Charlie Kirk’s heartbroken widow said her husband gave his life for his country and family in an emotional speech just two days after the conservative activist was publicly assassinated during an outdoor speaking event in Utah.

A teary-eyed Erika Frantzve Kirk, wife of the slain founder of Turning Point USA, addressed mourners for the first time Friday night in Arizona, where her husband will be buried.

"My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children," Erika said behind a podium with a sign of her late husband's face, saying "May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior."

The White House posted a touching tribute to Charlie Kirk on X Friday night, highlighting his speeches about faith and devout Christian belief and his lessons to the people who watched him.

"I want you to remember that it is bigger than you. It's bigger than me. You are here to make somebody else's life better, the pursuit of liberty and freedom. You know what gives me strength? The hundreds of thousands of you that say, Charlie, keep going."

Mourners are gathered outside Turning Point USA's Arizona headquarters Friday to honor Charlie Kirk, the conservative group's founder and president.

Kirk established the nonprofit in Phoenix in 2012 when he was only a teenager, aiming to promote conservative politics on high school and college campuses across the country.

The organization's stated mission is to "identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government."

Turning Point USA operates student programs, provides scholarships, and hosts events throughout the year to advance its political agenda.

There's also a memorial on campus at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, where Kirk, 31, was speaking Wednesday when he was gunned down.

A Chicago-based Marine Corps recruiter was stood down Thursday after he appeared to post a meme celebrating the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

"Another racist man popped," read the post by Capt. Jacoby Williamson alongside images of Kirk, who was shot and killed Wednesday while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Screenshots of Williamson's account were later posted on Reddit.

"The Marine Corps takes this type of allegation seriously,” Capt. Austin Gallegos, a spokesman for the Corps’ Western Recruiting Region, told Task & Purpose Thursday. “The Marine in question has been relieved of his recruiting duties, and the matter is currently under investigation.”

Navy Secretary John C. Phelan, who oversees the Marine Corps, posted on X Thursday night: "I am aware of posts displaying contempt toward a fellow American who was assassinated. I want to be very clear: any uniformed or civilian employee of the Department of the Navy who acts in a manner that brings discredit upon the Department, the @USNavy or the @USMC will be dealt with swiftly and decisively."

What a horror.

“Misery” author Stephen King has been slammed as “a horrible, evil, twisted liar” and “more monstrous” than any of his characters for attacking Charlie Kirk’s memory soon after the father of two was assassinated.

King, 77, was forced to delete his post and apologize — repeatedly — after sparking fury with his response to a heartfelt tribute to the murdered Trump ally.

“He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin’,” the famous horror author wrote in response to Fox News’ Jesse Watters labeling Kirk “not a controversial or polarizing figure” but “a PATRIOT.”

King’s reply sparked revulsion, with many pointing out that Kirk repeatedly said gay people should be welcome in the conservative movement.

Charlie Kirk's accused killer, Tyler Robinson, talked with his roommate on Discord about a rifle hidden in a towel that was found nearby soon after Kirk’s assassination, sources told The Post.

Tyler Robinson was a third-year student in an electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College in St. George, Utah, according to a report.

Robinson also earned college credits through Utah Tech University from 2019 to 2021, while he was in high school, a spokesperson from Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk was shot dead Wednesday, told NBC News.

Robinson was arrested Friday morning in the fatal shooting after a day-and-a-half-long manhunt.

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was raised Mormon, and yet fired his fatal shot just moments after the conservative influencer had spoken in glowing praise of the Church of Latter-day Saints.

Footage from Kirk's final event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday shows him bantering with a member of the Mormon faith in the crowd, referring to him as the "guy in the shirt and tie at the front here," before going on to speak of his love for the church.

"I love how Mormons send missionaries around the world, I love how polite they are. … Half my team is Mormon," he said, to huge cheers from the Utah crowd.

"Mormons are great people. Let me just say, I'm an evangelical Christian, but I'm not one of those guys that hates on Mormons," he added.

Kirk's words came just minutes before he was shot and killed — allegedly by Robinson, whose neighbor said he attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in St. George, Utah.

"He went to our church when he was younger,” a neighbor told The Post.
