The widow of Charlie Kirk made an emotional gesture during her late husband’s memorial service yesterday.
Earlier this month, the MAGA activist and Turning Point USA leader was fatally shot while speaking at the Utah Valley University campus.
The 31-year-old left behind his partner, Erika Kirk, and their two young children. His funeral unfolded at the home of the NFL team Arizona Cardinals, over the weekend.
This was right in front of tens of thousands of supporters and MAGA dignitaries, with tributes paid out by President Trump and his VP JD Vance, alongside heartbroken Mrs. Kirk.
There was a certain moment during her speech that stood out, and that’s when she gave an emotional gesture featuring her left fingers in a certain manner and pointed them towards the sky. Now, many wondered what exactly that meant, as it was unique, to say the least.
