Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk recently shared that her three-year-old daughter asked if she could visit her father, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, in heaven following his assassination.
In a video clip from an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” which will air on Wednesday, Fox News host Jesse Watters asked Erika Kirk if her two children were still asking, “Where’s daddy?” following Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10.
“Yes, my daughter continues to ask, but it’s really sweet because I keep explaining to her a few things,” Erika Kirk told Watters. “And I said, ‘If ever you want to talk to daddy, you just look up to the sky and start talking to him. He can hear you. He’s always in your heart.’ And I told her, I said, ‘You know, daddy is in heaven.’ She goes, ‘You think I could go sometime?’ And I said, ‘Baby, we will all go one day. We will all go one day.'”
During Erika Kirk’s first public address in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, she shared her initial response to her three-year-old daughter asking where her dad was.
Erika Kirk explained that when her daughter asked, “Where’s daddy?” she told her, “Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don’t you worry. He’s on a work trip with Jesus, so he can afford your blueberry budget.”
In another video shared recently on X, formerly Twitter, Kirk’s daughter can be heard shouting, “Charlie Kirk! I see daddy!” after seeing a picture of Charlie Kirk featured outside the headquarters of Turning Point USA. The little girl can also be heard repeatedly chanting his name in the video.
In another video clip released ahead of the full interview release on Fox News, Erika Kirk can be seen crying after Watters showed her a video of her husband talking about Turning Point USA. Kirk explained that it was the “longest video” she had watched of him following his assassination last month.
Asked if she knew that she had signed up for Charlie Kirk’s “mission to save western civilization,” Erika Kirk told Watters, “Well, no, I didn’t sign up for anything. I just married the love of my life.”
