Erika Kirk heart-wrenchingly ‘forgives’ Charlie’s killer before Trump declares ‘hate’ for foes in politics-laden eulogy
Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika ‘forgives’ his killer at memorial service
- A public memorial service for Charlie Kirk took place in Glendale, Arizona, featuring speeches from his widow, Erika Kirk, and Donald Trump.
- Erika Kirk delivered an emotional address, forgiving her husband's killer and advocating for love over hate, which stood in stark contrast to Donald Trump's subsequent speech.
- Donald Trump's speech was politically charged, where he declared his "hate" for opponents and diverged into unrelated topics such as autism and trade tariffs.
- Trump also described Kirk as an “American hero” and he apologised in jest to Kirk and his widow for “disagreeing” with them when it comes to dealing with political foes.
- Charlie Kirk was assassinated on 10 September at Utah Valley University.
