Turning Point USA yesterday announced it has named Erika Kirk as the new CEO and board chair of Turning Point USA, which her martyred husband, Charlie Kirk, co-founded. Charlie's chief of staff, Michael McCoy, said, "She's our retribution." Details on Charlie Kirk’s memorial service featuring tributes by President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance inside.
“In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon wrote that mankind is to be tested by God. Today we are facing such a test, yet we also know that God has prepared us with everything we need to overcome this ordeal,” board members Doug De Groote, Mike Miller, Tom Sodeika, and David Engelhardt wrote in a statement released via social media.
Erika Kirk was elected unanimously as the new leader of the organization, which was founded in 2012.
“All of us at Turning Point USA have a special role in carrying Charlie Kirk’s mantle and completing his vision of bringing us all closer to our Lord and fostering a prosperous country for generations to come,” wrote the board members.
“As Charlie always said, ‘We have a country to save.’ We will not surrender or kneel before evil. We will carry on. The attempt to destroy Charlie’s work will become our chance to make it more powerful and enduring than ever before.”
Kirk was allegedly assassinated by Tyler Robinson a transgender adjacent individual on Sept. 10 during an event at Utah Valley University while answering an attendee’s question about transgender mass shootings.
Erika Kirk, the founder of the nonprofit Everyday Heroes Like You and the mother of the late CEO's two children, will helm an organization that has a presence at over 3,500 American schools, over 2,000 TPUSA student groups, and over 800 TPUSA faith groups. Kolvet recently indicated that TPUSA has been inundated with well over 37,000 new chapter requests.
Blaze Media reported Megyn Kelly, one of the fallen patriot's friends to guest-host "The Charlie Kirk Show" in Phoenix this week, revealed on Thursday with the show's executive producer, Andrew Kolvet, that Kirk's widow will take a leading role in fulfilling Charlie's mission — as CEO and board chair of Turning Point USA.
"This is exactly what he wanted," said Kolvet.
"It had to be, right?" said Kelly. "I don't think anybody would accept a leader of the organization who they didn't feel completely understood Charlie and would be 100% dedicated to fulfilling his vision for where this group is going."
Blaze reported Kirk's chief of staff, Michael McCoy, said, "She's our retribution."
Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, is slated for the weekend.
"Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk," an event intended to honor Kirk, a prominent conservative influencer and activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, is scheduled to take place at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, on Sunday, Sept. 21.
