Erika Kirk, the grieving widow of Charlie Kirk, recounted the painful moment she saw her husband's body in the hospital after his assassination — while also sharing a "secret" she had never revealed to him during his lifetime. The bullet came, he blinked, and he was in heaven," Erika Kirk said in an emotional interview with the New York Times. Erika shared that the sheriff requested her not to see her husband's body because of the severe damage the bullet had caused to his neck. Erika also shared the "secret" she had kept from him during his life. "One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved, arguing and debating ... he blinked ... and saw his savior in paradise," she added.
