He holds great influence among young conservatives in America. In September, a memorial ceremony was held in western Arizona for activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed. President Trump gave a speech saying, We will continue to move forward to protect the values Mr. Kirk deeply believed in, and called for unity among conservatives.

Charlie Kirk, known as a leading figure among young MAGA supporters who fervently back President Trump, was shot and killed by a 22-year-old man during an event at a university in Utah on the 10th of this month.

At a memorial ceremony held on the 21st at a stadium in Mr. Kirks hometown in western Arizona, tens of thousands of people attended, and President Trump as well as key cabinet members were also present.

Following Erika, the wife who succeeded as the head of the conservative political organization founded by Mr. Kirk, President Trump was the last to take the stage and praised Mr. Kirks achievements, saying, Mr. Kirk stood shoulder to shoulder with me and united MAGA.

And now, Mr. Kirks message is bigger and stronger.

He said, We will move forward to protect the values he deeply believed in, and called for unity among conservatives.

After the incident, there have been a series of posts on social media inciting political conflict, raising concerns about deepening divisions within the country. In response, American media outlets are giving extensive coverage, including airing special programs on the ceremony.

A 29-year-old woman from Arizona said she was really distraught about Mr. Kirk being killed.

I cried for a day and a half, and its really tough.

He encouraged freedom of speech and was someone who would talk even with people he disagreed with, and I liked that about him, they said.

Also, a 16-year-old male from California said, I was really heartbroken when Mr. Kirk passed away.

On the day before the memorial ceremony, the 20th, people could be seen offering flowers.

An Oklahoma college student said, Mr. Kirk inspired me to get involved in politics.

So, I was really shocked.

Another male college student in Oklahoma said, Its really painful.

We students believe that we have a responsibility to follow in Mr. Kirks footsteps without fear and continue fighting for conservative values across the United States, they said.

Also, a 19-year-old woman from California said, I came here to show my support for Mr. Kirk.

I trust Mr. Kirk, and since he strongly believed that Mr. Trump was a great president, I support both of them, he said.
