distinguished career." — Read the full article in The Weekly Standard
NASH JENKINS
"His writing on U.S. politics inspired and sustained a generation of conservative policymaking; even those who strongly disagreed with him could not deny his influence. His legacy–particularly with regard to the Iraq War, for which he cheered–is worthy of the sort of serious consideration at which he was so preternaturally good. But I will remember Charles Krauthammer first and foremost as a man of deep compassion." — Read the full article in Time

"For more than three decades, Krauthammer has been the best American pundit of his generation."— Read the full article in Standpoint
