Charlie Kirk memorial: Erika Kirk on husband’s killer, ‘I forgive him’

Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, publicly forgave the man who killed her husband during a memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday. “I forgive him because it is what Christ did,” she told the thousands of memorial attendees. “The answer to hate is not hate.” During her remarks, Kirk reflected on her marriage, her and her husband’s commitment to faith, and the legacy and “incomplete work” he leaves behind. In the wake of Kirk’s assassination on September 10, Erika was unanimously voted to serve as the CEO of Turning Point USA, the conservative organization Charlie Kirk founded in 2012. President Trump, Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were among the speakers at Kirk’s memorial service. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX!
