“Erika has been through a lot. In Charlie’s memory, we must all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation under God, and we must totally reject political violence of any kind,” Trump said.
Erika came in for criticism from some online users who believed she was playing up for the cameras with her reaction. There were others, however, who reflected on the fact that she looked to be mouthing “I miss you” to her late husband.
“Seeing Erika Kirk mouth ‘I miss you’ is heartbreaking,” one user penned on X.
Another added: “I’m not a lip reader, but it appears that Erika says: ‘I miss you.’ after standing up. You can see her struggling to keep her composure when hearing Charlie’s name.”
