New York, September 29: After the assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, social media was flooded with tributes, conspiracy theories, and viral rumours, many of which focused on his widow, Erika Kirk. A well-known figure in Christian conservative circles, Erika Kirk has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, but the sudden loss of her husband thrust her into public view once again.

The rumour gained traction after a supposed screenshot of Erika’s X account went viral, with text implying she had made it her "new mission" to help young Christians find partners.
