WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump honored slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk as he remembered the victims of Sept. 11 during a ceremony Thursday in Virginia, and announced he would posthumously award the popular figure the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on,” Trump said. The life, example, and even death of Christ-follower and American patriot Charlie Kirk give me hope, sheer courage, no matter the arena,” Hegseth said. Trump did not cancel a scheduled visit to a New York Yankees game Thursday night as part of a 9/11 commemoration. During last year’s presidential campaign, a 20-year-old gunman attempted to assassinate Trump during an event in Pennsylvania.
