President Donald Trump on Tuesday posthumously awarded the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. The ceremony took place on what would have been Kirk’s 32nd birthday.
On September 10, Kirk was shot and killed while speaking with college students at Utah Valley University. The alleged gunman, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, allegedly told his male romantic partner that he killed Kirk due to his “hatred” of trans people.
