Erika Kirk
I’m All in on the 2nd Amendment!
Published
Erika Kirk is still standing by the 2nd Amendment, even after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was shot to death in September.
Check out her interview on stage at Wednesday’s The New York Times’ DealBook Conference — she says she fully stands behind the right to bear arms, explaining America doesn’t have a gun problem, but a people problem.
She notes … “What I’m afraid of is that we are living in a day and age where they think violence is the solution to them not wanting to hear a different point of view. That’s not a gun problem, that’s a human — deeply human — problem.”
As you know, Charlie was assassinated during a Turning Point USA tour stop at Utah Valley University in Utah on September 10. He was shot in the neck while speaking about gun violence in America.
His alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, has been charged with aggravated murder and awaits his trial from behind bars.
Erika, meanwhile, has taken over Charlie’s role in his organization, now serving as its CEO and chair of the board, and is carrying on his conservative messages and belief that people can have respectful conversations, even with opposing views.
