During an emotional speech Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, said forgives her husband’s assassin and that she believes Charlie would have done the same.
“That man, that young man … I forgive him,” “I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do,” … “The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.”
