Turning Point USA
“You wanted to see Charlie immediately and came up. Take us through that,” Watters said.
WATCH: “We walked into that room. He had this smirk on his face,” an emotional Erika Kirk responded. “That smirk to me is that look of, ‘You thought you could stop what I’ve built. You thought that you could end this vision, this movement, this revival; you thought you could do that by murdering me. You got my body, you didn’t get my soul.’”
TPUSA continued Kirk’s college tour following his assassination, with Vice President J.D. Vance and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller News Foundation, among those taking the stage in place of the late conservative activist.
Vance transported Kirk’s body back to his home state of Arizona on Air Force Two ahead of his memorial service.
Kirk founded TPUSA, an organization for conservative college and high school students, in June 2012, according to the group’s website. He also hosted “The Charlie Kirk Show,” a podcast that later became a radio show on the Salem Radio Network, according to his biography on TPUSA’s site.
State Farm Stadium, where the National Football League’s Arizona Cardinals play their home games, filled up rapidly for the Sept. 21 memorial service for Kirk. Organizers of the event used the Desert Diamond Arena, which formerly housed a National Hockey League team, to accommodate attendees who couldn’t fit in the stadium that can hold up to 73,000 people.
