Less than two months have passed since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University. For most widows, this would still be a time of deep grief and staying out of the public eye. Erika Kirk has done the opposite, jumping straight into running Turning Point USA and has been showing up at big public events.
The reaction to Charlie’s death was massive. Turning Point USA said over 50,000 people wanted to join or start chapters within just one week of the shooting. Erika wasted no time in promising to grow the organization and has been traveling to college campuses and speaking at events, picking up right where Charlie left off.
