Charlie Kirk’s heartbroken widow said her husband gave his life for his country and family in an emotional speech just two days after the conservative activist was publicly assassinated during an outdoor speaking event in Utah.
A teary-eyed Erika Frantzve Kirk, wife of the slain founder of Turning Point USA, addressed mourners for the first time Friday night in Arizona, where her husband will be buried.
“My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children,” Erika said behind a podium with a sign of her late husband’s face, saying “May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior.”
