President Donald Trump, at a memorial event at the Pentagon on Thursday on the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, announced he will posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Kirk, a prominent conservative activist, was shot during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Trump later that day announced his death.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award in the U.S. Trump said that the day of that ceremony would be announced soon, adding he thought it would surely draw a big crowd.

Trump told reporters with him at the Pentagon that he plans to speak with Kirk's family on Thursday afternoon. Kirk is survived by his wife Erika and two young children.

Kirk preached hate.

5. Just as disgusting as giving it to Limbaugh was.

6. Oh good grief.

Every single day, I shake my head in bewilderment and say "what next?" How low can this creature go and when will it ever end?

I said it before and I'll say it again, how in the world are people okay with all of this? It's like a collective madness. Hatefulness, bigotry, racism, misogyny, and ignorance are all to be celebrated and rewarded. How the hell did we get here? And how the hell do we get out of it?

What happened to kindness, decency, empathy? I thought those were good traits to have.

To me, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is now a worthless piece of junk. Thank you, DJT, for ruining yet another American tradition.

7. Not the first

self-righteous hate mob scapegoating minorities and handing out awards.

Orders, decorations, and medals of Nazi Germany

12. Photo-op for Trump...as usual.

The ceremony will be about Trump....not what's his name.

13. Will Kirk be laying in state?

[GoCubsGo]

14. Whatever.

Drumpf made that award absolutely worthless when he handed it to people who hate freedom, like Limbaugh and Miriam Adelson during his first term. I hope that, if we somehow rid ourselves of this fascist nightmare, we can replace it with a new means of recognizing people who actually care about freedom. Or, at the very least, find a way to rescind the ones awarded by this fucking sack of shit.

15. Why not?

He already gave it to Rush Limpblob.

16. Special services for Ashli Babbit, $5 mil for her mom, now this for bigot who advocated bad actions?

Hmmm, this on top of legitimate observations & questions about Trump's health AND.... his concerns about making it to heaven.

Guilty conscious and trying to buy a pass to the Pearly Gates, just in case they are a real thing?

Oh man, he is really showing some tells.
