Trump Awards Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom
President Trump on Tuesday posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, bestowing the nation’s highest civilian honor on a political ally who was assassinated last month.
“We’re here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I’ve ever seen before, and an American patriot of the deepest conviction,” Mr. Trump said during a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, which was attended by most of the cabinet.
