If anyone thought a bullet could stop Charlie Kirk’s mission, they discovered they are very much mistaken. And we are all about to find out just how formidable Erika Kirk is, and will be.
The recently widowed wife of the founder of Turning Point USA delivered a statement to the nation just two days after an assassin cut down her husband. Erika Kirk pledged to take up Charlie’s cause and to use this despicable, cowardly act to amplify his message. She also tearfully recalled the love Charlie had for her, their two children, and for his savior, Jesus Christ.
Via Townhall:
“Two days ago, my husband, Charlie, went to see the face of his Savior and his God,” Erika began. “Now and for all eternity, he will stand at his Savior’s side wearing the glorious crown of a martyr.” ...
“If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea what you just unleashed,” she said. “The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”
“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they’ve done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God’s merciful love. But the movement will not die. I refuse to let that happen. All of us will refuse," she continued.
Charlie, Erika said, wanted to remembered for “his courage and for his faith.” The mainstream media has tried mightily to distract from both and to smear him in every way possible, but they are failing. Erika will not let them succeed, and neither should we.
There really isn’t much to add. Erika says it all, and says it so well, with unbelievable strength and poise along with heartbreaking vulnerability. Pray for her and her new mission, and ours.
