Charlie Kirk’s widow said Friday she will carry forward the mission of Turning Point USA, pledging to expand its influence while keeping its focus on proclaiming Christ and reviving America.

Speaking publicly for the first time since her husband was fatally shot Wednesday at Utah Valley University, Erika Kirk called those responsible for his death evil.

“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done,” she said. “They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith and of God’s merciful love.” “If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea,” she continued. “You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife.

The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.” Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot in the neck with a rifle fired from a rooftop during the event at the university in Orem. The widow of the right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk has spoken for the first time since his death - promising to keep her husband's work alive.
