During Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday (24), the U.S. president dedicated part of his speech to Charlie Kirk, the husband of Erika Kirk. The widow of the Turning Point founder was visibly moved by the mention of Charlie.
“I am very proud to say that during my time in office — both in the first four years and especially in this last year — there has been a tremendous renewal of religion, faith, Christianity and belief in God,” Trump began.
The Republican credited this change to his “friend” Charlie Kirk. Erika Kirk was seen silently mouthing three words as her husband was being honored.
“So last year, Charlie was brutally murdered by a gunman and martyred for his beliefs. His wonderful wife Erika is with us tonight,” the president noted.
Users replayed the scene multiple times and tried to decipher what she was saying. Some speculate that she said “I miss you.”
“Seeing Erika Kirk say ‘I miss you’ breaks your heart,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“I’m not a lip reader, but it looks like Erika says ‘I miss you’ after standing up. You can see she’s struggling to keep her composure when she hears Charlie’s name,” another observed.
“You’ve been through a lot,” Trump added.
Charlie Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025, while delivering a speech at Utah Valley University.
