President Donald Trump and eminent members of his movement “Make America Great Again” will pay tribute Sunday to conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose murder marked a signal moment in the heavy political atmosphere of America.

The commemorative service for Kirk, which Trump attributes to a pivotal role in his electoral victory in 2024, should attract tens of thousands of mourning people, including vice-president JD Vance, senior White House officials and young conservatives shaped by the 31-year-old Firebrand.

The assassination of Kirk during an appearance of September 10 on a campus of the Utah college sparked a fierce debate on violence, decency and freedom of expression at a time of deep political division. The shooting also aroused fear among some Americans that Trump tries to attribute indignation to murder as a justification to suppress the voices of his criticism and political opponents.

The service will take place at the State Farm Stadium, the House of the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL west of Phoenix, where the Turning Point of Kirk is based. Security should be tight, with a similar level of federal presence on the application of the law as for the Super Bowl or any other high -level event.

Kirk comments have become a Trump administration target

Trump blamed the “radical left” of Kirk’s death and threatened to take care of it after liberal organizations and donors or others who, according to him, are evil or celebrate the death of Kirk.

He criticized the Democrats of the Chamber who voted against a resolution of the Chamber which praised “the life and inheritance” of Kirk, who adopted the house under republican control on Friday.

“Who could vote against this? All (the Republicans) said:” Please condemn the assassination of a human being, “Trump told journalists.” And (the Democrats) said: “No, no, we are not going to do it.” ”

Dozens of people, from journalists to teachers, have already lost their jobs as eminent conservative activists and administration responsible for the comments on KIRK, which they deem offensive or festive. Reprisals in turn put on a debate on the first amendment when the Trump administration promises a remuneration against those who disseminate what is considered to be derogatory remarks following the death of Kirk.

ABC withdrawn Jimmy Kimmel’s late evening show in the air after the counterposter of affiliated broadcasters and the head of the federal commission of federal communications on the comedian’s remarks on Kirk.

The State Department also warned that it would revoke the visas of all the foreigners who celebrated the assassination of Kirk.

A 22 -year -old Utah man, Tyler Robinson, was accused of having killed Kirk and faced the death penalty if he was found guilty of the most serious accusations. The authorities did not reveal a clear reason in the shooting, but the prosecutors say that Robinson wrote in a text to his partner after the shooting that he had “enough” of Kirk hatred.

Kirk’s heritage with conservative political influence

Turning Point, the group that Kirk founded to mobilize young Christian conservatives, has become a several million dollars operation under its direction with enormous scope.

The tens of thousands of people who should fill the stadium of Glendale for the Kirk memorial bear witness to the massive influence it has accumulated in conservative America.

Kirk was a provocative who sometimes made statements that some called racists, misogynists, anti-immigrants and transphobes. This attracted the reactions of the conservatives who consider criticism as a selection of cherries for a few moments to insult the legacy they see of an inspiring conservative leader.

Kirk was a celebrity Maga with a faithful follow -up that turned out to support or chat with him while he was traveling in the country for events like that of the University of Utah Valley, where he was shot. Kirk developed the organization, largely, through the strength of his personality and his debate of chops.

Arizona is the original state of Kirk, which grew up outside Chicago and founded Turning Point there before moving the organization to Phoenix. Vance, who said Kirk’s plea was a great reason why Trump chose him to serve as vice-president, transported the Kirk of Utah Kirk coffin to Arizona on the Air Force two the day after his death, and he was then guest host of the Kirk podcast.

The speakers planned for the service include Trump, Vance, the secretary of health and social services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the defense secretary Pete Hegseth and the director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Donald Trump Jr., the right commentator Tucker Carlson and assistants from the White House Stephen Miller and Sergio Gor should also speak.

The longtime head of worship, Chris Tomlin, will provide music, as well as other big names in contemporary Christian music, notably Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham and the Duo Mari and wife Kari Jobe Carnes and Cody Carnes.

The widow of Kirk, who has been appointed the new turnover chief, will also speak. Erika Kirk has embarked on an emotional speech a few days after her death that “the movement that my husband has built will not die.”
