Erika Kirk has shared a personal detail she kept from her late husband, Charlie Kirk, revealing it while honoring him at a memorial held two weeks after his assassination. Kirk, 31, was shot on September 10 during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University, a killing that shocked political circles and devastated his family, friends, and supporters.
At State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, a large public memorial drew an enormous crowd and high-profile attendees, including Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk. Yet the most moving moment belonged to Erika, who spoke for roughly half an hour, often through tears, addressing not only her loss but also the faith that, she said, defined her husband’s life.
