“Give me back my son, he’s only 31” 😭 — A grieving father collapsed at the memorial for Charlie Kirk outside Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix.Standing right beside him was Pete Hegseth, gently placing a hand on his shoulder, trying to offer strength. Pete was not only a fellow conservative voice, but also one of Charlie Kirk’s closest friends.He often described Charlie as a “younger brother” — someone who stood with him on the frontlines of the cultural fight, defending the values they both believed in. Now, with his friend gone, Pete has become both a pillar for the Kirk family and a living witness to a brotherhood forged through shared battles.The image of Pete Hegseth quietly comforting Charlie’s father, as the crowd laid flowers and lit candles, left many in tears. The video spread rapidly across social media, igniting an outpouring of grief and solidarity from people across the nation.https://sportnewss.livextop.com/posts/back-son-nation-weeps-pete-hegseth-comforts-charlie-father-crowd-laid-flowers-lit-candles-left-tears-pinky-nhan123
