Erika Kirk tearfully rebukes people who celebrated her husbands death: Youre sick

Erika Kirk said those who celebrated her husband Charlie Kirk’s assassination are “sick,” blaming internet culture for the “dehumanized” reactions.The grieving widow, sitting down with CBS News Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss at a town hall on Wednesday, was asked what she would say to people who attempted to “justify” or mocked her husband’s shooting death — which was filmed on phones from multiple angles and widely shared on social media.“You’re sick.He’s a human being,” Kirk said.“You think he deserved that? Tell that to my 3-year-old daughter,” she continued, her eyes welling up with tears.“You wanna watch in high-res the video of my husband being murdered and laugh? And say he deserves it?” she asked.

“There’s something very sick in your soul and I pray that God saves you.”“That is what is so wrong.The internet and this world has dehumanized us,” she said.Kirk, a conservative activist who focused on college students, was shot dead while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah State University in September.His alleged assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is charged with his murder and is scheduled to make his first in-person appearance in court Thursday.Kirk’s full town hall with Weiss airs on Saturday at 8 p.m.
