Former CNN hack Don Lemon lashed out over the Christian messaging and worship songs at Charlie Kirk’s memorial, saying speakers quoted Biblical scripture because they were “demanding submission.”
A beautiful memorial service for TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was held Sunday at the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Tens of thousands packed the arena to honor Charlie Kirk. Dr. Frank Turek, a Christian author who was with Charlie Kirk in the SUV as they raced to the hospital, spoke about eternity and said Charlie died instantly and was already with Jesus.
Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, delivered a moving speech centered on forgiveness. In the evening’s most powerful moment, Mrs. Kirk forgave the assassin who took her husband’s life
“My husband Charlie he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life,” Erika Kirk said. “On the Cross, our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That man. That young man. I forgive him.”
On Monday morning, Don Lemon trashed the Christian messaging at Charlie Kirk’s memorial, claiming the service was nothing more than a political rally.
Don Lemon also said, “Donald Trump stood on the stage like a man at the center of prophecy. He called Charlie Kirk a martyr…. as if the passing of the man had lit some sort of sacred fire.”
“What we saw in that arena was not simply faith finding public expression, it was religious nationalism on full display,” he added.
