Charlie would help set the tone for the day for so many of us. He loved Jesus Christ,” Gor said at the Sept. 22 ceremony, adding that Charlie “embodied the MAGA spirit.”
“Always fighting for America, never backing down. He dared to argue. Charlie wasn’t content to join the fight, he ran towards it and always did it with a smile,” Gor added at the time.
