Erika Kirk became emotional while talking about her late husband, Charlie Kirk, on Fox News. She reflected on their relationship and his mission before his assassination on September 10.
During the November 5 interview, Erika spoke about the early days of their relationship and how she supported Charlie's growing career, particularly with his work at Turning Point USA. Jesse Watters showed her several video clips of Charlie.
“It is the longest video I’ve watched of him (since he passed). Just give me a second,”
Erika said as she bowed her head and began to weep. Jesse gently comforted her, saying, “Take your time.” Fox News then faded to black as she struggled to control her tears. When Erika returned, she appeared more composed but still teary-eyed.
Jesse asked, “Charlie was on a mission to save Western civilization. Did you know that's what you signed up for?”
“No, I did not sign up for anything. I just married the love of my life,” Erika replied.
When asked about the day before the shooting, Erika said,
“He was at the office and we were going to meet for dinner beforehand with a dear friend of ours, who I wanted to just be with us and pray with us before the event.”
Erika's interview conveyed deep personal loss alongside a tribute to Charlie Kirk's dedication.
