Charlie Kirk’s grieving widow shared a series of pictures of herself weeping over her slain husband’s casket in her first social media post since the conservative commentator was assassinated.
Erika Kirk, 36, can be heard repeatedly whispering “I love you” as she kisses Kirk’s hand for the final time.
“They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband’s mission was big now..you have no idea,” the mom of two wrote in the caption early Saturday morning.

Several images show the grieving widow holding Charlie Kirk’s yellowed hands and giving him final embraces in his casket before a group of men carried it away and put it in a hearse.
“The world is evil,” Erika Kirk wrote.
“The sound of this widow weeping echos throughout this world like a battle cry.”

Erika Kirk also shared a clip of a massive flag at half-staff — which had been ordered by President Trump through Sunday to honor Charlie Kirk’s memory.
The widow also shared clips of herself embracing Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha — including one of the Second Lady holding Erika Kirk as she wails outside the hearse.
