"We're here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, [a] beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I've ever seen before, Trump said at the White House. [He was] an American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality and the highest caliber the late, great Charlie Kirk. The president, during a ceremony that included Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk, Vice President JD Vance, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, said Kirk had an unmatched ability to connect with young voters."
"Charlie never missed an opportunity to remind us of the Judeo-Christian principles of our nation's founding, or to share his deep Christian faith, Trump said. In his final moments, Charlie testified to the greatness of America and to the glory of our Savior, with whom he now rests in heaven and he is going to make heaven. I said, I'm not sure I could make it, but he's going to make it. He's there. He's looking down on us right now. So incredible."
President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a White House ceremony attended by Kirk's wife Erika, Vice President JD Vance, and other officials. Trump praised Kirk as a fearless warrior for liberty, a patriot of deep conviction, a faithful Christian, and an effective mobilizer of young conservative voters. Trump described Kirk's final moments as a testimony to America's greatness and to Christian faith and called Kirk a martyr for truth and a staunch defender of free speech. The ceremony included comparisons of Kirk to historic leaders and occasional moments of levity.
