“The world is evil,” Erika captioned the post. “But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. Не...Не is so good. I will never have the words. Ever.”

She added, “The sound of this widow weeping echos throughout this world like a battle cry. I have no idea what any of this means. But baby I know you do and so does our Lord.”

“They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband’s mission was big now..you have no idea. You. All of you. Will never. Ever.

‘My husband's voice will remain’

Kirk, 31, was allegedly shot dead by Tyler Robinson on September 10 during an appearance at a campus event in Utah. The shooting happened around 12:20 pm local time during a student Q&A at UVU in Orem, per a statement from Utah Valley University (UVU).

Erika later gave a tearful address about Kirk’s death, saying, "My husband's voice will remain."

In a broadcast from Turning Point USA's headquarters in Arizona, Erika told Donald Trump, "Mr President, my husband loved you. And he knew that you loved him too.” She also thanked JD Vance and his wife Usha for accompanying the casket back to Arizona.

Erika added, "But most of all, Charlie loved his children. And he loved me. With all his heart. And he made sure I knew that every day."
