RFK Jr. Reveals Unforgettable Details About Charlie Kirk in Emotional Tribute

Prepare to appreciate Charlie on a whole new level.

The Kennedy Center overflowed with emotion Sunday evening as mourners honored Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot in the neck while debating students at Utah Valley University on September 10.

Thousands showed up, many waiting in long lines outside the hall to hear tributes from Karoline Leavitt, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Speaker Mike Johnson, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, and others, in a historic gathering paying tribute to the one-and-only Charlie Kirk.

Among those waiting outside was a 14-year-old boy named Bryson Levy, who blew away Real America Voice’s Ben Bergquam with powerful words about Kirk:

BEN: “Young man, you want to say why you’re here, what Charlie Kirk meant to you?”

BRYSON: “He was my idol. I remember watching his videos, wanting to be like him. I would just see the way he would debate, and he stayed calm while the left was just yelling at him. And he was just so nice about it.

“And then, they hated him so much because he knew he was right, but they just didn’t want to admit it, so they ended up hating him, and they just killed him for it.”

BEN (left in awe): “What’s your name? How old are you?”

BRYSON: “I’m Bryson Levy. I’m 14.”

BEN: “Man, God bless you.”

Keep a close eye on this kid. He’s going places.

Inside the hall, Speaker Mike Johnson fought back tears as he spoke about Kirk’s love for others, telling the crowd, “We know exactly where Charlie is right now.”

Karoline Leavitt followed with a heartfelt seven-minute tribute. She told the audience how Kirk believed in her when no one else did, capturing how his kind heart left an impression everywhere he went.

Then came DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who turned her attention to the “empty” people mocking Kirk’s death:

“Those who are full of anger and hopelessness and hate right now, some of them protesting outside this hall today, unfortunately, they do not have the spiritual happiness that Charlie experienced. They’re empty.

“And this is where their anger is coming from. It is their rejection of God, their desire to be God. And therefore, they have made God their enemy.”

Following Gabbard was HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who brought new stories that lit up the internet.

First, he shared that his 17-year-old niece Zoe now carries a Bible to college because she wants to “live like Charlie Kirk.”

Kennedy then revealed that Kirk was the “primary architect” of his unification with President Trump.

Kirk even came up with the idea to light sparklers on stage when Kennedy shook Trump’s hand.

“He made a big show of it,” Kennedy laughed.

That detail spread like wildfire on social media.

Kennedy’s handshake of unity with Trump on the 2024 campaign trail quickly became one of the most iconic political moments in history, and Charlie Kirk was the mastermind behind it all.

But it was Kennedy’s closing that brought the house down. The entire building joined in thunderous chants of “USA!” after he shared a private conversation he once had with Kirk about death:

“I had a conversation once with Charlie where we were talking about the danger that we both faced from challenging entrenched interests. And he asked me if I was scared to die. And I said to him, ‘There’s a lot worse things than dying.’

“And one of the chief among us is losing our constitutional rights and having our children raised in slavery.

“I said to him at that time, ‘Sometimes our only consolation is that we can die with our boots on. We can die fighting for these things.’

“Charlie gave his life so that the rest of us would not have to suffer those fates worse than death,” Kennedy stressed.

“Now it’s our job. He’s no longer there to lead us,” Kennedy continued, telling the audience to “rush in and fill the breach” to win “this battle for our country, for God, and for our families.”

The crowd’s response was electric, erupting into thunderous chants of “USA!” Listen for yourself to hear just how powerful it was.

After Kennedy’s speech came Kari Lake, whose voice couldn’t hide her pain as she warned parents about the dangers of universities, or as she called them, “indoctrination camps.”

“How does a 22-year-old become so filled with hate?” she asked.

“Five years earlier, I was told he was a Trump supporter, and we sent our kids off to college, and they brainwashed them. I am making a plea to mothers out there. Do not send your children into these indoctrination camps. Don’t do it. Do not do it.

“At one moment, that 22-year-old who shot Charlie was a baby in his mother’s arms. And by all accounts, those parents did a good job raising him until he was sent off to be brainwashed. We have lived through the most horrific brainwashing campaign in the history of mankind.”

One of the last speakers was Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who shared a story from her travels with Kirk. She described watching him debate college students, dismantling one argument after another with calm precision, before landing the line of the night.

“One by one, no matter how controversial the question was, [Charlie] would dismantle them with his reasoning. And that’s when I realized something: Charlie Kirk didn’t need college. College needed Charlie Kirk.”

The crowd instantly knew that one was a winner. Expect plenty of t-shirts and memes with this quote to start popping up soon.

It was a beautiful night, filled with powerful words honoring one of the most influential young men in history.
