Conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk vows to keep her husband’s movement through college tours and podcasts.
“The evil people in charge of my husband’s assassination don’t know what they did. … But they should all know this – if you used to think my husband’s mission was powerful before, you don’t know.”
“You don’t know what you’ve released in the whole country,” she said. “In this world, you don’t know.”
Mr. Kirk, co-founder of the Conservative Organization Turning Point, spoke on Wednesday at the first stop of the “American Comeback Journey” at Utah Valley University in Orem. A 22-year-old Utah resident, Tyler Robinson, was detained.
Mrs. Kirk thanked law enforcement officers, first responders, President Trump, followers and supporters of Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance, who both flew Mr. Kirk’s casket and family to Utah on Thursday.
Mrs. Kirk said: “My husband laid life for me, for our country, for our children.”
She said her husband’s campus tour will continue this fall and will be performed with his radio and podcast.
“In a world full of chaos, doubt and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will remain, it will be louder and clearer than ever before, and his wisdom will last.”
She urges young Americans to participate in the U.S. turning point or start their own movement.
She talked about her children, her 3-year-old daughter asked her where her father was and how she found a way to tell her that he was “working with Jesus.”
On Instagram, Mrs. Kirk posted several photos of herself with his coffin and recorded the photos of the coffin being brought back to the Air Force Second.
“The world is evil,” she wrote in the title.
