I never understood the gravity and despair of those who mourned the assassination of JFK and MLK Jr until yesterday

I now understand the change makers that those men were and how Charlie Kirk was the same change maker and their contribution to our nation

God Bless this air force traffic controller, as well as Charlie Kirk’s family and loved ones.

He has so many.

Charlie Kirk’s funeral will be held next weekend.

JD Vance helped carry his casket onto Air Force Two for the journey today, and President Trump has confirmed that he will be attending the funeral.

Fox News has more details:

Vice President JD Vance walked alongside the casket of Charlie Kirk on Thursday evening, marking the beginning of a series of solemn tributes to the conservative figure.

Escorted across the tarmac in Salt Lake City, Utah, by a military pallbearer detail, Kirk’s casket will travel aboard Air Force Two, returning him to his home state of Arizona. A video of the moment showed his wife Erika Frantzve visibly emotional as the casket passed before her.

Upon arriving in Phoenix, Frantzve deplaned Air Force Two while holding the hand of second lady Usha Vance. His casket was transported to Hansen Memorial Chapel. Kirk will be buried in Arizona and President Donald Trump said he will attend the funeral.

Trump told reporters on Thursday evening that he believed that Kirk’s funeral would be held “next weekend” adding that he would attend.
