A flood of tributes and reactions poured onto social media on Sunday as thousands packed State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, for the memorial service honoring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. 

Influential voices — from members of Congress to media personalities — shared posts praising the turnout, Erika Kirk’s message of forgiveness and the event’s faith and patriotism.

Turning Point USA contributor Alex Clark praised Erika Kirk’s “unbelievable poise and control,” as well as the event planning of the Turning Point USA team.

“Unbelievable poise and control,” Clark said along with a video of Erika Kirk. “Not to mention this woman just forgave her husband’s assassin in front of the entire world. For those who can’t wrap their minds around it … that’s what Christ did for you.”

In a separate post, Clark said, “From an event planning standpoint this should have taken at least 6 months. From a security standpoint it should have taken at least 9. These kids working at Turning Point USA did it in 5 days. This staff continually does the impossible because a great leader told them they were capable and they could. So they did.”

Internet personality Kaizen Asiedu praised Erika Kirk’s speech as “one of the most important, healing speeches in American history.”

“Everyone needs to watch it,” he added. “What an incredible woman.”

In a separate X post, Asiedu said, “Not only is it remarkable that she said this, it’s also remarkable that everyone stood up. I was there — it was the longest standing ovation of the day. A movement that reacts to murder with truth and forgiveness is a healthy movement.”

On Sept. 10, Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. In the days since, mourners across the country have filled social media with prayers and tributes, while communities have gathered at vigils to honor his legacy and show support after the conservative activist’s death.
