The memorial service for Kirk, whom Trump credits with playing a pivotal role in his 2024 election victory, drew tens of thousands of mourners, including Vice President JD Vance, other senior administration officials and... President Donald Trump has released a video on social media related to the death of Charlie Kirk. "Less than two weeks ago, our country was robbed of one of the brightest lights of our times. A giant of his generation and above all, a devoted husband, father, son, Christian and patriot. Charles James Kirk was heinously murdered by a radicalized, cold blooded monster for speaking the truth that was in his heart.

He was violently killed because he spoke for freedom and justice for God. Country for reason and for common sense. He was assassinated because he lived bravely. He led boldly, and he argued brilliantly without apology. He did what was right for our nation. And so on that terrible day, September 10th, 2025, our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal.

He's a martyr now for American freedom. I know I speak for everyone here today when I say that none of us will ever forget Charlie Kirk, and neither now will history. Because while Charlie has been reunited with his creator in heaven, his voice on earth will echo through the generations and his name will live forever. In the eternal chronicle of America's greatest patriots, he will live forever to Charlie's incredible and beautiful widow, Erica. We know the weight of this monumental loss is almost unbearable. But even in the midst of heartache and pain, too great to even fathom, you have somehow found the strength and deep faith to be a comfort to millions and millions of people.

And thank you very much, Erica. Thank you very much. Today, an entire nation wraps its loving arms around you and your beautiful children. We share in your immense and overwhelming sorrow, and we vow that we will do everything we can to ensure that your children grow up in a land where their father is honored and... That's what he is." Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator and organizer, was apparently shot at an event at Utah Valley University.

He is currently hospitalized. The suspect is reportedly in custody. This land is my home, in my soul, in my soul. This land is my home, in my soul. Please welcome to the stage the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd work for all my life And I had to start again with just my children and my wife Thank my lucky stars to be living here... The flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up next to you, if it's her still today. Because there ain't no doubt I love this land.

God bless the USA. For America, for Charlie Kirk. From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea. From Detroit to Houston, over New York to L.A., there's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say That I'm proud to be an American where at least I know...

Aamer Madhani, Associated Press Aamer Madhani, Associated Press Meg Kinnard, Associated Press Meg Kinnard, Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — President Donald Trump praised Charlie Kirk as a “great American hero” and “martyr” for freedom as he and other prominent conservatives gathered Sunday evening to honor the slain conservative political activist whose... US President Donald Trump hailed the conservative activist Charlie Kirk as a "great American hero" and "martyr" during a speech to tens of thousands of mourners at a memorial service in Arizona. Trump was the headline speaker at the packed event on Sunday, which saw top officials from his administration, including Vice-President JD Vance, praise Kirk's political legacy after he was shot dead on 10 September.

Kirk's wife, Erika, delivered a tearful speech at the State Farm Stadium near Phoenix, in which she said she had forgiven her husband's alleged killer. But the US president broke with her forgiveness message to say he disagreed with Charlie Kirk's view of wanting the best for his opponent. "I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them," he said, adding: "I'm sorry, Erika." President Donald Trump delivered the final, keynote address at Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s memorial service Sunday, in Glendale, Arizona. “I know I speak for everyone here today when I say that none of us will ever forget Charlie Kirk, and neither now will history,” President Trump said. Condemning the assassination of Kirk as an attack on our entire nation, Trump said, “The gun was pointed at him, but the bullet was aimed at every one of us.”

“The radicals and their allies in the media… tried to silence Charlie for a simple reason: because he was WINNING—and he was winning BIG… They LIED about him because they did not want you... “Perhaps it should be no surprise that Charlie, who spent his life speaking with the critics of these traditions ultimately became convinced that we needed not just a political re-alignment, but also a spiritual...
