Kirk has previously sat down for a print interview with The New York Times and appeared on “The Charlie Kirk Show” where she discussed her late husband’s legacy. Her husband passed away from a gunshot wound to the neck while he hosted a Turning Point USA event on Utah Valley University’s campus on Sept. 10.
Following the assassination, Turning Point’s board unanimously elected Kirk as the new CEO and chair of the board for the organization on Sept. 18 to honor her husband’s wishes.
During her first public address, Kirk promised that she would never allow her husband’s movement to surrender and that it would only grow more powerful. She also shared that she told her 3-year-old daughter that Kirk was on a business trip with Jesus to afford her “blueberry budget.”
“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God’s merciful love. They should all know this,” Kirk said. “If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world.”
While attending the ceremony for her husband’s Presidential Medal of Freedom award, Kirk shared that the medal was “the recognition of a life lived for defending freedom.” She also said that her daughter wished her father a happy birthday and wanted him to have a “birthday surprise.”
