Erika Kirk: 'You Have No Idea What You Have Unleashed'

Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, delivered her first public remarks on Friday (September 12) since her husband was shot and killed. Charlie Kirk was a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, an organization Erika Kirk said would continue her husband’s movement. She described Kirk as a man who “laid down his life for our nation” and warned those responsible that “the movement will not die.” "To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won't, I refuse to let that happen ... All of us will refuse to let that happen," Erika Kirk said. "No one will ever forget my husband's name, and I will make sure of it."

FBI: DNA Near Charlie Kirk's Assassination Matches Suspect

FBI Director Kash Patel says DNA on a towel wrapped around a rifle found near where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated matches that of the 22-year-old accused in the killing. Patel told Fox News Channel on Monday investigators also have used DNA to link suspect Tyler Robinson with a screwdriver recovered from the rooftop where the fatal shot was fired. Authorities in Utah are preparing to file capital murder charges against Robinson as early as Tuesday in the killing of Kirk, a dominant figure in conservative politics. Patel says Robinson wrote in a note before the shooting that he had an opportunity to take out Kirk. It’s unclear whether Robinson has an attorney.
