A massive public memorial for Charlie Kirk is underway at State Farm Stadium outside Phoenix, Arizona. Long lines began forming overnight, and attendees have been pouring into the stadium since early morning, with the crowds expected to be between 100,000 and 200,000.
"Join us in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend," Turning Point USA said in a post on X.
Key details about Kirk's public memorial:
Turning Point USA said Kirk's memorial service is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. local time. NBC News estimates the event could draw "a crowd as large as 100,000 people."
Meanwhile, a Glendale Police Department spokesperson told CNN News that she estimates crowds could exceed 200,000.
State Farm Stadium has a maximum capacity of 63,000, with the ability to expand by an additional 10,000. Down the street, Desert Diamond Arena will serve as an overflow site, with seating for about 20,000.
Eleven days ago, Kirk was assassinated by a radical leftist while speaking at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder and obstruction of justice in connection with Kirk's death. Robinson is a furry-loving leftist who was in a relationship with a transgender person. There have been no links yet between Robinson and far-left groups, but that hasn't stopped the White House from taking the rise of far-left militancy seriously.
Last week, the Trump administration requested tens of millions of dollars for extra security and vowed to crack down on leftist groups (Marxists) that sow chaos and want to collapse the nation from within.
Remember, Democrats labeled everyone they disagreed with as "fascists" and "nazis," now their armed radical leftist groups have declared war on those so-called fascists. There is also a focus on dark-money-funded NGOs helping to facilitate chaos nationwide in what has only been described as a permanent protest industrial complex, fueling "civil terrorism."
