Erika Kirk broke down in tears during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Tuesday, December 9, while discussing what she misses most about her late husband, Charlie Kirk.

Erika Kirk Breaks Down About Missing Her Late Husband
“It’s the little things, you know, his clothes everywhere…” she continued, choking up. “I know that people who have experienced loss totally understand what I’m saying. It’s the small things that just get you.”
The mom-of-two went on, “It’s the visual of daddy coming home. To the world he was Charlie Kirk, to us he was the love of my life, my children’s dad… I’m so sorry… It’s those little things, he would walk through the door, drop his things, daddy’s home…”
Erika, 37, added tearfully that the Turning Point USA founder — who was 31 when he was killed — would put his phone in a drawer when he would get home.
“I’d always say, ‘Baby, I don’t care what time you get home, home is here for you. Your food will never be cold. It might sit out for a little bit, but I’ll reheat it,'” she explained.
Erika Kirk Doesn’t Blame Guns for Charlie’s Death
Charlie was shot dead in the neck while debating the topic of gun violence during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Nonetheless, the right-wing political activist’s widow insisted his assassination was “not a gun problem” while speaking at the New York Times‘ Dealbook Conference on Wednesday, December 3.
Erika revealed she still supports the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms, claiming her husband’s murder was the result of “individuals that will always resort to violence.”
