Following the assassination, Charlie Kirk’s wife posted some devastating photos, including those taken from his coffin.
Following her husband’s unexpected death, Erika Kirk has experienced a turbulent few days, to put it mildly.
Speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, September 10, the 31-year-old conservative commentator and right-wing activist was shot once in the neck, resulting in his death.
The FBI announced two days later that Tyler Robinson, 22, had been taken into custody as a suspected suspect in the shooting.
Kirk’s wife and two small children—a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old boy—are left behind.
The widow addressed the tragedy and praised first responders, Kirk’s team, and President Donald Trump during a livestream on his show on Friday, September 12, after the arrest.
The 36-year-old has now paid heartfelt homage to her late spouse on Instagram with a collection of pictures and videos that feature private moments beside his open coffin.
Erika was observed kissing Kirk’s hands and lowering her head over the coffin.
The words ‘I love you’ were heard multiple times through tears, followed by ‘God bless you.’
Kirk’s casket is seen being brought through a hallway and loaded into a hearse in another video.
The following video shows her sobbing before boarding the Air Force Two jet that was taking Kirk back to Phoenix. She then shared film of an American flag flying in the wind, most likely as the car was traveling to Utah airport.
Erika was seen leaning on Ms. Vance as military troops paid their respects to the music of bagpipes during the trip, which was joined by Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance.
“The world is evil,” she stated in the caption, drawing on her Evangelical Christian convictions.
“But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. Нe…Не is so good. I will never have the words. Ever.”
She added, “The sound of this widow weeping echos throughout this world like a battle cry.”
“I have no idea what any of this means. But baby I know you do and so does our Lord.”
“They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband’s mission was big now..you have no idea.”
Erika pledged in her video statement to continue her husband’s work on his podcast, radio show, and university tour.
She doubled-down on her vow in her Instagram post, writing, “You. All of you. Will never. Ever. Forget my husband @charliekirk1776 I’ll make sure of it.”
To her husband, she added: “Rest in the arms of our Lord baby as he blankets you with the words I know your heart always strived to hear, ‘well done My good and faithful servant.’”
