Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, details moment she found out her husband had been shot: “I’m looking at the clouds and the mountains,” she recalled.
Erika Kirk revealed she found out that her late husband, Charlie Kirk, had been shot through a frantic phone call from his assistant, Michael McCoy.
Speaking to the New York Times for her first interview since the death of her husband, Erika said McCoy called her and screamed, “He’s been shot!”
She detailed jumping on a plane immediately to rush to her husband’s side. However, while she was still in the air, she was told he had died.
“I’m looking at the clouds and the mountains,” she recalled. “It was such a gorgeous day, and I was thinking: This is exactly what he last saw.”
Erika chose to look at her husband’s body when she arrived at the hospital, despite a sheriff advising her not to because the bullet had “ravaged” his neck.
“With all due respect, I want to see what they did to my husband,” she told the sheriff.
The mother of two shared that Charlie’s eyes were still semi-open.
“And he had this knowing, Mona Lisa-like half-smile,” Erika told the outlet. “Like he died happy. Like Jesus rescued him. The bullet came, he blinked, and he was in heaven.”
The former Miss Arizona said she was supposed to be with Charlie at the Utah Valley University stop during his American Comeback Tour where he was fatally shot in the neck, but stayed behind to help her mother, who was undergoing treatment at a Phoenix hospital.
Erika noted that she still can’t bring herself to go into her and Charlie’s bedroom and has been “rotating” where she sleeps.
More than 200,000 mourners gathered for Charlie’s funeral in Arizona Sunday, including President Trump, Vice President Vance and Elon Musk.
The conservative commentator died on Sept. 10 after he was shot while on stage at Utah Valley University. He was 31.
Erika, who was named Turning Point USA’s CEO following her husband’s death, rallied his supporters in a YouTube livestream on Sept. 12.
“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done,” she said.
“They should all know this: if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you have just unleashed on this country,” Erika continued, adding that “the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”
