January 28 Kirkman-Richmond confrontation

On January 28, 2021, moments before the start of the state funeral of Robert Richmond, U.S. President Tom Kirkman and Tyler Richmond, the late president's son, engaged in a confrontation. Richmond refused to allow Kirkman to deliver the eulogy at the service after his interview with Elizabeth Vargas hours earlier revealed that his father intended to remove Kirkman from his Cabinet.
U.S. Representative Kimble Hookstraten delivered a last-minute eulogy in place of Kirkman, which greatly angered him as her favorablility was greater than his.
