Erika Kirk, widow of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, issued a stern warning this morning, September 13th, 2025, stating that "The evil doers, responsible for my husband's assassination, have no idea what they have done... you have no idea what you have just unleashed across this entire country — and this world." Her statement was made in the early hours of September 13th, amid continued national and global vigils for her husband. Utah Governor Spencer Cox reiterated his call for unity, stating on September 13th that Utah must lead in overcoming political polarization following Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University, which he described as "one of the most public assassinations in U.S. history." Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of the assassination, and prosecutors are pursuing the death penalty. Robinson has reportedly "lawyered up" and is not speaking with investigators, according to information released between 1:01 AM and 1:46 AM UTC on September 13th. President Donald Trump departed New York City for Bedminster, New Jersey, at approximately 2:40 AM UTC on September 13th, as vigils continued. In New York City, attendees at a vigil in Madison Square Park chanted "We are all Charlie Kirk Now," according to reports. Stephen Miller vowed to continue Kirk's mission, stating Kirk's final message was a call to dismantle radical left organizations fomenting violence. Separately, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass directed city flags to remain at full staff, overriding a federal proclamation to lower them to half-staff. Earlier developments included Office Depot's refusal to print tribute posters for Kirk vigils, which were labeled "PROPAGANDA." Erika Kirk had previously stated in the early hours of September 13th that her husband is "now with God."
