Erika Kirk says TPUSA team is ‘exhausted’ by conspiracies surrounding Charlie Kirk’s death

Erika Kirk spoke directly to people spreading conspiracy theories about her husband’s death, accusing them of taking advantage of her personal tragedy to make money, during her appearance on the Fox News show 'Outnumbered'.

While she did not name Owens or mention her CBS town hall excerpts, she made her message clear, "When you go after the people that I love you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they're in on this, no. No." 

She continued, "I'm not just gonna go cry and be in fetal position. This is a duty to my husband, and it's an absolute honor. And I will never back down." She warned, "My message to them is to stop. Stop. This is a mind virus. Yes, I believe in our judicial system, I do. We have a hell of a team working on this, excuse my French, but this is not okay."

She emphasized, "Your words are very powerful and we are human. My team are not machines and they're not robots. They are human. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have, you name it, we have it." 

Erika added, referring to her TPUSA team, “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.”

“My team, they are rocked to the core. So why every single day do they have to be dragged through the mud?” Erika asked.
