Erika Kirk, the legacy of conservative activists Charlie Kirk,
Her husband made her first public remarks in the deadly two days after her husband spoke at Utah Valley University.
Standing next to her husband’s empty studio chair, holding the cross necklace while speaking, he said on the podium: “May Charlie be received into the merciful weapon of our loving Savior Jesus.”
Thousands of people have been waiting for letters from Erika, not only Charlie’s lifelong companion, but also the mother of their two little children and their own leader.
She first thanks first responders and supporters of her family, especially President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. She declared: “My husband loves you, Mr. President.”
From that stage, Erika’s private belief in Charlie shares what’s most important ever. “Charlie always said that if he had run for office … his first priority is to revive the American family,” the mother of two said.
She also points to one of Charlie’s life-guiding scriptures. “One of Charles’ favorite biblical verses is Ephesians 5:25: ‘Husband, love your wife, because Christ loves the church and gave up on himself for her.'”
Erika said that the scriptures are not just the words of her husband, but reflect his life and sacrifice. “My husband laid life for me, for our country, for our children. He showed ultimate and true covenant love.”
Even in mourning, Erika emphasized her faith. “Our world is full of evil. But our God is so kind. Great.”
She refused to strode towards her. “The widow’s cry will echo around the world like the cry of a fight. For everyone who listens to this evening in the United States, the movement my husband built will not die. I will not refuse to let that happen. It will become stronger. Bold. Loud, louder, bigger, bigger than ever before.”
She announced that TPUSA’s campus trip and AmericaFest will continue and grow. “In the coming years, there will be more travel,” she said. “Radio and podcasts, he is proud to be going on.”
Erika admits she has not slept since her late husband died, and despite this, it has appeared in her two children. “When I got home last night, our daughter Gigi hit my arms…she asked, ‘Where is Dad?’ I told her: “He is working with Jesus to make your blueberry budget. ”
She promised, “I will be the biggest thing America has ever seen.”
“God bless you all, God bless America.”
Erika Kirk, formerly Erika Frantzve, married Charlie in May 2021. She is Miss Arizona, a real estate professional, nonprofit founder, and host of the podcast Rise at Noon.
Charlie Kirk, 31, is co-founder and CEO of USA (TPUSA).
