Erika Kirk was criticized for promoting Charlie’s new book in Holiday Message

Two days after Charlie was shot dead on the campus of Utah State University by left-wing ideologue Tyler Robinson, Erika vowed, “This widow’s cries will echo like a battle cry around the world.”

On September 18, the former Miss Arizona USA was named CEO of Turning Point USA, and she has been working non-stop ever since.

After helping organize the sold-out State Farm Stadium memorial for her husband in Glendale, Arizona, Erika hit the road for the “This Is the Turning Point” campus tour, picking up the mantle of discussing conservative topics with students, just as her husband did.

Erika also made guest appearances alongside other top Republicans, including a stop on Megyn Kelly’s tour in November.

‘I didn’t ask for this. It’s obviously a blessing,” Erika said of leading TPUSA during a CBS town hall on Dec. 13. “I consider it a blessing [and] That was a duty to my husband, but I was very happy to be a stay-at-home mom. There is nothing wrong with being a mother.”
