‘Can I Have One Thing?’ Erika Kirk Attacks “Conspiracy Theories”, Defends Turning Point USA After Charlie Kirk Assassination

Go to Article

Erika Kirk, widow of assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, used a new Fox News appearance to denounce conspiracy theories surrounding her husband’s death and burial while pleading for a single “sacred” space to remain private for her family.

Speaking with Fox News host Harris Faulkner, Erika opened by asking, “Can I have one thing? Can my children have one thing?” as she described plans to build “the most beautiful memorial” for her husband at Turning Point USA that will be “for the world to see” and “spectacular,” including a museum-style tribute to Charlie. She said that while much of Kirk’s life and legacy will be public, she wants the location where he is laid to rest kept sacred and protected from potential desecration by “some secular revolutionary” while their daughter prays at his grave.

Erika stressed that Charlie “was Charlie Kirk to the world,” but emphasized, “this is my husband,” saying she wants “one thing left that is sacred” for her family, in-laws, children and parents. Her comments come amid online speculation and claims about where Kirk is buried and whether details of his funeral and burial are being concealed from the public.

Rejecting Claims TPUSA Was ‘In On It’

Addressing a wave of accusations and theories circulating since the assassination, Erika said, “My silence does not mean that I am complacent. My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the hand-picked staff that loved my husband and my husband loved them is somehow in on it.” She repeatedly described herself and the organization as “busy building,” invoking chapter 6 of the book of Nehemiah and the prophet’s refusal to come down from rebuilding the wall to engage with taunts and distractions.

Erika said that whenever she or her team receive a lead or information about the killing, “we send it to the authorities,” promising that “no rock will be unturned” in the search for justice for her husband and family. At the same time, she drew a firm line against those she says are profiting from implicating her “Turning Point USA family” and “Charlie Kirk show family,” accusing them of making “hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode” while suggesting people close to Kirk were “in on this.”

‘Righteous Anger,’ Death Threats and a ‘Mind Virus’

Faulkner noted she had never seen Erika so forceful on air, prompting Erika to describe her reaction as “righteous anger” and to condemn the current environment as “a mind virus.” She said she does not care what people call her personally, but warned, “your words are very powerful, and we are human,” adding that her team is facing “more death threats” and “kidnapping threats” than she has ever seen.

Erika said members of the Turning Point USA staff “watched my husband get murdered” and are “rocked to the core,” asking why they should be forced to “relive that trauma all over again” as they are “dragged through the mud, analyzed, hyper-analyzed” every day. She said she still believes in the judicial system and said her side has “a hell of a team working on this,” insisting that she wants justice “more than anyone else out there,” even as she urges an end to what she calls the “conspiracy collection” targeting her family and Kirk’s colleagues.
