Emotional Interview on Fox News
During the broadcast, Jesse Watters played several video clips of Charlie Kirk. Upon watching one of them, Erika struggled to hold back tears and admitted:
“It is the longest video I’ve watched of him (since he passed). Just give me a second.”
Visibly moved, Erika bowed her head and began to cry, prompting Jesse to gently say:
“Take your time.”
The segment briefly cut to black as Erika regained composure before continuing the interview, still visibly emotional.
Remembering Charlie’s Mission
As the interview resumed, Jesse asked about Charlie’s dedication to his cause:
“Charlie was on a mission to save Western civilization. Did you know that's what you signed up for?”
Erika softly replied:
“No, I did not sign up for anything. I just married the love of my life.”
The Day Before the Tragedy
When asked about the day before the shooting, Erika shared that Charlie had spent time at the office and they had plans to have dinner with a close friend:
“He was at the office and we were going to meet for dinner beforehand with a dear friend of ours, who I wanted to just be with us and pray with us before the event.”
Her words painted a picture of the couple’s deep connection and spiritual closeness in their final moments together.
