Charles Krauthammer Tributes Pour in on Twitter

Tributes poured in via Twitter on Thursday for Charles Krauthammer, the conservative commentator and Pulitzer Prize winner, who died at 68 only weeks after revealing he had cancer.

Krauthammer announced earlier this month he had "only a few weeks to live" because of an aggressive form of cancer.

"This is the final verdict," he said in a June 8 statement. "My fight is over."

Members of Congress, political commentators and journalists took to Twitter to pay tribute to Krauthammer:

Charles Krauthammer died today. America has lost a giant. Superb intellect and a true patriot. Our country was blessed by his presence. Charles Krauthammer RIP.

Charles was a brilliant thinker and an outstanding communicator--but far more importantly, a man of unwavering character and integrity who treated everyone with respect. We will miss him.

Praying for the Krauthammer family. https://t.co/r7EnXIwvDz

Very sad to hear about Charles Krauthammer...he once told me that he did not fear death but did regret that he would not be around to find out how everything turned out. Everyone loved Charles and for good reason - a very decent man.

There will never be another Dr. @krauthammer - never. His brilliance, humor and kindness brightened the lives of everyone who was blessed enough to cross his path. He challenged me, inspired me and I find it hard to believe he's gone. #RIP My Dear Friend - I'm better bc of you
