Erika Kirk's Powerful Response When Asked if She Feels Safe After Charlie Kirk's Assassination

Share This article

Charlie Kirk’s widow isn’t living in fear, even after her husband’s tragic murder, telling Fox News’ Jesse Watters she relies on her faith to navigate uncertainty.

 

Watters recently asked Kirk if she feels safe — and she delivered a powerful response.

“What are they going to threaten me with — going to heaven sooner to be with my husband?” she said in a preview clip of her sit-down interview with Watters. “And I don’t say that to be reckless. I do not. I do not say that because I’m out in the streets like, ‘Here I am, come find me.'”

Kirk continued, “It’s a fearlessness rooted in the understanding that I will have my day and my time whenever that is. When the Lord knows — that I’ve completed my mission.”

She went on to say she’s not living in fear and that her late husband wasn’t either.

“We never lived in fear,” Kirk said. “If we did, we would never get anything done.”

These comments were made by Kirk during her first sit-down interview, airing Wednesday night on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

Charlie Kirk was killed on Sept. 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University.
