特朗普总统追授查理·柯克总统自由勋章
摘要
唐纳德·特朗普总统将追授保守派活动家查理·柯克总统自由勋章。柯克在犹他州一场大学活动中遭枪击身亡。
唐纳德·特朗普总统定于周二追授保守派活动家查理·柯克总统自由勋章。柯克是Turning Point USA的创始人，于9月10日在犹他谷大学发表“美国复兴之旅”演讲时遭枪击身亡，该巡回演讲旨在鼓励大学生就紧迫问题展开辩论。
该颁奖仪式恰逢柯克本应迎来的第32个生日。众议院和参议院均通过决议，将10月14日定为以他命名的“全国纪念日”。
刚从中东行程提前返回华盛顿的特朗普总统强调了该奖项的重要性，称“这是最高荣誉”。他还提到柯克的遗孀埃里卡将出席颁奖仪式。
在亚利桑那州举行的柯克追悼会上，数万人出席，特朗普总统称他为“他那一代的巨人”和“自由的捍卫者”。他补充道：“我们非常怀念他，但我毫不怀疑，查理的声音以及他注入无数人心中的勇气，尤其是年轻人，将永存。”
柯克在动员年轻保守派方面影响深远，并在支持特朗普总统运动中发挥了关键作用。然而，他在枪支暴力、LGBTQ议题和种族问题上的一些言论也引发了部分群体的批评。
总统自由勋章是美国最高的平民荣誉，授予在保障美国安全、国家利益、世界和平或文化事业方面做出重大贡献的个人。
