Donald Trump memorialized Charlie Kirk as a “martyr for American freedom” at a funeral Sunday night for the slain conservative activist.<br /><br />Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was killed at a Utah university speaking event on Sept. 10, and many on the right, including the President, have responded by promising a crackdown on the left, igniting debates on political violence and free speech.<br /><br />“He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose. He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them,” Trump said of Kirk. “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them. I’m sorry.”
