During a CBS town hall event, Erika Kirk jumped at the chance to dispel conspiracies surrounding her late husband’s murder, especially claims about Egyptian planes tracking her.
Erika, widow of assassinated conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, has personally been the subject a number of unproven theories since the murder of her husband, including that she was being tracked by Egyptian planes, that she’s an agent of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, that the rings on her hands signify some secret plot, and many others, CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said during the event.
“Egyptian planes,” Erika quickly underscored, with a smile on her face. “You wanna talk about the Egyptian planes? Okay, I was pregnant for 90% of those trips. Mind you, I’ve never been to all those places they said I’ve traveled … I mean, I’ve been, but not within those dates —”
Weiss interrupted to ask if Erika needed to even address the conspiracy.
“I do on that one, only because — from a humor standpoint,” Erika said. “I intentionally, when I was pregnant, hid. Not because I was embarrassed … yes, we did keep it very private, but it’s because it was a moment [where] I was growing a human inside of me, my baby. The world that Charlie and I live in is very toxic at times, and when you are growing a beautiful child in you — I don’t wanna be around it.”
“I wanna enjoy eating my In-N-Out burger and my hot fudge sundae,” Kirk said. “That’s what I wanna do. I’m pregnant, and I have nine months to own it. You really think I’m gonna be on an Egyptian plane while I’m wanting to be with my In-N-Out Burger and my chocolate milkshake? No, I’m not.”
“So if you want to go through my flight log, go right ahead, it’s very boring,” she continued. “You say I was here on this date — I have a photo on my phone to prove that I actually was in the hospital because I was having contractions. So, game on.”
Conspiracy theorists have said Kirk’s alleged murderer was actually a MAGA Republican. That Erika Kirk is a Mossad agent. That even the rings on her fingers signify a secret plot. What does Erika make of these wild claims?

Erika also made clear that she believes Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who has been charged in Charlie’s assassination, is the man who killed her husband.
“Everyone always has to think there’s more to the story,” Erika said, explaining why some people might want to believe conspiracies exonerating Robinson. “Well, sometimes there’s not. I’ve seen the autopsy report. I’ve seen our case pulled together.”
“This is the first time that we have seen evil on display where we have social media at our fingertips,” Erika added. “Something so evil that happened, people are wanting answers immediately. They are wanting to figure out how to wrap their mind around this.”
