Erika Kirk introduced Vice President JD Vance at the University of Mississippi during her first campus event since Charlie Kirk’s murder, sharing personal memories.
Erika Kirk walked onto the stage at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) Wednesday night to a packed house for her first Turning Point USA campus appearance since the murder of her husband, Charlie Kirk.
« It’s hard not to cry after watching », she said of the video tribute that played before she took the microphone. « I haven’t seen that. that video since that day happened. »
« Being on campus right now for me is a spiritual reclaiming of territory », she said. « There is a lot of symbolism in today. It’s Wednesday, seven weeks. And the more that I am coming to grips with the permanency of this nightmare, the more that I am starting to realize and witness that the enemy, he doesn’t want you. »
He wants your territory. He wants your influence. And I could just hear Charlie in my heart. I could hear him say, ‘Go reclaim that territory, babe. Go — the battles that God’s love conquers.’ And that’s why I’m here today », she added.
Erika thanked the students who filled the arena, many wearing ‘Freedom’ T-shirts like the one she wore at the podium.
