President Donald Trump paid tribute to Charlie Kirk at the late conservative activist’s memorial at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona. He said that Kirk would be impressed with the size of the crowd and said he would postpone award him the presidential medal of freedom.

Other speakers included Vice President JD Vance; Marco Rubio, Secretary of State; Pete Hegeth, Defense Secretary; Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence; Susie Wiles, Chief of Staff at the White House; and Stephen Miller, Deputy Manager for Staff.
