Erika Kirk has appeared on the cover of a new Turning Point USA fundraising mailer in the United States that critics allege is using the death of her husband, conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to pressure mostly elderly supporters into handing over savings and estate money. The mail piece, which promotes TPUSA's so-called 'Legacy Society,' has been making rounds online recently, with opponents of the group accusing it of exploiting grief to solicit cash.
The news came after weeks of mounting anger in some right-wing and independent media circles over how Charlie Kirk's death has been handled by Turning Point USA. Commentators who are hostile to the organisation claim TPUSA has simultaneously leaned on his image as a martyr while, they say, issuing legal threats to journalists and online personalities probing the circumstances around his killing.
