Charlie Kirk’s widow says will never let husband’s ‘legacy’ die as suspect Tyler Robinson arrested: Live updates
The widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has vowed to continue his work through the right-wing movement he founded as she spoke in public for the first time since his assassination.
An emotional Erika Kirk paid tribute to her husband Friday from Phoenix, Arizona, just two days after he was fatally shot.
Kirk’s wife and the mother of his two young children promised to make conservative youth group Turning Point USA “the biggest thing this nation has ever seen.”
“I promise I will never let your legacy die,” Ms Kirk said, addressing her husband.
She revealed “The American Comeback” tour would go on this fall despite Wednesday’s shooting at Utah Valley University.
“Our campus tour this fall will continue,” Erika Kirk said. “There will be even more tours in the years to come.”
Her defiant address comes as suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, is in police custody and is expected to appear virtually in court for the first time Tuesday.
