Erika Kirk paid a beautiful tribute to her husband and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, days after his assassination at a Utah Valley University event. The 36-year-old, new TPUSA CEO, appeared on Friday’s episode of ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’, recalling how her mother told her that Charlie would be his generation’s Rush Limbaugh.

“’You know what, honey?’ she said, ‘God has blessed you with an amazing voice. And you will be the Rush Limbaugh of your generation,’” her mother told Charlie in 2020, according to Erika.

“To see ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ grow from that moment until now has been so humbling and beautiful. And he loved every single day. He read every email,” Kirk added.

At the memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, the widow revealed that she has forgiven Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of shooting her husband.

“Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That young man … I forgive him,” Erika said. “I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.”

On Friday, she said she continues to run TPUSA and the famous podcast. “And so, what I’m getting at here is, ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ is not going anywhere. My husband’s voice will live on. The show will go on. We will have rotating hosts, rotating casts, rotating people coming on.”

Erika has been posting about Charlie Kirk’s conservative movement and their kids since his death. Now, her post on pregnancy, welcoming her son, has resurfaced.

Last year, Erika posted about her pregnancy on social media. She and Charlie Kirk could be seen talking about their son in the video.

“They kept saying, “your heart expands”…I didn’t believe them…until it did. And now with my heart over-pouring, I see and feel, in real time, “that a mother is a son’s first true love, and a son is a mother’s last true love”… Welcome to the world our precious son. Daddy and I love you so much,” the caption read.
