Erika Kirk Tells Megyn Kelly She Hoped for Miracle After Husband’s Death [WATCH]

Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk said she had been hoping for what she described as a miracle in the days surrounding the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, in September, as reported by The Independent Journal Review.

Kirk discussed the period following the assassination during an interview with Megyn Kelly on Friday in Glendale, Arizona. A preview of the exchange was posted Sunday night on “The Megyn Kelly Show” X account.

Kelly began the conversation by referencing a private discussion between them. “You told me this in private — How many kids did you want to have?” she asked.

“We wanted to have four,” Kirk said.

“And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered.”

Kelly replied, “Oh, wow. I thought of that once. Whether it was meant to be or whether we’d get news like that.”

“I know,” Kirk said. “I was like, oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe. So, now when I see young couples, I tell them, ‘Please, don’t put it off.’ Especially if you’re a young woman. Don’t put it off, you can always have a career, you can always, you know, go back to work. You can never just go back to having children. And they grow so fast and so quickly, but I just, I was praying. Both of us were. We were just excited to just expand our family.”

Kelly responded, “Thank God you have the two, Thank God.”

“A boy and girl. I know,” Kirk said.

Kelly added, “One day, they’ll find out. Right now they’re just little loves. But one day they’ll find out that they’re Charlie Kirk’s children and they’ll know what that means.”
