Widow of Charlie Kirk says her ‘cries will echo around the world like a battle cry’ | Charlie Kirk shooting
Erika Kirk, the widow of right -wing activist and provocative Charlie Kirk, said on Friday evening in a press release that the message and mission of her late husband will be “stronger, more daring, stronger and more than ever” and that her “cries will echo in the world as a cry of battle”.
“I loved knowing that one of his currencies was” never going, “she said about her late husband. “We will never go.”
Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of the youth organization hard Turning Point USA, died after being killed by speaking during an event organized at the University of Utah Valley (UVU) on Wednesday afternoon. The event was the first of the fall tour of the organization of university campuses. Erika Kirk said the campus tour will continue despite the premature death of her husband.
“In a world filled with chaos, doubt and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will remain and she will sound stronger and more clearly than ever and her wisdom will lose,” she said.
Friday evening, Erika Kirk, speaking of the Turning Point USA office of her husband, said that Charlie had been killed because “he preached a message of patriotism, faith and merciful love of God”.
“The criminals responsible for the assassination of my husband have no idea what they have done,” said Erika. “They should all know it: if you thought that my husband’s mission was previously, you have no idea what you have just unleashed across the country and this world.”
In what the organization has described as its address to the nation, Erika Kirk thanked the law enforcement agents and the people involved in the research and arrest of the suspect in the murder of her husband. Tyler Robinson, a 22 -year -old, was arrested on Friday as part of the deadly shooting and is expected to be charged on Tuesday.
She also thanked JD Vance, whom she called the close friend of her husband, and Donald Trump.
“Mr. President, my husband loved you and he knew you too loved him,” said Erika Kirk. “Your friendship was incredible.”
Erika Kirk spoke at length about the Christian values of her husband, claiming that if he would have presented herself to her duties, her goal would have been to “revive the American family” and that he spent a large part of her time encouraging young people to find spouses and to found families. She said that the struggle he had been dedicated was not political but “above all, she is spiritual”.
“The spiritual war is palpable,” she said.
By using a division language and sometimes a sectarian rhetoric, Charlie Kirk played a crucial role in bringing young people, especially men, in the Make America Great Again (Maga) movement. He was known for his inflammatory and discriminatory opinions, believed in any separation between the Church and the State and said that the Democrats “represent all that God hates”. He said that the West was in a “spiritual battle” against “awakening”, Marxism and Islam, and called for a total ban on transgender health care, described immigration from Muslim countries as a “civilizational suicide” and picked up conspiracy theories on the loss of Trump in the 2020 elections.
His wife used his speech to rally young people – by calling high school students and students – to continue his cause. She urged them to start or join the USA turn -point chapters in their schools.
“He wants you to make a difference and you can,” she said. “The movement is not going anywhere and it will not go stronger than when you join it.”
