Her message was direct: The two women have become closer since losing Charlie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were 100% behind her,\u201d Kathryn said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/charlie-kirks-mom-speaks-out-for-first-time-since-assassination?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Charlie+Kirk%E2%80%99s+Mom+Speaks+Out+For+First+Time+Since+Assassination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Daily Wire<\/a>\u2019s account of the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A mother answers the rumors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kathryn pushed back on speculation that Charlie\u2019s parents blamed Erika for his death or disagreed with her over Turning Point USA\u2019s future, The Daily Wire reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cErika and I have, through the trauma, grown closer,\u201d she told Vanity Fair. \u201cWe knew Charlie in a way that no one else did. We can look at each other\u2019s eyes, and we know the depth of our despair.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to The Daily Wire\u2019s report, Kathryn began crying when discussing how upset her son would be by the attacks directed at his wife on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had largely stayed away from interviews after Charlie was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. But staying out of public view did not spare her from attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kathryn recalled that a TMZ reporter \u201ccalled me even before I talked to my daughter. Before I was running the car,\u201d she told Vanity Fair, according to The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her decision to speak now gives readers a direct account of her relationship with Erika, rather than speculation about what her silence might mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Charlie wanted for Turning Point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Vanity Fair profile also addressed Erika\u2019s succession at Turning Point USA. Board members, Erika and close allies told the magazine that Charlie wanted his wife to take over if something happened to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kathryn said Charlie had kept his parents out of those conversations to avoid heightening their fears. Her support for Erika adds a family perspective to the debate over the organization\u2019s future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">United in the pursuit of justice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family\u2019s public rejection of division comes as the criminal case against Charlie\u2019s accused killer moves toward trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 1, Utah Judge Tony Graf ruled that Tyler Robinson could stand trial on all charges, including aggravated murder, ABC News reported. Not guilty pleas were entered on Robinson\u2019s behalf. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ruling allows the prosecution to proceed; it does not determine Robinson\u2019s guilt. In a joint statement shared by Erika and quoted by The Daily Wire, the family emphasized the loss facing Charlie\u2019s children, who will grow up without their father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the next phase of the judicial process begins, our family remains united in our love for Charlie, our commitment to the pursuit of justice, and our prayer for a transparent and timely process,\u201d the family said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than a year after Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination, his mother is speaking publicly about a different source of pain: rumors that his grieving family has turned against his widow.
