“I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. I will be there to honor him.”

“I love you. God bless you.”
During a livestream at Turning Point USA’s office in Phoenix, Erika remembered her husband as a man who loved America, nature, the Chicago Cubs, and most of all, his family.
“He loved me with all his heart. And he made sure I knew that every day.”
Vows to Continue His Legacy
Erika also delivered a powerful message to those responsible for his death.
“If you thought my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”
