On Sunday, US President Donald Trump appreciated the killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk as a “big American hero” and “martyr” for freedom in a commemorative service that took place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Other important conservatives joined in honor to honor the killed political activist, whose work, as they said, must be transferred forward.
Here’s what Trump said
“Now he is a martyr for freedom of America,” Trump said in honor. “I know I’m talking here for everyone today when I say that none of us will ever forget Charlie. And even now there will be no history.”
The commemorative service for Charlie Kirk, which President Trump attributed as a key figure in his victory in 2024, pulled tens of thousands of mourns. Among the participants were Vice President JD Vance, CEO of Tesla Elon Musk, the highest officials of the administration and young conservatives influenced by a 31 -year -old activist.
The speakers at the Commemorative Service emphasized Kirk’s deep religious belief and his belief that young conservatives should marry, raise families and instill their values into the next generation to strengthen their movement. They urged conservative activists – often emphatically – to worship Kirk’s heritage by continuing to the right to shift American politics to the right.

“For Charlie, we will remember that it is better to stand on the feet of the United States and to defend the truth than to die on his knees,” Vance said. “My friends, for Charlie, we must remember that he is the hero of the United States. And he is a martyr of Christian faith,” he added.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk during the performance of the 10th September on the Utah College camp began a hard debate on violence, decency and free expression in the era of a deep political division.
Shooting raised fear between some Americans that Trump was trying to use outrage over killing as justification to suppress the voices of his critics and political opponents.

When the memorial began, those who were approaching Kirka prayed, and the floors in the house of the Arizona cardinals of the NFL shook from the bass of Christian rock bands. The service opened with a feeling of megachurch service before it ran into something that resembled a political rally.

The crowds began to stand before the dawn to secure their space inside the State Farm Stadium west of Phoenix, where Kirka’s turnover is located. The safety was tight and the speakers delivered their tribute from behind the bulletproof glass.
The stadium 63,400 seats quickly filled with people dressed in red, white and blue, as the organizers suggested.
The mood at the stadium ran and flowed after a service that stretched for more than five hours. Sadness was patient and heart, even after waiting for the entry and then an hour or more for food in the stadium concession lines.
Kirk’s widow Erika introduced in her own address in the middle of her sorrow and found the comfort that her husband had left this world without regret. She said she forgives a man accused of killing.

Homage to Donald Trump Charlie Kirk
President Trump, who closed this service, appreciated Charlie Kirk as a great “American hero” and “martyr” for freedom. He said that Charlie Kirk “hated his opponents” and “wanted the best for them”, “an attribute that was hard to understand.
“I disagreed with Charlie there. I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them,” Trump said. “Sorry, I’m sorry, Erika.”
Comments about Charlie Kirk become a political point Flashpoint
Trump accused the “radical left” for Kirka’s death and threatened to go after liberal organizations, gifts and others who believe that they were malignant or celebrate killing.
Dozens of people, from journalists to teachers to hosts at night Jimmy Kimmel, faced suspension or lost their job after prominent conservative activists and administrative officials aimed at notes about Kirka they considered offensive. The retaliation again lit a debate on the protection of the first addition.
Some speakers at the memorial said Kirk fought against evil and referred to the vague “they” as an enemy. The others were more direct. “You have no idea that the dragon you have woken up has no idea how we decide to save this civilization, save the West, save this republic,” said the White House chief Stephen Miller.

Kirk was known for a provocative statement that critics described as racist, misogynous, anti-immigrant or Transphobic. While these remarks caused resistance, many conservatives prevented him and claimed that such criticism had unfairly focused on isolated incidents and undermined the legacy of an inspirational conservative voice.
Meanwhile, 22 -year -old Tyler Robinson of Utah was charged with Kirk’s murder and could face death punishment if he was convicted of the most serious accusations. While the authorities still have to set a definitive motive, prosecutors revealed that Robinson had sent a text message to his partner after shooting and said he had “enough” Kirk’s hatred.

Kirk was a celebrity Maga with a loyal following, which turned out to be supporting or arguing with him as he traveled on the ground for events like the Utah Valley University, where he was shot. The speaker, including the Minister of Defense Pete Hegset and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, expressed respect for Kirk’s ability to go into what many conservatives saw as a lion day to create a conservative case: College Campuss, AP informed.
“Why don’t you start more easily,” Rubio recalled when he first heard about Kirk years ago. “Like Communist Cuba?”
