In one of the two calls that Donald Trump made to Erika Kirk after the murder of her husband, Charlie Kirk, the president of the United States asked what she could do to support her. Erika replied: “My husband loved to talk to you and use it as your advisor for all kinds of things. Could we keep it?” “Of course,” Trump confirmed. Republican and Erika Kirk have met since 2012, when Trump was the owner of the Miss USA contest and she was crowned as Miss Arizona. Now, Erika Kirk will not only maintain a proximity to the president of the United States for her status as a widow of the famous activist of the extreme right, but also for happening to her husband as CEO in Turning Point USA, the millionaire youth organization founded by Kirk and that is increasingly adept. “The crying of this widow will resonate throughout the world as a war cry. They have no idea of the fire that just turned on in this wife“Erika Kirk warned in her first public speech after the attack.
Despite this discursive aggressiveness in her first speech after the death of her husband, this Sunday, during, Erika chose to get away from the violence driven by Donald Trump. While Kirk forgave Tylor Robinson, the accused of murder, because “it is what Christ did” and “is what Charlie would do,” the US president preferred to highlight what differentiated him from the activist. “He didn’t hate his opponents, he wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponents and I don’t want the best for them,” Trump snapped, who also added: “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Erika.” “Now Erika can talk to me and maybe I can convince me that she is not right, but I can’t stand my opponent,” Trump insisted between laughs. And even more: “Charlie is angry. Look at that, he’s angry with me because he was not interested in demonizing anyone,” he said.
In the United States, Republicans, especially the most Trumpists, They trust that Charlie Kirk’s death will give them an even greater impulse. The big question is what Erika Kirk will do, already in charge of Turning Point USA, and if she will be able to keep her husband’s reach. Or to what extent it will let Trump and yours use it. Although for years Erika has defended that the fate and the fundamental role of women must be marrying, having children and becoming a support of man. “I love to submit to Charlie. […] As a woman, you are destined to be the guardian of your home, your husband’s help. […] Become that biblical wife that you must be for your husband and honor the order that God created for marriage“He defended among other things.
Although he is now convinced to occupy a relevant public role, it is not that he no longer has it. Before marrying Charlie, Erika specialized in Political Science at Arizona State University and studied American law at Liberty University. Like her husband, she also had a podcast, a clothing brand and used to accompany, even participate, in some of Turning Point’s events. Like Charlie, Erika Kirk has been able to handle perfectly in a populist, hyperdigital world and immersed in a deep cultural battle in which emotions send. In his case, with religion always in the center of all discussion. “Our battle is a spiritual war,” he said a few days ago. As collected The Washington PostAndrew Kolvet, spokesman for Turning Point, said Erika “was part of all the great decisions” of the organization, yes, “silently” and “behind closed doors”.
from now on, and “emerging from the shadow of her husband, Erika is ready to become a more visible face of the antifminist movement with people like Phyllis Schlafly, Alex Clark, Candace Owens and Riley Gaines“, The last three current activists of the American ultra -right and members of Turning Point. Candace Owens is, in fact, the influencer that spreads the conspiracy theory about the biological sex of the woman of the French president, which has won him a complaint by Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron.
From the murder of Charlie Kirk, his organization is receiving an interest as never before. As announced by its spokesman, in just a few days they have received “more than 60,000 applications to create new subsidiaries in University Campus“, When,” the group currently has 3,500 subsidiaries in university campuses and secondary schools throughout the country. “Turning Point, in addition, is not only an ultra organization that seeks, but is also a collector of monumental funds for the elections. It is, in fact, of which more money raises for the Maga Movement.
When Erika Kirk descended from the presidential plane that carried Charlie Kirk’s body on board, Many compared their image with the image of Jackie KennedyWoman of the murdered President Kennedy. Of course Think, they think very different.
