Erika Kirk Seen Crying As She’s Ushered Out After Gunman Storms White House Correspondents’ Dinner
A sobbing Erika Kirk was ushered out of the Washington Hilton following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday; but as is always the case when Charlie Kirk’s widow sheds a tear, social media users are dubious.
Erika is caught on camera choking up and saying: “I just want to go home”…

People are sarcastically calling it ‘another Oscar-worthy performance’, having found her behaviour since the assassination of Charlie Kirk to be very bizarre, which is fair enough really. She immediately took over his company, Turning Point USA, and shifted its political direction while wiping his videos from the channel.
There’s also this footage of her “drive by crying” a few weeks back…
ERIKA KIRK DID IT AGAIN 🥲😭

Is there seriously no one in her life who cares enough to tell her to just stop ? pic.twitter.com/rK3hZSz1gM
Not to mention her WWE-style entrance at his memorial, her excitement over the profits the event made, and Turning Point USA’s refusal to release video footage that they claim exists of Charlie Kirk announcing Erika as his successor before his death.
Now it’s brutal to think that Erika Kirk is a genuinely grieving widow who is still being accused of having a hand in and/or capitalising on her husband’s assassination. But I have to admit – she does go about things rather weirdly. Remember when she warned Candace Owens to stop looking into Charlie’s death?
Well anyway, the suspect at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner didn’t manage to shoot anyone, and there’s already all kinds of conspiracy theories about it being staged, which is unsurprising given who we’re dealing with here.
The suspect has been named as California man Cole Tomas Allen, 31. He was taken into custody and is expected to appear in court on Monday.
