Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, addressed the public for the first time since her husband’s slaying two days ago, calling him a “martyr” in live-streamed remarks on Friday evening.

She opened her address with thanks to law enforcement, first responders, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

“Mr. President, my husband loved you, and he knew that you loved him too,” she said.

This is the first time Erika Kirk, 36, has spoken publicly since her husband, 31, was shot and killed while speaking in front of a large crowd on campus at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

“I will never, ever have the words to describe the loss that I feel in my heart,” she continued. “I honestly have no idea what any of this means. I know that God does, but I don’t.”

Erika Kirk’s remarks come the same day........
