At a memorial attended by over 100,000 people, Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, revealed a secret she hadn’t shared with her husband before his assassination. Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while addressing a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Erika told the crowd how, after the shooting, she saw Charlie’s body with a faint but peaceful smile, which she took as a sign of divine mercy and that he “didn’t suffer.” She described the moment as both heart-wrenching and comforting.
In a poignant moment, Erika admitted that she had never told Charlie about a single grey hair she discovered on his head post-mortem. Now, she shared it publicly, expressing sorrow and love.
She also spoke about forgiving the shooter, Tyler Robinson, reflecting Charlie’s compassion and wishing to save even those who wronged him. Erika’s heartfelt speech struck a chord with attendees and highlighted her grace under unimaginable grief.
