Erika Kirk forgives husband’s killer, pledges to grow Turning Point USA in his memory

GLENDALE, Arizona – At a packed memorial for her husband at State Farm Stadium, Erika Kirk said she forgives the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk and pledged to expand Kirk’s work reaching young people.

“My husband Charlie, he wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life,” she said through tears. “On the cross, our savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That man, that young man, I forgive him. I forgive him because it is what Christ did, and it is what Charlie would do.”
