Charlie Kirk funeral hits capacity as 200K people turn out — as President Trump, widow Erika speak of ‘patriot’

Some 200,000 people turned out to honor Charlie Kirk on Sunday, including President Trump, who called the slain Turning Point USA founder “a patriot whose heart still had so much to give.”

State Farm Stadium, which has a max capacity of 73,000 people, filled up within hours of doors opening at 8 a.m. local time, and organizers began turning away pilgrims who had traveled from across the country to honor the slain MAGA icon.
