President Trump on Monday signaled he may deliver remarks at Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s upcoming memorial service and said the suspected assassin of the conservative activist was likely radicalized online.

While speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump described the background of the suspected shooter, saying he may have turned to extremism after consuming radical left-wing content online.

The last time the President spoke to Kirk was when the conservative activist invited him to speak at an event at the last minute, Trump recalled.

“You can’t do that to me, Charlie,” Trump said. “But usually I ended up going. He was great. He was a great guy. And he didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve this. Believe me.”

When asked if Rep. Ilhan Omar should lose her committee assignments over her comments about Kirk, Trump called her a “disgraceful” and “disgusting” person. 

“I think she’s a disgraceful person,” he said. “You know, I think she’s a disgraceful person, a loser.”

Doors for the memorial at State Farm Stadium will open at 8 a.m. local time, and the program will begin at 11 a.m., according to the website created for the event. Interested attendees can register online, and the event is first come, first served.
