AOL provided more details on Erika Kirk’s first interview since the assassination of her husband:

Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk sat down with “Jesse Watters Primetime” for her first TV interview since the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk. In the emotional interview, Kirk recalled what it was like seeing her husband lying in the hospital after he was fatally shot in September.

“He had this smirk on his face. That smirk. That smirk to me is that look of ‘you thought you could stop what I’ve built. You thought that you could end this vision, this movement, this revival, you thought you could do that by murdering me. You got my body, you didn’t get my soul,'” Kirk told Fox News’ Jesse Watters nearly two months after her husband was assassinated.

In the interview, Kirk addressed life after her husband’s death, including the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, the defense’s request to keep cameras out of the courtroom and her daughter’s questions about Charlie.

“You told your children that Charlie was going on a work trip with Jesus. Are they still asking ‘where’s daddy’?” Watters asked Kirk.

“Yes, my daughter continues to ask, but it’s really sweet, because I keep explaining to her a few things,” Kirk told Watters. “I said if ever you want to talk to daddy, you just look up to the sky and start talking to him. He can hear you. It’s always good. And I told her, I said, you know, ‘Daddy, daddy is in heaven.’ She goes, ‘Do you think I could go sometime?’ I said, ‘Baby, we will all go one day. We will all go one day.'”

Since her husband’s assassination, Kirk said she has refused to live in fear. She told Watters, “I’m not afraid, Charlie wasn’t afraid either. We never lived in fear. If we did, we wouldn’t get anything done.”
