‘I married the love of my life’: Erika Kirk weeps while watching video of late husband
Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, spoke with Fox News host Jesse Watters on *Jesse Watters Primetime* at Turning Point USA headquarters, where she broke down while watching a video of her late husband.
“Sorry guys, just give me a second,” she said tearfully. “This is the longest video I’ve watched of him, just give me a second.”
Watters noted that Charlie Kirk was on a mission to save Western civilization and asked Erika whether she signed up for that.
The 36-year-old responded, saying that had nothing to do with her decision to marry him. “I didn’t sign up for anything, I just married the love of my life,” she told Fox News.
Erika Kirk was named Turning Point USA CEO just days after her husband’s assassination, taking over for Charlie Kirk, who founded the conservative activist organization in 2012.
The couple married in 2021 and welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2022, followed by a son in 2024.
Erika Kirk has since doubled down on fighting for Charlie’s legacy, stating, “I’m not afraid.”
