Anyone who's seen me on social media knows I'm far more likely to crack a joke or posting some grossly inappropriate memes than I am to shed a tear. He then pointed up to a stadium sky box when the president sat behind bulletproof glass. I know this because I've even gotten a call from that guy a couple of times."
"I want to start where I know Charlie would want me to, with what was most important to him, and that was his relationship with Christ, Don Jr. said to wild applause. To say Charlie knew more about the Bible than me is an understatement, folks. It's like saying Donald Trump knows more about being president than Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris. No kidding!"
Tens of thousands of mourners packed State Farm Stadium and an overflow venue in Glendale, Arizona, to honor Charlie Kirk, who was gunned down on Sept. 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. Donald Trump Jr. lightened the mood by impersonating his father, mimicking a call about being aggressive on social media and drawing roaring laughter and waves from the president in a sky box. Don Jr. then grew somber, saying he was truly devastated and considered Kirk like a little brother. He emphasized Kirk's relationship with Christ, quoted Kirk's wish to be remembered for courage and faith, and cited the story of St. Stephen for comfort amid the assassination.
