Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk condemned those who celebrated or excused her husband Charlie Kirk’s assassination, saying their reaction exposed something “very sick.”
Charlie Kirk died in September at age 31 after being shot at a Utah Valley University speaking event. In an interview with CBS News town hall set to air Saturday, Erika Kirk delivered a stark message to those who sought to justify the assassination of her late husband.
“You’re sick. He’s a human being. You think he deserved that? Tell that to my three-year-old daughter,” Erika told CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. “You want to watch in high-res the video of my husband being murdered and laugh and say he deserves it? There’s something very sick in your soul, and I pray that God saves you. I pray because that is what is so wrong. The internet in this world has dehumanized us.”
WATCH:
People online and on at least one campus encountered, celebrated, or defended Kirk’s assassination, including a student at Hamline University who was caught on video confronting Turning Point USA members and claiming he was glad the Turning Point USA Founder was shot.
Erika Kirk blasted conspiracy theorists on Wednesday for spreading false claims about her husband’s assassination, saying the fabrications have deepened her family’s trauma.
“Everything was public. We will be building the most beautiful memorial for my husband at Turning Point USA, and it will be for the world to see, and it will be spectacular, and it will have a basically museum-style for our Charlie, for my Charlie,” she said. “But can I have one thing? Can my babies have one thing where we hold it sacred, where my husband is laid to rest, where I don’t have to be worried about some secular revolutionary coming and destroying my husband’s grave while my daughter is sitting there praying? One thing.”
