‘Is That How We Do It?’: Erika Kirk Reveals If She Will Seek Death Penalty For Husband’s Accused Assassin

Erika Kirk, the widow of assassinated Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, explained her stance towards her late husband’s accused killer in a recent New York Times (NYT) interview.

Mrs. Kirk told the NYT in an interview published Sunday that in response to being asked about whether she would want to seek the death penalty against Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin she does not want the alleged assassin’s “blood” on her “ledger.” She also said that she strongly believes her husband’s assassination was “God’s plan.”

“I’m a strong believer that this was God’s plan,” Mrs. Kirk told the outlet. “And it’s so clear-cut. It couldn’t be more Charlie.”

“I’ve had so many people ask, ‘Do you feel anger toward this man? Like, do you want to seek the death penalty?’ I’ll be honest. I told our lawyer, I want the government to decide this,” she continued. “I do not want that man’s blood on my ledger. Because when I get to heaven, and Jesus is like: ‘Uh, eye for an eye? Is that how we do it?’ And that keeps me from being in heaven, from being with Charlie?”

Mrs. Kirk’s comments come after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University’s campus. The accused assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested by police on Sept. 11. Utah prosecutors on Sept. 16
