Charlie Kirk Honored By Trump, Vance and More At Memorial Service

Thousands of people from across the country came together to honor the slain Charlie Kirk ... with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance among the guest speakers remembering Charlie.

Turning Point USA -- the conservative nonprofit organization founded by Kirk in 2012 -- hosted a memorial service Sunday in Arizona ... more than a week after the commentator was shot to death in a shocking instance of political violence.

This event was separate from Kirk's funeral. Kirk's org spared no expense for the celebration of life, titled "Building A Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk" ... they tapped POTUS and the Veep as guests of honor, alongside Kirk's widow, Erika.

There was a major turnout ... Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard -- among other big names -- appeared at the memorial.

Elon Musk made an appearance too ... and squashed his beef with Trump.

Erika addressed the crowd, following a fiery address she released just days after her husband was shot in the neck while he spoke at Utah Valley University.

Kirk's widow said she forgives his killer.

Kirk died from the injury he sustained in the shooting the same day he was shot, on Sept. 10, leading to a manhunt for the shooter ... who police say is 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson.

Officials say Robinson had become frustrated with Kirk's rhetoric ... allegedly leading to the violence on the UVU campus.

The Oval Office has since blamed the political left for inciting political violence. Many Democratic leaders -- including Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom -- have spoken out against the shooting and the escalation of political violence in the country.
