Criticism continues to follow Erika, intensifying after the release of audio of her speaking to TPUSA team members two weeks after Charlie’s death.
The audio was released by right-wing influencer Candace Owens, who has previously promoted various conspiracy theories about Charlie’s death.
In the recording, Erika can be heard “jiggling” and happily praises the team for pulling off an “event of the century” and notes the substantial sales of merchandise they have done.
“Wow, I don’t even know where to start. The fact that we were able to pull off an event of the century is just crazy. We had 275,000 people in attendance and an overflow stadium,” said Erika, in the leaked audio.
She added, “I think we’re at like 200,000 for merchandise sales. You don’t have to quote me on that, because I think it’s going to be bumpy like crazy. I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to the events team, the development team, the graphic design team and the production team.”

Hearing Erika talk so happily about selling merchandise after her husband’s death is certainly eye-opening, but her apparent dismissal of his death was even more shocking.
In the middle of her speech, she earnestly urged her staff to resolve any past conflicts between them before continuing to comment on Charlie’s death.
“My husband is dead. Like, I’m not trying to be morbid, but he’s dead. And it puts life into perspective of how short life is, and relationships,” Erika said.
In response, Owens then said on her podcast that she was surprised by Erika’s seemingly calm reaction.
“In my imagination, I just thought she was going to be more upset,” noted the right-wing influencer.

The reaction to Erika’s leaked audio was somewhat divided, with several calling out the widow’s overly cheerful attitude, while others noted that she was simply making the best of a bad situation.
A critic on X noted, “The happiest leftists you can imagine, not half as happy about Charlie Kirk’s death as Charlie Kirk’s wife.”
Another person wrote, “‘People cry in different ways,’ But nobody cries like this.”
“This is the first time she sounds authentic, she’s happy about merch in her husband’s memorial, crazy, every other speech she gave about her husband sounds like a bad reaction,” commented a third person about the audio that was broadcast.
However, several showed support for Erika, with someone asking, “What are you supposed to do? Not address and thank the team that put up her husband’s memorial?”
Another said, “Erika is excited that millions of people have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. Why are we upset about this?!”

Since taking over from Charlie, Erika has hosted several TPUSA events and recently launched another under the Faith non-profit arm.
The inaugural “Make Heaven Crowded” tour will visit 30 cities this year to call people to “repentance, faith, and bold obedience to Jesus.”
“This tour is so special to me because I wanted to … bring a piece of heaven from my husband and bring it to everyone around this county so they can have that extension, and that beauty and that palpable feeling of the Holy Spirit,” Erika said of the tour to an audience of thousands, according to the New York Post.
The mother of two continued to reiterate her commitment to further push her husband’s legacy of faith.
“The Church is never meant to withdraw from culture. We will change this country. We will change this world,” she added.

Unfortunately for Erika, the tour, which is still in its infancy, was soon overshadowed by controversy over the role of Pastor Greg Laurie as the primary speaker.
Laurie, the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, has been named in a series of lawsuits filed in US federal court alleging child abuse and trafficking by former pastor Paul Havsgaard.
The lawsuit alleged that church leaders, including Laurie, allowed Havsgaard to act unsupervised and ignored several warning signs of his alleged misconduct when he ran church-supported children’s homes in Romania from 1998 to 2008.
Laurie and his church have since denied any wrongdoing.
“This is not Charlie’s Turning Point. Erika is not doing what Charlie does, ugh,” a second individual commented on Laurie’s inclusion.
