Erika Kirk gets emotional after hearing Charlie Kirk's voice

According to a video shared by Charlie’s former Chief of Staff, Mikey McCoy, on X, the newly appointed CEO of Turning Point USA was captured backstage in tears as she prepared to address the audience at a University of Mississippi event on Wednesday evening, as reported by The New York Post.

Erika wore a white T-shirt with the word Freedom, similar to what her late husband had on the day he was killed at Utah Valley University on September 10. She wiped away tears with a tissue as she made her way to the stage, while a recording of Charlie praising her as “the best mom in the world” played in the background.

Erika, alongside Vice President JD Vance, visited the University of Mississippi for an event honoring the late conservative activist. The gathering kicked off the This Is The Turning Point campus tour led by Charlie's widow.
