Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, has issued her first public statement after her husband’s assassination at Utah Valley University.
According to BBC, standing beside the late husband’s chair that he used during podcast tapings at Turning Point USA headquarters on Friday, September 12, Erika Kirk paid a tearful tribute to the right-wing activist.
In the live-streamed video, she thanked first responders for their efforts to save her husband while speaking about his lover for her, their children, the United States, President Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance.
In the broadcast from Arizona that began with moments of silence, the businesswoman said, “Mr President, my husband loved you. And he knew that you loved him too… But most of all, Charlie loved his children. And he loved me. With all his heart. And he made sure I knew that every day.”
Referring to “evil doers”, Erika added, “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. 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."
The former Miss Arizona USA winner vowed that her husband’s voice will “remain” and his mission will not end even for a moment. She also revealed that his podcast will also continue without offering any further details.
For the unversed, President Trump ally Kirk was shot dead on Wednesday, September 10, during an open-air speaking event at the Utah university campus, while his killer, Tyler Robinson, was arrested on Thursday.
