“Over the weeks since her husband’s death, Erika Kirk has consolidated control of Turning Point USA, the far-right student organizing and media network that he founded. Now acting as its chief operating officer and overall boss, she swiftly embarked on a broad fundraising campaign designed to profit from his horrible murder.

Unsurprisingly, public empathy for his suddenly fatherless family inspired a gusher of millions of dollars into online accounts sponsored by Carlson and others, even as Erika drew millions more into TPUSA.”
