And the same commentators who, this week, are screaming fascism over a cancelled late night TV show where the anchor had no talent and no ratings last week were implying that Charlie Kirk deserved what happened to him,” he said.”Over the last 11 days we have heard stories of commentators, influencers and others in our society who greeted his assassination with sick approval, excuses or even jubilation.

They are major losers,” he added.Tens of thousands attended the service, including Vice President JD Vance, senior administration officials, and young conservatives influenced by Kirk’s activism.Trump praised Kirk as a “great American hero” and a “martyr” for freedom.
