在政治活动家查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)被枪杀后,白宫决定将五角大楼的9/11纪念仪式搬到院子里,远离已经举行了几十年的沉重仪式的9/11纪念馆。
一名白宫官员说:“在昨天查理·柯克令人心碎的政治暗杀后,决定将仪式移到院子里举行。”。
当被问及是谁做的决定时,这位官员证实是白宫打电话让它搬到院子里的。
当被问及评论时,美国特勤局听从了白宫的意见。
White House moved 9/11 ceremony into Pentagon courtyard after Kirk shooting
In the wake of the shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk, the White House made the decision to move the 9/11 Commemoration Ceremony at the Pentagon into the courtyard -- away from the 9/11 memorial where the somber ceremony has been held for decades.
"After yesterday's heartbreaking political assassination of Charlie Kirk, a decision was made to move the ceremony to the courtyard," a White House official said.
When pressed about who made the decision, the official confirmed that the White House made the call to move it into the courtyard.
U.S. Secret Service deferred to the White House when asked for comment.
