White House sending two planeloads of staffers to Charlie Kirk funeral

“Two planes full” of Trump administration officials and staff will travel with the president to attend Charlie Kirk’s funeral, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Saturday.

The immense interest in celebrating the life of the slain Turning Point USA founder underscores how deeply Kirk impacted leaders in the nation’s capital, she said.

“We’re actually taking two planes full of white House staff,” Leavitt told Fox News. “That just speaks to how many people [Kirk] touched at the highest levels of our government.”

“And he will surely be honored and remembered tomorrow.” 

The memorial service for Kirk – “Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk” – will be held Sunday at 11 a.m. local time at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

The event is expected to draw 100,000 mourners and will include remarks from President Trump and many other high-level government officials. 

“The president, the vice president, the speaker of the House – we have Cabinet secretaries who will be speaking,” Leavitt said of the memorial service, which has been given the highest-level security designation by the Department of Homeland Security. 

The White House predicts the conservative activist’s movement “will only grow bigger” in the wake of his murder. 

“The historic MAGA movement that Charlie grew and helped lead will only grow bigger and stronger in the wake of his heinous assassination because people want to live like Charlie Kirk did and courageously carry on his noble mission,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told The Post.
