Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk delivered an emotional speech at her husband’s memorial service on Sunday, telling tens of thousands of people gathered at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona that she forgives the man accused of killing him. The conservative activist was shot and killed on September 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Utah.
Erika Kirk was named the new CEO of Turning Point USA, the organization her late husband founded, just days before the memorial service. She spoke about continuing his work and expanding the organization’s reach to honor his legacy. The memorial drew around 95,000 people, with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance among the speakers.
