Wiregrass native turned Trump world insider Cliff Sims walked opposite Vice President JD Vance on the tarmac Thursday night as Charlie Kirk’s flag-draped casket was lifted onto Air Force Two for the flight to Arizona.
Video from the transfer shows Vance accompanying military pallbearers before the plane later arrived in Phoenix to a solemn procession with Kirk’s wife, Erika, and Second Lady Usha Vance present.
Sims posted footage of the moment, saying, “One more walk with our friend, Charlie,” followed by Philippians 3:8.

Sims was a close friend and confidant of Kirk, as he is for Vice President Vance.
Kirk, 31, was tragically killed on Wednesday by an assassin who has since been arrested and identified as being driven by left-wing sympathies.
Vance posted a long, heartfelt message about his friendship with Kirk on Wednesday night, saying he, “genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith.”
