What did Erika Kirk say in her first interview since Charlie’s death? TPUSA CEO's emotional interview sheds light on her healing process

Erika Kirk is opening up for the first time since losing her husband, Charlie Kirk.

In a new Fox News teaser, the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) leader breaks down after watching footage of Charlie, calling it the longest clip she's seen since his death. Upon receiving the tablet, she smiled tearfully as she looked at the screen, commenting:

"Yeah, he looks so good."

In the next clip, Erika Kirk is seen wiping her eyes and apologizing for breaking down live.

"Sorry, guys. Just give me a second. It's the longest video I've watched of him."

Host Jesse Waters then asked the new TPUSA CEO (a conservative youth organization led by Charlie Kirk) about the duties her late husband took when he was still alive.

"Charlie was on a mission to save Western civilization. Did you know that's what you signed up for?"

Erika Kirk chuckled and answered:

"No, I didn't sign up for anything. I just married the love of my life."

Erika Kirk says the world deserves to witness “true evil” amid Tyler Robinson trial: "Why not be transparent?"

The interview comes a month after the conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on Sept. 10, while he was speaking in front of about 3,000 students at Utah Valley University.

At the time, reports stated that the firebrand speaker was brought to Timpanogos Regional Hospital and died there.

President Donald Trump then took to his social media to announce the passing of the activist. On the same day, FBI director Kash Patel confirmed that the suspect was in their custody, who would later be identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

As the trial continues, Erika Kirk told Jesse Waters in the latest Fox News interview that the public deserves to see "what true evil is," which rejects defense efforts to block cameras from the trial of the accused assassin of her husband. She reasoned:

"There were cameras all over my husband when he was murdered. There have been cameras all over my friends and family, mourning. There have been cameras all over me. Analyzing my every move, analyzing my every smile, my every tear. We deserve to have cameras in there.”

The TPUSA leader continued:

“Why not be transparent? There’s nothing to hide. I know there’s not, because I’ve seen what the case is built on. Let everyone see what true evil is. This is something that could impact a generation and generations to come.”

The full episode of Erika Kirk's Fox News interview is scheduled to air on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the conversation follows a hearing this week, where a judge imposed limited restrictions on media coverage of the court proceedings for Tyler Robinson, but did not issue a complete ban on cameras.
