President Donald Trump posthumously awards Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, on Tuesday, October 14.
Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10 while engaging in open debate at Utah Valley University. 22-year-old Tyler Robinson is charged with his murder, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Trump hosted Argentinian President Javier Milei earlier Tuesday, who last week honored Kirk during a concert and said after the conservative leader’s death, “The whole world lost an incredible human being.”
