Ever since right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September, his widow, Erika Kirk, has become a major topic of discussion, with her behavior closely scrutinized, and often mocked, by millions of strangers.
Charlie was debating students at Utah Valley University for a Turning Point USA event when a bullet hit his neck on September 10. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Erika, who shared two children with Charlie, has made several public appearances since the family tragedy, pledging to continue her husband’s work as the new CEO of Turning Point.
