Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically shot during an event in Utah on September 10. His death shocked political circles and left behind his wife Erika and their two children.
At a massive memorial with over 100,000 attendees, including Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk, Erika gave a heartfelt tribute. She shared that Charlie passed peacefully, with a soft smile, and forgave his killer, saying it’s what Charlie would have wanted.
In her speech, Erika revealed a personal secret: she had noticed a single grey hair on Charlie’s head but never told him. “Now he knows,” she said tearfully. She has since stepped in as CEO of Turning Point USA, determined to honor his faith and mission.
