Fox News just reported the heartbreaking moment from backstage at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “Erika Kirk came running through the backstage in tears crying, ‘I just wanna go home,’” the reporter said. “She was then escorted out of the building.”
They tied it directly to the trauma she’s carried for seven months since the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk: “We all saw what happened to poor Charlie… She watched an assassination of her young husband, somebody who was a man that believed in spirited friendly fun debate that had a deep faith in God.”
The reporter added: “Can you really blame her?” and noted, “The discourse, the tone—it’s something that’s got to give here for the betterment of our country.” The entire event was called off after a shooting incident, with President Trump set to address the nation from the White House. Erika has endured unimaginable loss, and last night’s chaos clearly brought everything rushing back.
