摘要
特朗普总统向已故保守派活动家查理·柯克追授总统自由勋章，该勋章由柯克的遗孀埃里卡在柯克本应庆祝的第32个生日当天接受。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周二在白宫举行的仪式上追授保守派活动家查理·柯克总统自由勋章。该荣誉由柯克的遗孀埃里卡在柯克本应庆祝的第32个生日当天接受。
柯克是Turning Point USA的创始人，于九月在犹他谷大学的一次活动中遭枪击身亡。他以动员年轻保守派著称，是特朗普2024年总统竞选的重要支持者。
特朗普在致辞中称柯克为“独一无二”和“势不可挡”，并补充道：“查理·柯克是为真理和自由而牺牲的烈士。”
出席仪式的有多位知名人士，包括副总统J.D.范斯、财政部长斯科特·贝森特、商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克、司法部长帕姆·邦迪和国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯。此外，柯克的亲密同事如说客阿瑟·施瓦茨和杰夫·米勒、前特朗普副幕僚长泰勒·布多维奇、特朗普战略师亚历克斯·布鲁斯维茨、Turning Point顾问安德鲁·科尔维特以及前福克斯新闻主持人塔克·卡尔森也出席了仪式。
柯克创办的Turning Point USA在保守派青年运动中发挥了重要作用，特别是在亚利桑那等关键摇摆州支持特朗普的竞选工作中起到了关键作用。
总统自由勋章创立于1963年，是美国最高的平民荣誉。历届获得者包括奥黛丽·赫本、米尔顿·弗里德曼、沃尔特·克朗凯特和爱德华·肯尼迪。特朗普此前曾将该勋章授予支持者如拉什·林博和宣布计划表彰鲁迪·朱利安尼。
