Conservatives from around the country flocked to Arizona on
Sunday to memorialize the activist Charlie Kirk. The service
included leaders from the highest levels of the U.S. government,
including Vice President JD Vance and President Trump.

Two clear strands emerged during the memorial addresses: a
message of Christian unity, and a vow to fight political enemies
on the left.

Robert Draper, who covers domestic politics for The Times,
explains how the collision of those two messages makes this a
crucial moment for the MAGA movement.

Guest: Robert Draper, a Washington, D.C.-based
journalist for The New York Times, who writes about domestic
politics.

Background reading:

Thousands flocked to Phoenix for Charlie Kirk’s memorial
service.

President Trump remembered Mr. Kirk as a martyr while
attacking political opponents.
