“I’m So Glad I’m Not You”: Erika Kirk’s Tearful Message to the Family of Her Husband’s Alleged Assassin

Erika Kirk fought through trembling breaths and glistening tears as she faced one of the most painful questions of her life — live, onstage, in front of thousands.

During the emotional final stop of the Megyn Kelly Live Tour, the widow at the heart of a national tragedy opened up about faith, fury, forgiveness, and the message she would deliver to the family of the man accused of murdering her husband, Charlie Kirk.

And her answer left the room frozen.

A Night Heavy With Emotion

Dressed in black and clutching a tissue between her fingers, Erika stepped into the spotlight with the quiet strength of someone who had already endured more than many people experience in a lifetime.

Host Megyn Kelly didn’t waste time cutting to the hard truths.

“I know you don’t ever feel angry against God,” Kelly said softly. “But I kind of do. How do you make sense of that? Do you have any anger?”

The audience held its breath.

Erika’s reply was steady — painfully so.

“The enemy would love for me to be angry,” she said, her voice cracking.
“He would love it because it would distract me from what Charlie entrusted to me — raising our babies, leading Turning Point, being there for the team, and building for the future.”

Every sentence seemed torn from the deepest part of her chest.

“Here I Am, Lord. Use Me.”

For a moment, Erika glanced upward, blinking back tears.

She spoke of Charlie not as a martyr, but as a man whose final legacy had become her mission.

“If I had anger in my heart,” she continued,
“the Lord wouldn’t be able to use me. Charlie said it every day: ‘Here I am, Lord, use me.’ I can’t let anger become a foothold for the enemy.”

The crowd erupted in quiet applause — the kind born from respect, not spectacle.

Forgiving the Accused Killer — And the Question That Broke the Room

Kelly then pushed into the moment that had stunned the nation: Erika’s public forgiveness of her husband’s alleged killer during the massive memorial service attended by former President Donald Trump.

“If you could say something to him — or to his parents — what would it be?” Kelly asked.
“Would it be anger? Sympathy? Something else?”

Erika inhaled, closed her eyes, and spoke words no one expected.

“It wouldn’t be sympathy. It wouldn’t be anger.”

She paused, wiping tears.

“Anything I could ever wish upon him or his family would pale compared to the justice of God.”

Then she delivered the line that sent a shockwave through the theater:

“I would look at them almost like… I’m so glad I’m not you.”

Kelly’s mouth fell open.
The audience gasped.
A few people wiped their eyes.

It wasn’t hatred.
It wasn’t vengeance.
It was something colder — something truer.

A recognition that divine justice is heavier than any earthly punishment.

Life After the Loss

In this fictional scenario, Erika has been thrust into an unbearable spotlight since the death of her husband — a beloved activist and young father.

She has spoken openly about the nightmares, the faith battles, and the impossible pressure of raising two children in the shadow of tragedy.

Yet through it all, one message remains consistent:

She doesn’t want the accused killer’s blood on her hands.
She wants the justice system — and God — to handle the rest.

A Woman Forged in Fire

As the lights dimmed and the interview reached its final moments, the audience wasn’t left with outrage or bitterness.

They were left with something far more haunting:

Admiration for a woman refusing to let darkness pull her under.

Erika Kirk didn’t simply survive tragedy —
she looked directly into the abyss and said,
“I’m not going to let you have me.”

And in that moment, the entire room knew:

They were witnessing a strength most people pray to find — but never do.
