Overview

• Allen wrote on X that he now forgives the drunk driver who killed his father in 1964, saying Erika Kirk’s words "deeply affected" him.
• At Sunday’s State Farm Stadium memorial, Erika said she forgives 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson, invoking her Christian faith and declaring that "the answer to hate is not hate."
• Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder and other offenses, and prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty.
• The memorial drew a large crowd and high-profile attendees including President Donald J. Trump, whose remarks contrasted with Erika’s message of grace.
• Erika now leads Turning Point USA and said Friday on The Charlie Kirk Show that the organization and its media platforms will continue in Charlie’s name.
