Charlie Kirk’s body has arrived in Arizona. A government machine was used for the transfer.
The body of the right activist Charlie Kirk was transferred to his home state of Arizona on board the Air Force Two of the Vice President. In addition to Kirk’s wife Erika and his two children, Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha were also present. This reported several US media.
After landing at Phoenix Airport, JD Vance is said to have helped to carry Kirk’s coffin out of the plane. Kirk’s widow Erika and Usha Vance have left the machine hand in hand. Previously, the broadcaster CBS News and the news site “Politico”, citing insiders, reported that Vance and friends of Kirk should be on board on the flight.
The Vice President and his wife traveled to Salt Lake City in the state of Utah on Thursday, where Kirk was shot on a university camp on Wednesday. It was originally planned that Vance will fly to the 9/11 memorial in New York on the same day to commemorate the terrorist victims of September 11, 2001.
Kirk was an influential representative of the Trump movement “Make America Great Again” (Maga) and supported today’s president in his election campaign. Already on Wednesday, the Vice President had written on social media that Kirk had a friendship with Kirk.
After the fatal attack, the investigators in the United States continue to search for the shooter. Kirk was aimed at a younger audience and founded the youth activist organization Turning Point USA in 2012, which is active at many high school and universities.
The headquarters of Turing Point USA is in Arizona’s capital Phoenix, the Kirk family lives in the city.
