特朗普总统追授查理·柯克总统自由勋章
摘要
唐纳德·特朗普总统在查理·柯克本应迎来32岁生日之际，追授这位已故保守派活动家总统自由勋章。
唐纳德·特朗普总统于周二在白宫玫瑰园举行的仪式上追授保守派活动家查理·柯克总统自由勋章，恰逢柯克本应迎来他的32岁生日。Turning Point USA的创始人柯克于9月10日在犹他谷大学演讲时遭枪击身亡。
特朗普在致辞中称柯克为“为自由无畏奋斗的战士”和“最深信不疑的美国爱国者”。他补充道：“他在生命的黄金时期因大胆说出真相、坚守信仰并不懈奋斗以建设一个更好更强大的美国而被暗杀。”
仪式上，柯克的遗孀埃丽卡·柯克代表他接受了该奖项。此前访问白宫的阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱也出席了此次活动。
总统自由勋章创立于1963年，授予那些为美国安全或国家利益、世界和平或其他重大事业做出卓越贡献的个人。柯克的追授表彰了他在保守派政治中的影响力及其动员年轻保守派的作用。
