It’s been a month since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University. His widow, Erika Kirk, has taken over his non-profit organization, Talking Point USA. On Tuesday, she was at the White House as Charlie received the Medal of Freedom posthumously from President Trump. Erika held a tearjerking speech – and shared their daughter’s heartbreaking birthday message to her late dad.
Charlie Kirk’s death on September 10 shocked the US. The conservative political activist’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, had tens of thousands of people attending. He is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two children.
His widow has been very outspoken about her feelings following the horrifying event, and even took over as CEO of Charlie’s non-profit organization, Turning Point USA.
For some weeks, Erika Kirk has left the spotlight, but returned on Tuesday in the White House’s Rose Garden as President Donald Trump posthumously gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Kirk.
