NEW: Charlie Kirk to be Awarded Posthumous Medal of Freedom on What Would Have Been 32nd Birthday
President Trump is scheduled to award Charlie Kirk with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday, October 14, the day that the slain Turning Point USA founder would have turned 32 years old.
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that he’s coming back from his trip to the Middle East, where he plans to officially sign off on phase one of the 20-point peace plan between Israel and Hamas, on Tuesday “for Charlie Kirk.”
“We’re giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest honor you get outside of the Congressional Medal of Honor,” he said. “Erika, his beautiful wife, is going to be here, and a lot of people are going to be here.”
WATCH:
Kirk, a 31-year-old husband, father, and leader in the conservative movement, was murdered on September 10, 2025, while hosting a campus speaking tour event at Utah Valley University.
The horrific scene unfolded in front of thousands of college students at the university.
Kirk’s accused killer, 22-year-old gay trans-chaser Tyler Robinson, reportedly expressed that Kirk’s views on transgender identity were “hateful” towards his trans lover and roommate, Lance Twiggs.
Utah prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Robinson, who was charged with seven counts related to the shooting.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump, while delivering remarks at the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, on September 11, announced that he would posthumously award Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on an unspecified date.
“Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people,” Trump said in remembrance of the Great Charlie Kirk.
The Gateway Pundit will provide updates on Tuesday's event.
