Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's grieving widow, has broken her silence about the 'evil' conspiracy theories that consumed the internet following the assassination of her late husband. The newly appointed CEO of Turning Point USA was furious and upset at how several personalities make money from the issue, and the last straw for her was the incessant attacks against her family.

Erika breaks her silence with an intensity that matches the gravity of her loss, stating that her patience has reached its limit. The widespread and unchecked circulation of these unfounded rumours has shifted her emotional response from grief to outrage.

Erika Kirk Wants 'Justice' For Late Husband Charlie

Erika Kirk appeared on Fox News' Outnumbered edition on Wednesday, 10 December. Host Harris Faulkner asked her about the conspiracy theories on where Charlie Kirk was buried. Erika did not mince her words and said she wanted 'one thing' because everything is public, and that's to keep Kirk's burial private since they want to keep it 'sacred.'

Erika became emotional as she explained her point, saying she understood that the people 'are trying to find the answer to something that happened that was so evil,' and she reminded them that they were doing the same.

She also seemingly shut down the speculations that she had easily moved on from her husband's death by forgiving the suspect. Erika said she believed in the judicial system, and they have a team working on it.

'I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there,' she said.

It was so intense that Faulkner commented, 'I have to say it: I've never seen you like this.'

'No, I'm very-, this is righteous anger because this is not okay, it's not healthy,' Erika said, before calling the digital onslaught a 'mind virus.'

Planned Memorial for Charlie Kirk

While Erika Kirk intends to keep where her late husband was laid to rest private, she said they had plans to 'build the most beautiful memorial' for Charlie. According to her, the world will witness it and 'it will be spectacular.'

The widow likened their planned memorial to a 'museum.' However, she doubled down on keeping Charlie's burial private for peace of mind.

Apparently, they do not want to share the location with the public because she doesn't want to be 'worried about some secular revolutionary coming and destroying my husband's grave while my daughter is sitting there praying.'

Erika understood that her late husband was a prominent figure with millions of fans. While she was 'grateful' for that, she wanted to keep Charlie's resting place exclusive to the family.

Why Did Erika Break Her Silence?

Charlie Kirk passed away on 10 September when he was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University for a campus event. Following his death, there were various speculations surrounding the incident.

Candace Owens, a friend of Charlie and the former communications director of Turning Point USA, alleged in several episodes of her podcast that the group betrayed its founder. She claimed that TPUSA 'engaged in a cover-up,' implying that they were hiding something, and Erika wasn't happy about this.

Erika said she didn't care what people called her, but she didn't want her family or her TPUSA family subjected to the same scrutiny.

'Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole — whatever,' Erika said. 'But when you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family, when you go after the people that I love, and you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they're in on this? No.'

Various Conspiracy Theories About Charlie Kirk's Death

There are countless conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk's death. The most sensational, however, was the allegation that the murder was an 'inside job' orchestrated by Israel. There were rumours that Jewish donors threatened to pull their funding from TPUSA after his support for Israel seemingly wavered.

There were also claims that the government was involved in the plot. Some even questioned if Charlie was really dead because they didn't think Erika acted like a normal grieving widow. On top of that, his resting place has remained unannounced.

However, these theories are entirely unsubstantiated. Charlie Kirk's death remains a toxic, ongoing political and ideological battleground.
