President Donald Trump will be honoring Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in America.
Trump remembered Kirk as a transformational leader at the top of his remarks on Thursday at a September 11, 2001, observance event at the Pentagon.
“Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief so many Americans at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk have felt,” Trump said. “Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.”
“Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Erika, and his beautiful children, fantastic people they are. We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on,” he added.
Trump then revealed his plans to honor Kirk.
“I’m pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie Kirk posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The date of the ceremony will be announced, and I can only guarantee you one thing: that we will have a very big crowd, very, very big,” Trump said.

Amen.
Deserved.
Was thinking this today.
Charlie from Goldwater’s state? I didn’t know that.
God bless and Protect the Trump and Vance families.
Good on you, Donald J.
Promising a BIG crowd.
...in other news
FOX just now reporting that Patel and Bongino are on FBI jet to Utah. Sounds like this investigation is coming to a milestone of some sort. Perhaps they have the guy. News Conference early evening tonight.
I was thinking that Trump should award Charlie the Presidential Medal of Freedom last night.
Excellent. Charlie was one of the most insightful, powerful men in the world until yesterday if you think about it.
He was beginning to capture all but the moonbat college student’s hearts and minds. Thinking long term, he was more dangerous to the dangerous left as PDJT is.
Those two wouldn’t be going there just to look around. They got him/her/they/it.
Seemingly so.
I would pay to see Bongino give the assasdin a knock out punch. It would help with my grief...
Watch the commies boo this vehemently and with rage. It’s all they have.
I hope they got him alive, so he can suffer on death row.
Well said.
I know that feeling.
I think something slow and painful with his eyes propped open in front of a big mirror.
He should lie in honor at the Capitol.
Amen. Well-deserved.
Sorry, I do not want us to pay for the monster’s upkeep.
Absolutely the right move.
