Charlie Kirk funeral Updates: Wife Erika Mouths ‘I Love You,’ Blinks back tears as she takes the stage

• Forgives Alleged Husband’s Shooter

More than 200,000 mourners are gathered for the funeral of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, Sunday in Arizona.

A capacity crowd of people dressed in red, white and blue packed the Arizona Cardinals’ stadium, while more than 100,000 others are either in another arena next door or are outside in scorching heat. Some had been waiting outside since 4 a.m., others having to park miles away and walk to the service.

President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, and others will speak about the influential Turning Point USA founder, shot dead Sept. 10 as he spoke on a Utah college campus during a stop on his American Comeback Tour.

“He wanted to save young men — just like the one who took his life,” Charlie Kirk’s widow just said.

“I forgive him,” Erika Kirk declared of his accused killer, without saying Tyler Robinson’s name.

She sobbed, gasping, into the microphone, steadying herself by holding the podium with both hands.

The whole stadium applauded her.
