Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who represents South Carolina’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, has issued a statement following President Donald Trump’s decision to award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Mace stated, “The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award in the United States, and there is no one more deserving than Charlie Kirk.
“Charlie dedicated his life to the values making America strong: faith, freedom, and courage. He gave a generation of young people the confidence to live their beliefs out loud and never apologize for standing up for what is right. He inspired millions, led countless souls to Christ, and never flinched in his defense of free speech and the First Amendment.
“This award is more than a recognition of Charlie’s work. It is a symbol of the movement he built and the values he stood for. His legacy lives on in every young American inspired by his faith and love of freedom. Happy first Heavenly birthday, Charlie Kirk.”
