“This service will be a unifying event focused on prayer, mourning, and celebrating the life, legacy, and memory of Charlie Kirk — a national treasure whose life was cut far too short,” a press release from GOP Arizona state Sen. Jack Hoffman said.

Kirk, 31, was assassinated while answering questions at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. He had massive influence with young conservatives, having founded TPUSA at just 18 years old. Kirk was known for speaking openly about his Christian faith as much as his politics.

Vigils have been held across the country in Kirk’s honor.

Kirk’s suspected assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” according to Republican Utah Governor Spencer Cox. Robinson was reportedly living with a trans-identifying partner.

He’s facing state charges including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice.

President Donald Trump announced this week that he will posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The pair were extremely close, and the Trump family recently said the president viewed Kirk “like a son.”

“They said, ‘Charlie Kirk is dead,'” Trump recounted learning of Kirk’s murder. “I didn’t know what they meant. I said, ‘What do you mean, dead?’ ‘Charlie Kirk was shot…’ I just told these people, ‘Get out. Just go.’”

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told NewsNation, “The president was clear: the perpetrator of this horrific act will pay for what they did. They will face the full wrath of the American justice system. And any other left-wing whack jobs who engage in targeted political violence like the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

A Democrat strategist referred to the late conservative commentator Charlie Kirk as a professional cancel culture martyr and called his campus tour a “content farm for white supremacy” just days before he was assassinated at a campus event in Orem, Utah.

Gabi Finlayson — whose professional credits include work for political campaigns for high profile Democrats like former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and former President Joe Biden — gave a primer on Kirk’s planned college campus tour, referring to the Turning Point USA founder as the ringleader for “little baby fascists.”

“Today’s ‘Fresh Hill’ is that Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, is bringing his so-called American Comeback Tour to two campuses near you,” she said. Standing in front of a white board, she punctuated several of her statements by holding up post-it notes and then sticking them to the board.

“He is starting his tour at UVU on September 10th, and then he’ll be back in Utah on the 30th at Utah State,” she continued, adding in slightly lower tones, “Terrible demon boy.”

“Charlie Kirk is one of these campus tour speakers that always sparks controversy, and for very good reason,” Finlayson added, claiming that TPUSA had initially been about honest debate, but had since become something very different.

“Since its founding, it abandoned this non-partisan debate journey that it was on, and [is] now a content farm for white supremacy, cancel culture martyrdom, conspiracy theorists, and all too often these mega conventions where little baby fascists get to cosplay as freedom fighters,” she said.

“So not only is Turning Point USA controversial, but Charlie Kirk, the founder himself, is exceptionally controversial,” Finlayson concluded.
