Savannah Chrisley is mourning the loss of Charlie Kirk. She appeared on “Fox & Friends” to talk about the impact he had on her life. Chrisley had planned to join Kirk on a college campus tour before he was assassinated. She said his death was heartbreaking but also inspired millions to continue his fight.
Chrisley said Kirk gave her a voice at times when she felt she didn’t have one. She was excited to get to know him personally and see his work up close. She called him a strong voice for the country and admired how his work at Turning Point USA inspired young people, including her 19-year-old brother.
She said seeing students stand up and speak out reminded her that “our lives are on the line.” She quoted Kirk, saying that failing to speak out against evil is itself evil. Chrisley said it is now her responsibility to be loud and stand up, no matter who agrees or disagrees.
Chrisley also highlighted the role of faith in Kirk and his wife Erika’s lives. She said bringing Christianity back into households is essential for the country. She was impressed by Erika’s strength, continuing Kirk’s work after his death. Chrisley called Erika a leader and said the movement will only grow from here.
Kirk, 31, was killed on September 10 at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, 22, was later identified. Chrisley described the death as a political assassination and said she is grieving for Erika and the entire family.
She shared that Kirk’s legacy is a movement she hopes to honor for her own children. She said it was difficult to process because she was supposed to sit next to him during October campus events. Chrisley called for prayers for Charlie, his family, and his supporters, emphasizing the importance of keeping his message and work alive.
