From Overton News:
Trump began by speaking from the heart about the man who had changed the landscape of American politics.
The president offered some of the kindest words ever uttered about Kirk and his impact on the nation.
“Today we are here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, a beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I have ever seen before.”
“An American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality, and the highest caliber—the late, great Charlie Kirk.”
He recounted the tragedy of Kirk’s assassination with a gravity that silenced the crowd.
“He was assassinated in the prime of his life for boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith, and relentlessly fighting for a better and stronger America. He loved this country.”
When Trump announced the award, the Rose Garden erupted in applause.
“And that’s why this afternoon, it is my privilege to posthumously award Charlie James Kirk, our nation’s highest civilian honor—the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
