Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk will be speaking out on CBS:”A Town Hall With Erika Kirk” will air Saturday, Dec. 13 at 8/7c on CBS, the network announced on Thursday, with new CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss serving as moderator.
The one-hour event filmed before a live studio audience in New York “will feature Kirk fielding questions from young evangelicals, prominent religious leaders, and figures across the political spectrum,”according to the official description.”The conversation will also focus on our country’s political divide – and how we can find our way out.”
Erika Kirk is the current chairman and CEO of the conservative political organization Turning Point USA, which was founded by her late husband, Charlie Kirk, who was killed in September.
“Like so many people around the world, I will never forget the moment that Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer,” Weiss said in a statement. “I am eager to speak to her — and thrilled to be doing so in front of a group of Americans who I know will elevate the conversation.”
