EriKa Kirk ‘prayed to God’ that she was pregnant when Charlie was killed
Erika Kirk ‘prayed to God’ she was pregnant when her MAGA star husband Charlie was murdered, devastated widow claims.
RadarOnline.com can reveal. The 37-year-old mother of two’s desire for a large family led to her confession, which took place during a live on-stage interview in Arizona with Megyn Kelly.
Erika said, “I prayed to God that I was pregnant when he was killed.”
Kelly responded, “You told me this in private: How many children did you want to have?”
“We wanted to have four,” Erika replied.
“Oh, wow,” Kelly replied. ‘I thought about that once. Whether it was intended that way and whether we would receive such news.’
Erika continued, “I was like, oh my goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing from this catastrophe.”
Charlie, founder of Turning Point USA and one of the country’s most visible conservative activists, was shot dead in September while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Erika then encouraged young women not to wait to have children.
She said: “When I see young couples, I tell them, ‘Please don’t put it off.’ Especially if you are a young woman. Don’t put it off, you can always have a career, you can always go back to work.
‘You can never just have children again. And they grow so fast and so quickly.
‘I was praying. Both of us. We were just excited to expand our family.”
Kelly told her, “Thank God you got the two. Thank God.”
‘A boy and a girl. I know,” Erika said, adding that one day they will understand their father’s public role.
Kelly said, “One day they’re going to find out they’re Charlie Kirk’s kids and they’re going to know what that means,” drawing applause from the crowd.
Friday’s interview was one of Erika Kirk’s most personal public comments since her husband’s murder.
Police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson for Kirk’s murder. Authorities say he turned himself in shortly after the shooting.
Kirk’s memorial service, held at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, drew President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and a wide range of Republican officials and influencers.
At the service, Erika took the stage to make powerful remarks about his life and legacy, even astonishingly forgiving his alleged killer Robinson in her moving speech.
Kirk “wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life,” Erika said at her husband’s memorial. “I forgive him,” she said as the crowd erupted in applause.
“I forgive him because Christ did. The answer to hate is not hate.”
In another interview this month, Erika labeled people who watch and share her 31-year-old late husband’s murder video online as “sick.”
Regarding the footage of his shooting that continues to be posted on social media, Erika said: “I never saw the video. I will never see it. I never want to see it.
“There are certain things you see in your life that you can never unsee. There are certain things you see in your life that mark your soul forever.
“I don’t want the public murder of my husband to be something I will ever experience.
“For people who really enjoy that, it’s literally sick.”
