MSNBC upset conservative commentators and MAGA diehards on Tuesday (October 14) for being the only major news network not to air Charlie Kirk‘s posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony at the White House.
The ceremony took place on Tuesday afternoon, in which President Donald Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the late conservative activist, who was assassinated last month during his college campus speaking tour at Utah Valley University.
