…there is no linear blueprint for grief. One day you’re collapsed on the floor crying out the name Jesus in between labored breaths. The next you’re playing with your children in the living room, surrounded by family photos, and feeling a rush of something you can only attempt to define as divinely planted and bittersweet joy as a smile breaks through on your face.
They say time heals. But love doesn’t ask to be healed. Love asks to be remembered. It’s humbling to realize that this magnitude of suffering didn’t steal my love for my husband. It amplified it. It crystallized it.
I carry my Charlie in every breath, in every ache, and in every quiet act of day to day living as I attempt to relearn what that rhythm will be.
And what I’ve realized through these past 30 days is the greater the suffering, the purer the love. And I have never loved him more than I do now.
We need to have an official remembrance day for Charlie Kirk.
He was born on October 14, 1993.
We need to honor his legacy and have a day just for him. His birthday.
They did it for MLK. They can do it for Charlie.
Please repost if you agree so we can get this done.
People are out here calling Charlie Kirk a racist, a fascist, and even saying he was okay with rape. Let’s be honest, none of that is true. Those are lies, slander, and twisted narratives meant to destroy a man’s character because he stood for truth.
Charlie never hated Middle Eastern people. He didn’t preach hate. He spoke truth. But the moment you speak truth, the left and the media start twisting your words. They try to fill in their own political agendas, “Palestine this, Palestine that,” when believers are simply mourning the loss of a brother in Christ.
Nobody is dismissing what’s happening overseas, but not everything you read in the media is correct. And as Republicans we have seen time and time again how the media pushes lies to divide. The Bible says: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).
And let’s address this. Stop getting offended because Charlie said transgender ideology is wrong. It is wrong in God’s eyes. “So God created mankind in His own image; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). That is truth. Christians twisting Scripture and attacking Charlie over this are the ones full of rage and hate, not him. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20).
Just because people feel strongly about world events does not mean they get to judge others for posting about Charlie and not about Palestine. The Bible says: “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15).
And here’s the double standard. Democrats want total control over everything, what you believe, what you say, what you post. But the second a Christian or conservative speaks the truth, suddenly we are called “radical,” “racist,” “fascist,” “homophobic.” That hypocrisy proves what Jesus warned us: “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10:22).
Here is the truth:
• Charlie Kirk was not a racist
• He was not a fascist
• He never condoned evil
• He was a man of conviction, a conservative who stood on biblical truth, and he made the left furious because he refused to back down
Like Paul said: “Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16).
So do not let slander, fake media narratives, or leftist lies define Charlie Kirk’s legacy. Remember him for who he truly was, a bold Republican, a brother in Christ, and a man who stood unshaken for truth and freedom. #ripcharliekirk #CharlieKirk 🕊️
A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.
Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."
Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.
Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.
When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.
Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.
Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.
Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.
He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.
Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.
I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.
God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.
You ran a good race, my friend.
We've got it from here.
Before you sleep read Isaiah 41:10. God reassures & says to us “Don't panic I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you” May God protect, keep & shield us. May we wake up safe tomorrow
God will literally sit you down and break you to humble you, then will isolate you to build you. Then give you back everything 10x to prove to you he's real and everything is for a reason!
