Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has spoken publicly for the first time since her husband was tragically shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University. In an emotional statement, Erika vowed to carry on his mission — including his upcoming American Comeback campus tour and his popular podcast.
A former Miss Arizona and mother of their two young children, Erika described Charlie as a devoted husband, father, and patriot who “loved his family, President Trump, and JD Vance with everything he had.” Her voice broke as she addressed those behind the attack, saying they’ve “ignited a fire” in her that will not be silenced.
She went on to thank first responders and attendees who tried to save him in his final moments, calling their efforts “heroic.”
“Charlie’s voice will not be buried,” she said. “His mission will live on — through me, through our children, and through every American who refuses to back down.”
