Charlie Kirk's shooting: Tyler Robinson identified as shooter

Her post came after Tyler Robinson, 22, was identified as the shooter of Kirk. Following his dismissal, MSNBC commentator Matthew Dowd defended his “misconstrued” comments on Kirk.

“The sound of this widow weeping echoes throughout this world like a battle cry. I have no idea what any of this means. But baby I know you do and so does our Lord,” Erika added.

She concluded her statement with a stern warning to the killer, asserting: “They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband's mission was big now..you have no idea. You. All of you. Will never. Ever. Forget my husband @charliekirk1776 I'll make sure of it.”
