"My friends, for Charlie, we must remember that he is a hero to the United States of America and he is a martyr for the Christian faith. He would tell me to pray, I'm certain of it. He would tell me to pray for my friends, but also for my enemies. He would tell me to put on the full armor of God and get back to work."
"Assuming the vice airhead is quoting the book of Ephesians, to put on the "armor of God" involves—among other things—a "belt of truth" and a "breastplate of righteousness.""
"I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it is what Charlie would do."
Tens of thousands wearing red, white, and blue attended a memorial at Arizona's State Farm Stadium for Charlie Kirk. JD Vance invoked Ephesians and urged attendees to "put on the full armor of God," calling Kirk a hero and a martyr for the Christian faith. Religious imagery like a "belt of truth" and a "breastplate of righteousness" surfaced amid criticism of Kirk's past admissions about lying on immigration. Friends and officials used messianic and martyr language while Kirk's widow publicly forgave his shooter. Vance accompanied the casket and continued high-profile engagements, prompting questions about political motives.
