Erika Kirk’s first appearance since the assassination of her husband.
A key part of her speech.
Kirk: He showed the ultimate and true covenantal love. I will never, ever have the words to describe the loss that I feel in my heart. I honestly have no idea what any of this means. I know that God does, but I don’t. But Charlie, baby, I know you do too. I know you do. So does our Lord. And our world is filled with evil, but our God, you guys, our God is so good. He’s so incredibly good. And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.Already, I have seen the worldwide outpouring of love for my husband. I’ve heard the testimonies from people my husband inspired to get married, to start families, to seek out a relationship with God. It’s the most important, most important one of all.
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. But they should all know this, 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. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry. To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won’t. I refuse to let that happen. It will not die. All of us will refuse to let that happen. No one will ever forget my husband’s name, and I will make sure of it.
It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever. My husband’s mission will not end, not even for a moment. And one of Charlie’s greatest talents was his ability, this phenomenal ability to choose great people to follow him. He could always find the ones who could handle any setback. And it’s almost like he knew. He just, he could see it in you. Even when you couldn’t see it in yourself, he just knew, he knew you could handle it. You thought you only had 5% left, and he knew you had 15. He knew you were ready to go that extra mile, even when you didn’t. He always challenged people around him to work harder and to be better. He never gave up.
And I love knowing that one of his mottos was never surrender. So, I want to tell you that we’ll never surrender. We never will ever, ever. Our campus tour this fall will continue. There will be even more tours in the years to come. America Fest, here in Phoenix, this December will go on. It will be greater than ever. The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on, and in a world filled with chaos, doubt and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will remain. And it will ring out louder and more clearly than ever, and his wisdom will endure.
God bless this incredibly strong person. The Democrats have no idea just how badly they have miscalculated this time.
