WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump posthumously honored conservative commentator Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom during an event in the White House Rose Garden on Oct. 14.
“Today, we’re here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, a beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I’ve ever seen before, and an American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality and the highest caliber, the late great Charlie Kirk,” Trump said during the first official event in the newly redesigned Rose Garden Club, renovated by the president to include a large concrete patio, presidential walk of fame, gold embellishments, and other decorations.
