A Nation Watches in Grief
For the first time since the shocking death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, his widow Erika Lane Frantzve Kirk has spoken publicly — and her words have broken hearts across the nation.
Appearing in a short video released late last night, Erika, her voice trembling through tears, described the unbearable pain of explaining her husband’s absence to their young children.
