Erika Kirk has reflected on what she misses the most about late husband Charlie Kirk on Fox & Friends a little over a year after his passing. The conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while at a campus speaking event at Utah Valley University.
A 22-year-old Utah resident named Tyler Robinson was arrested and charged with aggravated murder. In September 2026, a Utah state judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence for Robinson to stand trial, where he could face the death penalty.
Following Charlie's death, his wife, Erika, 37, took over as CEO of Turning Point USA. Founded in 2012 by Bill Montgomery and Charlie Kirk, the organization aims to instill Christian and right-wing values in students across the country.
On Fox & Friends, Erika opened up about dealing with her grief, and even gave a shoutout to Charlie Kirk's hot sauce brand. She said what really hits her hard is when she is in the grocery store and sees his hot sauce, and wants to buy it. She added that it is the little things, like his clothes everywhere, that get her, and that people who have experienced loss understand what she is saying.
She added that she often recalls the visual of him coming home to their children, and that to the world he was Charlie Kirk, but to them he was the love of her life and her children's dad. She recounted that he would walk through the door, drop his bags, and say daddy's home, and that he would throw his phone in the junk drawer on Friday night, after which it was just them.
The 37-year-old added that she always tried to make coming home special for her late husband. Viewers were quick to notice how Erika mentioned her husband's hot sauce brand while sharing her grief, with some noting that the brand, named Kirk's Hot Sauce, is described as a premium American hot sauce.
