Erika Kirk Goes Off On Conspiracy Theories
Appearing on Fox News, Erika unleashed on the conspiracy theorists continuing to share their dark thoughts regarding her late husband and his organization, Turning Point USA.
"Come after me," she raged. "Call me names, I don’t care. Call me what you want. Go down that rabbit hole. Whatever. But when you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family – when you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people I love because somehow they're in on this? No."
Erika's anger was on full display, as Fox News personality Harris Faulkner noted she'd "never seen" the 37-year-old like this.

Erika admitted to having "righteous anger" as this is "not okay," "not healthy," and a "mind virus."
"Yes, I believe in our judicial system. I do. We have a h--- of a team working on this, excuse my French. But this is not okay," she continued.
When asked if she wants to "put these people back in a box where they've been creeping in," Erika insisted she doesn't "care" what box they're in.
"But just know that your words are very powerful," she insisted.
Erika Kirk Details Death and Kidnapping Threats
Erikia Kirk said her team watched Charlie 'get murdered.'
Erika also had her team's back, noting they are "not machines" and "not robots" but are "human."
"We have more death threats on our team and on our side than I have ever seen," she elaborated. "I have kidnapping threats. I have, you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted. And every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do? Relive that trauma all over again?"
"They watched my husband get murdered. I have no idea how I would have reacted if I was there that day. And thank the good lord that I did not have to see that happen. But my team – they are rocked to the core. So why every single day do they have to be dragged through the mud, analyzed, hyper-analyzed? This is a duty to my husband, and it’s an absolute honor, and I will never back down," she went off.
