Trump to join thousands of others at Charlie Kirk memorial service

Charlie Kirk Erika Kirk Donald Trump
  • President Donald Trump and key figures from his "Make America Great Again" movement will attend a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Arizona.
  • Kirk, 31, was assassinated on 10 September at a Utah college campus, an event President Trump credits with significantly contributing to his 2024 election victory.
  • His death has sparked a heated debate on violence and free speech, with President Trump blaming the "radical left" and threatening action against those he deems critics.
  • Retaliation against individuals making "offensive" comments about Kirk has led to job losses and a First Amendment debate, including the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show.
  • Kirk founded Turning Point, a multimillion-dollar organisation mobilising young Christian conservatives, and his widow, Erika Kirk, has vowed to continue his movement.
