"The world is evil," the caption reads alongside photos of the Kirk family."But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. No...he is so good. I'll never have words for it. Never." The first image is of the family, with both Erika and Charlie hugging their two children.

Charlie Kirk's widow gives an emotional speech: 'You have no idea what you have unleashed'

Erika is also seen grieving over her husband's body in the half-open coffin. She is filmed kissing and caressing his hands."The sound of this widow weeping echoes through the world like a battle cry. I have no idea what all this means. But darling, I know you do, and so does our Lord."

The scene also shows the coffin being loaded and taken to Air Force 2—Vice President J.D. Vance's plane. The American flag is prominently displayed."They have no idea what they just stirred in this woman. If they thought my husband's mission was grand... you have no idea. You. All of you. Will never, ever. Forget my husband. I will make sure of that."

In the arms of the Vice President and his wife, Usha, Erika watches the coffin being loaded onto the plane."Rest in the arms of our Lord, my dear husband, as He envelops you with the words I know you long to hear: Well done, my good and faithful servant."
