PHOENIX — Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, spoke to the public for the first time since her husband was killed.
In an address to the nation from Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, Erika Kirk said she refuses to let the movement her husband started die and believes it will only grow stronger.
“If you thought my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea what you have just unleashed across this entire country,” she said.
Charlie Kirk, 31, was speaking at a TPUSA event on the campus of Utah Valley University on Wednesday when he was assassinated. The FBI said on Friday that they took a suspect into custody in connection to the shooting, identified as 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson.
Erika Kirk said Charlie was a great person
