Erika Kirk Speaks Out After Husband Charlie’s Assassination

The widow of conservative influencer and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has responded publicly following her husband’s horrendous assassination on a Utah university campus earlier this week.

In a video posted online, Erika Kirk directly addressed the “evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination,” noting that they have “unleashed” a movement that is now destined to become even more powerful than it already was.

Erika Kirk opened by thanking President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, medical first responders in Orem, and law enforcement “who worked tirelessly to capture my husband’s assassin,” pointedly avoiding any mention of the suspect, Tyler Robinson, by name.

She then directed her remarks toward what she called the nation’s “evildoers.”

“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God’s merciful love,” Erika said. “They should all know this: If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world.

“You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry,” she added, vowing that the movement begun by her husband will only intensify.

“To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won’t. I refuse to let that happen. It will not die. All of us will refuse to let that happen,” she said. “No one will ever forget my husband’s name, and I will make sure of it. It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever. My husband’s mission will not end. Not even for a moment.”
