Charlie Kirk’s Mother Kathryn Kirk Addresses Conspiracy Theories Regarding Her Son’s Assassination for the First Time

Kathryn Kirk, the mother of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, has broken her silence regarding conspiracy theories surrounding her son’s tragic assassination.

Kathryn Kirk recently spoke to Vanity Fair for the first interview she has done since her son was assassinated on September 10, 2025.

In the interview, Kathryn shared that her silence about the tragedy was used by conspiracy theorists to claim there is animosity between her and Erika Kirk.

Kathryn shared, “We were 100 percent behind Erika, and through the tragedy, the two of them have grown closer together.

Per Vanity Fair:

The only time Kathryn Kirk, Charlie’s mother, cries is when she starts talking about how upset her son would be over the way his wife has been treated on social media. Kathryn, who has avoided speaking to journalists until now, says that she’s been fielding calls since minutes after Charlie was shot. A TMZ reporter “called me even before I talked to my daughter. Before I was running the car,” she says.

Though she says she’s desperate to remain a private citizen, Kathryn is also coming to terms with the fact that even her silence has been co-opted by conspiracy theorists who claim there is a rift between Charlie’s parents and Erika; that they blame her for their son’s death; that they’re fighting over Charlie’s will—and the legacy of Turning Point.

Kathryn insists that none of this is true. “We were 100 percent behind her,” Kathryn tells me, adding that “Erika and I have, through the trauma, grown closer.

“We knew Charlie in a way that no one else did. We can look at each other’s eyes and we know the depth of our despair.”

Later in the interview, Kathryn shared that, regarding a succession plan for TPUSA if anything were to happen to Charlie, he purposely spared both her and Charlie’s father from those talks “because it would just go right into our fears.”

Members of the TPUSA board told Vanity Fair that Charlie made it very clear that if anything was to happen to him, he wanted Erika to lead the organization he co-founded in 2012.

Kathryn has largely stayed out of the public eye following the assassination of her son.

However, she has sat alongside Erika in the courtroom during preliminary hearings for Tyler Robinson, the man charged with killing Charlie.
