When Erika Kirk took the stage at Turning Point USA’s annual convention in Phoenix, the air was thick with anticipation—and more than a little tension. Just months after the tragic assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, Erika had inherited not just a legacy but a political movement in flux. The gathering was a crucible: debates over the boundaries of conservatism, anxieties about bigotry, and the looming question of what comes after the Trump era. Yet, in the midst of ideological crossfire, Erika Kirk’s presence was unmistakable—a new leader navigating the storm. At the 2025 summit, her endorsement of Vice President...

Turning Point USA President Erika Kirk brought the house down on Sunday when she introduced rapper Nicki Minaj on the stage at AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona.

She started off with Minaj reading out loud some of her “mean tweets” directed at Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) to thunderous applause. “Dear Newscum, we don’t have a problem cleaning up the scum if we have to. Please tread lightly,” Minaj said her current message to “Gavvy-Pooh” would...

Seventy-two-year-old Target employee Jeanie Beeman took to the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmFest in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday to thunderous applause. She even had a hug and a special moment with Erika Kirk, the widow of TPUSA’s slain co-founder Charlie Kirk. RedState brought you the story of out of Chico, California, where Jeanie was verbally harassed by — in the inestimable words of our Rusty Weiss — a “leftist shrew” who swore at her Wednesday, accusing her of being "f**king stupid" and supporting “a racist.” All of this because Jeanie had the temerity to wear a shirt honoring Charlie,...

Erika Kirk @MrsErikaKirk Had a very productive conversation with @RealCandaceO . More to come from both of us. Looking forward to AmFest this week. Time to get back to work. _________________ Candace Owens @RealCandaceO Erika and I had an extremely productive 4 1/2 hour meeting that I think we both feel should have taken place a lot earlier than it did. We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well. Most importantly, we were able to share intel and clarify intent. I will of course have a full rundown...

Rob Reiner’s moving remarks about the killing of Charlie Kirk went viral after the famed director and his wife Michele were found dead Sunday in their Los Angeles home. Both had stab wounds, according to reports. Reiner, who directed such movie hits as “When Harry Met Sally” after notably playing “Meathead” Michael Stivic on TV’s “All in the Family,” appeared on Piers Morgan “Uncensored” in late September following Kirk’s assassination at a Utah rally earlier in that month. Reiner, a liberal political activist, paid more than lip service to the shooting of Kirk, a get-out-the-vote advocate for young conservatives, when...

The Treasury Department sent a letter last week to conservative influencer Erika Kirk with findings that contradict fraud allegations about the finances at Turning Point USA and could help her refute those claims, sources told CBS News. Questions were being raised on social media about the finances at Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, and podcaster Candace Owens and others were urging donors to demand refunds. That led a few of its small-dollar donors to ask for their money back, one of the sources said. Erika Kirk runs the nationwide conservative college student organization co-founded by her late husband, Charlie Kirk....

Erika Kirk is part Lebanese which must explain her strong faith. She was brought up Catholic and her mother who was half Lebanese must have had a strong influence on her!

I don't spend a tremendous amount of time on social media or listening to people's podcasts, but I have noticed over the past few weeks that there are now people who seem pretty convinced that the "official story" about what happened to Charlie Kirk is some kind of artificial narrative designed to conceal a much darker truth. The darker truth, according to people like Candace Owens, is that Kirk was assassinated by some combination of US government and foreign entities for reasons that aren't entirely clear but which may have to do with his feelings about something related to foreign...

The late Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika, revealed in an interview with Fox News' Jesse Watters that her husband "loved Saint Michael." The exclusive interview premiered on November 5. It was Erika's first sit-down discussion since Charlie was killed on Sept. 10, 2025. "When we first started dating," Erika begins, "I asked him, 'Why don't you wear a cross? You say you're a Christian, but you don't wear a cross.' "He said, 'I don't know. I'm not a jewelry guy.' "So for his first birthday present, I got him this cross. Throughout time, I would always add different medals to it....

A higher power will hand down judgment for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, his widow Erika Kirk believes, and she doesn’t want a role in deciding whether he should receive the death penalty if he is convicted. “I do not want this man’s blood on my ledger when I stand before the Lord,” she told Fox News’ Jesse Watters in an interview aired Wednesday evening. “I want the government to decide. It’s Biblical too. Justice will ultimately be served.”
