“So something I’m so grateful for is that we have one of the most incredible teams for this case. I would never wish it upon anybody to have to go through what we are going through,” Erika said. “To have seen the autopsy report, to have seen the different evidence portions that have seen.”
“I trust that team,” she added. Erika continued:
When everything happened, my phone died. It became a black hole. I just didn’t turn it on for weeks on end. I’ve intentionally insulated myself because I needed to guard my heart. And I needed to be there for my kids, and I need to be there for Turning Point. And what I realized through all of this is that everyone grieves differently. Everyone is trying to figure out—and I don’t blame them—how does this happen? How does somebody become so radicalized where they can justify this in their own head? We just lost one of the greatest voices of our generation. Why? How? What’s behind it? Everyone is trying to process this. And I respect that.
Charlie Kirk’s widow pleaded with conspiracy theorists for some grace. “But where my heart is just asking for some grace is for the ones who were there that day,” she said. “They have to relive that every single day. He did not die in a car accident. He didn’t die from cancer—he was assassinated.”

“The difference between this and previous assassinations in this country is there was no social media. There [was] no AI. I can tell you how many fake images are out there of all of this,” Erika pointed out. “Again, my only request is that just please pray and consider and think about whatever you put online because it’s going to impact his kids in the future. I don’t want my kids to go on the internet one day when they are older and see things like that.”
Erika reiterated her request for grace. “We are all trying to process this in our own ways, and I appreciate that,” she said. “Just some grace would be nice.”
