Donald Trump and Erika Kirk at the ceremony / White House
President Donald Trump on Oct. 14 posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation's highest civilian honour — to conservative firebrand and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last month while addressing students in what Trump called a "heinous, demonic act of murder."
