Charlie's wife penned an emotional caption for the post:

"The world is evil. But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. Не...Не is so good. I will never have the words. Ever."

Erika grieved the Republican activist's loss but said the message Charlie was spreading will be "amplified" after his death and she will continue the mission to ensure her husband will be remembered.

"The sound of this widow weeping echos throughout this world like a battle cry. I have no idea what any of this means. But baby, I know you do, and so does our Lord. They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband's mission was big now ... You have no idea.

"You, all of you, will never, ever, forget my husband Charlie Kirk I'll make sure of it. Rest in the arms of our Lord baby as he blankets you with the words I know your heart always strived to hear, 'Well done My good and faithful servant.'"

Antonio Brown called out FBI director Kash Patel for his speech

FBI director Kash Patel led the manhunt to capture Charlie Kirk's shooter. Patel addressed the media on Friday to provide an update on the investigation. During the presser, he paid a tribute to his "friend," saying:

"To my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla."

Antonio Brown called out Patel for his "Valhalla" comment in a social media post on X.

"Valhalla? was that ni*** Kratos?"

Meanwhile, NFL teams are expected to observe a minute's silence in Kirk's tribute before their Week 2 games on Sunday.
