Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Calls Charlie Kirk a “Martyr for Freedom” at Arizona Memorial
Caption: Trump Calls Charlie Kirk a "Martyr for Freedom" at Arizona Memorial. In Arizona, President Donald Trump led tens of thousands in mourning slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, calling him a "martyr for American freedom." Speaking at State Farm Stadium, Trump again blamed what he described as the "radical left" for the killing, even before a suspect's motive has been confirmed. The memorial, hosted by Kirk's Turning Point USA, blended the feel of a megachurch service with a political rally. Kirk's wife, Erika, now leading the organization, delivered a heartfelt tribute. She praised her husband's devotion to faith, family, and activism — and even offered forgiveness to the 22-year-old accused of his murder. Other speakers, including Vice President JD Vance and White House adviser Stephen Miller, cast Kirk's death as a rallying cry for conservatives. The packed arena echoed with chants and hymns as Trump vowed to continue Kirk's mission, declaring: "We will never forget Charlie.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
