Erika Kirk Ramps Up Media Campaign With Fox News Blitz and CBS Town Hall

She foregrounds a mental‑health 'soul problem' as the cause of her husband's killing rather than gun policy.

Overview

  • CBS News schedules a one-hour town hall for Dec. 13 moderated by Bari Weiss, taped in New York before an invited audience and airing at 8 p.m. ET after preempting the Family Film and TV Awards.
  • Fox News plans six appearances for Kirk next week tied to a book tour, including Hannity on Dec. 8, Fox & Friends and a guest co-host turn on The Five on Dec. 9, Outnumbered on Dec. 10, and multiple radio hits.
  • At the Dec. 3 New York Times DealBook Summit, Kirk said her husband's assassination reflects a deeper human and spiritual crisis, not a 'gun problem,' and noted she removed social and news apps from her phone after his death.
  • Kirk now leads Turning Point USA as chair and CEO, stepping into the national spotlight to discuss grief, polarization, and her late husband's legacy across mainstream and conservative outlets.
  • Utah prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder in Charlie Kirk’s Sept. 10 shooting and are seeking the death penalty, with pretrial matters continuing.
