The Charlie Kirk Funeral!

The burial and memorial service of white nationalist Charlie Kirk was streamed.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Erika Kirk, Elon Musk, some celebrities, Republican and some Democratic lawmakers attending his funeral at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Kirk, the co founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated by white man in Utah.

The suspect is being charged with capital murder and second degree murder. The suspect is being held under mental health wellness and suicide watch.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Kirk’s tragic killing has become a catalyst of the deep political divisions he and the far right created.
The white nationalist is being laid to rest.

The divisions are very deep and Trump is not working to bring people together. 

Kirk was a divisive person. He left behind a legacy of white nationalism, Christian nationalism, misogyny, lack of empathy towards others and racism.

Elected officials, faith leaders, Kirk's colleagues, and his loved ones addressed the crowd at State Farm Stadium, with supporters holding up signs and carrying American flags. Speakers emphasized Kirk’s religious faith and his contributions to the "Make America Great Again" movement as a leading voice for young conservative activists.

Choking up at times and dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief, Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, delivered an emotional eulogy for her slain husband and received a standing ovation when she declared of his killer: "I forgive him."

"I forgive him because it was what Christ did and it is what Charlie would do," said Erika Kirk. "The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the Gospel is love."

Kirk, 31, a close ally of the Trump administration and Turning Point USA co-founder, was assassinated earlier this month while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. His death sparked an outpouring of grief and anger from the highest levels of government, including Vance, who accompanied his coffin as Air Force Two transported his body home to Arizona, where Kirk lived with his wife and two children.
