WASHINGTON — The funeral for conservative activist Charlie Kirk is scheduled for Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals — and President Trump has already promised to attend.
Turning Point USA invited supporters to join them “in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend,” whose “life was a testament to faith, courage, and conviction.”
Trump said Friday he was going to attend the funeral after addressing the nation Wednesday night in an emotional tribute.
“To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah,” he said in a four-minute video posted Wednesday to his Truth Social.
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University as part of his American Comeback tour, launching a multi-day manhunt that ended with the arrest of alleged assassin Tyler Robinson on Friday.

They’re going to need a bigger stadium.
New fundraising record reached to support Charlie Kirk’s family
Ain't THAT the truth. May he rest in eternal peace.
Good thing the Cardinals are away that weekend.
/patting myself on the back
Right now I’m going to pray for the safety of our President, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
That’s for a vigil that is NOT where the funeral will be
Indeed.
They’re going to turn it into a media event.
Surely there will be more than one event. This isn’t the funeral, this will be a memorial service. I would guess that the true funeral will be private.
I've seen this movie; it ends badly.
[tin-hat off]
The title literally says, “funeral”.
I would hope there would be an actual intimate and respectful funeral at some point.
“New fundraising record reached to support Charlie Kirk’s family”
There were two different sponsored fundraisers. Early this morning there were nearly 5 million between them. Now well over 5 million.

My husband and I have been financially onboard TPUSA for 9 years since we met Charlie Kirk at a fundraiser in Scottsdale. We started our married life with Campus Crusade for Christ sharing the love of Christ with athletes and understand the call to ministry that God gives. We are registered for the memorial along with our family members and pray it will be just the beginning of a total turning point in America towards Jesus Christ!
Charlie’s DOB: October 14, 1993
He would have been eligible to run and/or be on the ticket in 2028. That would have been something.
“””He would have been eligible to run and/or be on the ticket in 2028. That would have been something.”””
Vance/Kirk 2028 Wow.
Are Charlie’s parents still living? I haven’t heard anything attributed to them.
My Birthday!!
