The widow of prominent right-wing activist Charlie Kirk pledges to carry on her husband’s work, after US authorities announced his alleged assassin had finally been captured.

A heartbroken Erika Kirk mourns the loss of “the perfect father…the perfect husband.”

“The evil-doers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done,” she says in a live video address.

“You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife; the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.

“The movement my husband built will not die. It won’t. I refuse to let that happen,” she says.
