The former NASCAR driver revealed in an Instagram post that attending a political event with Kirk's involvement — Amfest in December 2023 — marked her entry into politics. Despite backlash, Patrick was motivated to speak at the event the following year and campaign actively, including for Donald Trump, pledging to continue this work where Kirk left off. “ I got into politics because of @charliekirk1776," Patrick wrote on Instagram. "It truly was my turning point. • Amfest was my first political event December of 2023, with my sister. The backlash I got for attending lit a fire under my ass and I spoke the next year at the same event on top of campaigning for @realdonaldtrump. I will speak again in 2025. • I am not sure what to expect, other than one thing…where Charlie left off, we will continue. With all that we have. 🙏”Patrick’s tribute honored Kirk as more than a political activist. She described him as an inspiration to millions, a devoted family man and a leader who energized younger conservatives.
