In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination earlier this month in Utah, his widow Erika Kirk has stepped into public view with all the force of tragedy and symbolism.
During a memorial on September 21, she and Donald Trump shared the stage, with the photo of the two sharing a hug spreading across social media, especially in circles that oppose the current President.
Some netizens are now pointing out the history that links Erika to Donald Trump, years before she ever met her husband, when she won the 2012 Miss Arizona USA beauty pageant.
