Hundreds Gather to Honor Charlie Kirk
Hundreds of people gathered in St. Francis, Wisconsin, to take part in a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was assassinated.
The event was hosted by the Republican Party of Milwaukee County on what would have been Kirk's birthday. Attendees, such as Aspen Miller, shared their emotional connections to Kirk, despite never having met him in person.
“It’s like a parasocial relationship that we have with people, and I couldn’t listen to my podcaster anymore and his wisdom,”
Miller said, highlighting the impact of Kirk's faith and family values on her life. “I can’t imagine what people who knew him must be feeling, because we feel it heavy, so it must just be that much more deep for them.”
The memorial event took place at Milton Vretenar Memorial Park, where attendees shared their memories and emotions, still reeling from Kirk's assassination just over a month prior.
