ABC 7 Chicago reported more on McCoy’s speech:
Pastor Rob McCoy, the Kirk family pastor, was the first speaker for Sunday’s service. He said Kirk “had more lifetimes in 31 years than a lot of us had in the entirety of our own.”
He also said he spoke with several members of the Turning Point USA staff before stepping on stage, some of whom he said were worried they would be unsuccessful without Kirk.
ADVERTISEMENT“Without Charlie Kirk’s presence, they pulled off the largest event in Turning Point history. Let’s thank them,” McCoy said, prompting a large round of applause.
According to local officials, Turning Point had more than 200,000 people register for the memorial service on their website.
“Turning Point is alive and well,” McCoy said.
