Charlie Kirk's Widow Shares Emotional Moment With Husband at Open Casket



Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, has shared deeply emotional photos and videos from her husband’s funeral on Instagram.

Charlie Kirk, just 31 years old and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday while speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. His assassination has sparked shock, condemnation, and renewed debate across the United States about the rise of political violence and the toxic state of modern political discourse.

On Friday, Erika Kirk posted a series of 12 photographs and video clips. Several of them showed her standing beside her husband’s open casket, dressed in black, overcome with grief. In one emotional video, Erika can be heard sobbing, holding her husband’s hand, and saying repeatedly, “I love you.”

Other images included Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, alongside Erika during the ceremony, and solemn moments when Charlie Kirk’s casket was carried onto an aircraft while a bagpiper played in the background.

Erika and Charlie Kirk share two young children: a daughter born in August 2022 and a son born in May 2024.

During a live broadcast on Turning Point USA’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Erika described Charlie as “the perfect husband and the perfect father.”

On Instagram, she also wrote a powerful message of faith and resilience:


“The world is evil. But our Savior, our Lord, our God—He is so good. I have no idea what this all means. But I know you do, baby, and so does our Lord. They will never forget you, Charlie. I’ll make sure of it.”

Her words resonated with thousands, with supporters calling her bravery and strength “extraordinary.”


Prominent figures also spoke out:


Riley Gaines, a conservative activist, said on X: “How could anyone listen to Erika Kirk’s compassion and still celebrate such a cold-blooded murder?”

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) praised Erika’s faith, saying: “The bravery, love, and faith she showed tonight were extraordinary. We mourn Charlie but stand with Erika, the Kirk family, and Turning Point in carrying forward his legacy.”

President Donald Trump confirmed he has spoken with Erika, noting that she intends to keep Turning Point USA active in honor of her late husband. Trump also announced he plans to attend Kirk’s funeral in Arizona next weekend.

Meanwhile, police have arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the shooting.

This tragedy has reignited conversations about political extremism, security at public events, and the urgent need to lower the temperature of America’s political climate.

King Charles's blunt five-word response after Trump attempts to give him new nickname

U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines once again during his recent visit to the United Kingdom, where he spent time with King Charles III at Windsor Castle. The trip, which marked Trump’s second official state visit to Britain, included a series of ceremonial events, private conversations, and speeches. But what caught the public’s attention most was a light-hearted yet awkward exchange between Trump and King Charles that revolved around nicknames and royal history. According to reports, Trump appeared fascinated by the historic Windsor Castle, one of the oldest and most iconic royal residences in Europe. The castle, which has stood for nearly a thousand years, is deeply tied to the monarchy’s history. When aides explained to Trump that parts of the structure dated back as far as the year 990, the former president seemed surprised and amused. “I’m trying to figure that one out. 990? So it’s really old,” he reportedly remarked, expressing amazement at its longevity. While the ar...

MAGA World in Panic After Revelation About Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Assassin’s Family

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination, the political narrative that Republicans rushed to push has collapsed almost overnight. Initially, MAGA influencers and even Donald Trump himself blamed Democrats and the “radical left.” Donald Trump Jr. went so far as to promote false claims that the shooter was transgender. But new reports reveal a very different reality. According to an interview with The Daily Mail, Debbie Robinson, the grandmother of suspect Tyler Robinson, confirmed that his family is deeply Republican. “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat,” she explained, adding that Tyler himself was quiet and never discussed politics with her. Further reporting from The Daily Beast shows that both of Robinson’s parents are registered Republicans with hunting licenses—very much a picture of a traditional conservative household. So who was Tyler Robinson? The 22-year-old fro...

Melania Trump's 'disgust' at Donald during White House dinner as she 'wants to stab him'

A recent high-profile White House dinner hosted by President Donald Trump for America’s leading tech executives has gone viral though not just for the guest list. Instead, it was First Lady Melania Trump’s facial expressions that drew the internet’s attention. Seated beside her husband during the event, Melania appeared noticeably unamused as President Trump and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates discussed vaccines and gene editing. Clips of her reactions quickly spread online, with many social media users suggesting her body language revealed tension or even contempt. Comments ranged from playful to cutting. One user wrote, “Melania is not buying it,” while another joked that she looked like she wanted to “stab him in the eye with a fork but still keep that perfect smile.” Others shared memes comparing her expression to how critics view Trump’s praise of controversial figures. The dinner itself was significant, bringing together influential figures such as Gates, Apple’s Tim Cook, Go...

Melania Trump wows in yellow gown but 'inappropriate' detail draws criticism

During the state banquet at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, September 17, Melania Trump became the center of attention not just for her presence, but for her fashion choice. The former First Lady wore a striking yellow Carolina Herrera gown, accentuated with a pink belt, turquoise earrings, and soft waves in her hair. While the look was undeniably glamorous, the off-the-shoulder cut sparked mixed reactions. Some royal watchers pointed out that members of the Royal Family traditionally opt for modest, conservative outfits at state banquets. For instance, Kate Middleton wore a full-length hand-embroidered gold lace coat by Phillipa Lepley over a silk gown, while Queen Camilla chose a royal blue Fiona Clare dress paired with a sapphire tiara and diamond necklace. Compared to these classic and formal looks, Melania’s shoulder-revealing gown stood out sharply. Fashion etiquette experts often note that royal occasions carry strict dress codes. Shoulders covered, hems below the knee, and ove...

Mary Trump Exposes Donald Trump’s Disturbing Link to Jeffrey Epstein’s Birthday Book

  Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has once again ignited controversy by speaking out about her uncle’s involvement in the notorious Jeffrey Epstein “birthday book” following its public release. Coming from a family member, her words carry particular weight, and her assertion leaves little room for doubt: Donald Trump’s connection to Epstein is deeply troubling. On X, Mary Trump wrote, “That’s definitely his signature. Just saying,” referring to the doodle and message allegedly penned by Trump for a 50th birthday book that Ghislaine Maxwell compiled for Epstein. This book was handed over to the House Oversight Committee after Republican Chair James Comer issued a subpoena to Epstein’s estate last month. Trump’s contribution to the book has raised eyebrows for its unsettling content. The doodle included a suggestive illustration and a message implying that Epstein and Trump shared “things in common,” along with the cryptic remark that “enigmas never age” and references to “wonde...

The trip itself was historic Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be granted two state visits to the U.K., his first having taken place in 2019 when Queen Elizabeth II was on the throne and Theresa May was Prime Minister.

Donald Trump's health 'worsens by the day' as president accused of fresh symptoms

Is Donald Trump showing new signs of dementia after his latest remarks on Russia and NATO? Donald Trump has once again sparked controversy over his health after appearing to backtrack on his longstanding promise to impose fresh sanctions on Russia. For months, the president has insisted he would take strong action against Moscow if it refused to negotiate a peace deal with Ukraine. But over the weekend, he shifted his stance, saying sanctions would only happen if NATO allies stopped buying Russian oil and agreed to impose their own penalties. This sudden change triggered a wave of speculation about Trump’s mental fitness. Critics argue his comments reveal signs of confusion and possible cognitive decline, with some claiming his symptoms “worsen by the day.” Observers have also pointed to other concerns raised in recent weeks, including a drooped face during appearances, swelling in his ankles, and makeup reportedly covering marks on his hands. On Truth Social, Trump posted a length...

King Charles's 'discomfort' at Donald Trump's 10-word statement revealed by lip reader

King Charles and former U.S. President Donald Trump were seen bidding farewell after Trump’s three-day state visit to the United Kingdom. The meeting took place at Windsor Castle, where the King and Queen Camilla hosted the president before he continued his visit to the Prime Minister’s countryside residence, Chequers. While their parting words were exchanged just beyond the reach of microphones, a lip reader was able to offer an interpretation of the brief but intriguing conversation. According to expert Nicola Hickling, Trump appeared to say to King Charles, “He’s quite charming and has shown me a great deal.” It is not entirely clear who Trump was referring to in that remark. The lip reader observed that King Charles looked slightly uneasy after this statement. His tightened lips and subtle body language suggested discomfort, though he politely responded with a handshake. Moments later, Trump reportedly turned toward the cameras, stating: “Thank you very much, everyone. He’s a g...

Donald Trump's brutal two-word insult to Meghan Markle as bitter feud laid bare

Donald Trump is set to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla during his two-day state visit to the UK. The former US President, who arrived with his wife Melania, has once again reignited his long-running feud with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Trump, now 79, has openly criticized Meghan in the past, and his recent remarks show that the tensions are far from over. Earlier this year, he commented on Harry’s immigration status after The Heritage Foundation pushed for the release of the Duke of Sussex’s US visa application, citing Harry’s own past admissions about drug use. While some called on Trump to push for Harry’s deportation, he brushed it off, saying: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife… she’s terrible.” This “two-word insult” towards Meghan quickly went viral, drawing renewed attention to their bitter history. Meghan has also been outspoken about Trump in the past. Back in 2016, before marrying Harry, she described him as “divisive and misogynistic.” ...
