At a memorial service held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, former President Donald Trump delivered a powerful tribute to Charlie Kirk — the conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA. Trump described Kirk as “a martyr for American freedom” and “one of the greatest patriots this nation has ever known.”

The event drew tens of thousands of attendees, including prominent conservative leaders and supporters of the MAGA movement. In his remarks, Trump declared: “None of us will ever forget Charlie Kirk — and neither will history.”

Erika Kirk, Charlie’s wife and now the leader of Turning Point USA, gave an emotional speech. She expressed forgiveness toward the person accused in the case, pointing to her Christian faith and the values her husband deeply believed in.

Vice President JD Vance and several other conservative figures also joined the service, emphasizing their commitment to carrying forward Kirk’s mission. They stressed that the principles he stood for would remain central to the conservative movement.

The memorial was not only a moment of mourning but also a call to action — urging supporters to continue Kirk’s legacy, especially in inspiring younger generations about individual freedom, faith, and the political ideals he championed.
