Charlie Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. At his memorial service on September 21 at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, his widow, Erika Kirk, made an emotional tribute, signing “I love you” in American Sign Language toward the sky to honor her late husband.
During her speech, Erika forgave the suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, saying it’s what Christ would do. She also announced she will take over as CEO and chairwoman of Turning Point USA, vowing to continue her husband’s mission.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller delivered a fiery speech, declaring Kirk a “martyr” and warning that his death would only strengthen their movement. President Donald Trump and other MAGA figures also paid tribute.
