Vice President JD Vance was the guest of honor at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on Wednesday, Oct. 29. But it was a moment during his introduction that has since gone viral. Erika Kirk, the widow of right-wing political organizer Charlie Kirk, has taken her husband's place as Turning Point CEO following his assassination during a TPUSA event on Sept. 10. She opened Wednesday's event with an emotional speech, noting that the day marked seven weeks since her husband was killed.
