Eric Trump was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to honor the memory, work, and legacy of Charlie Kirk. Eric was a close friend of Kirk’s who worked alongside him to help President Trump get reelected in 2024.
“Eric, thank you so much for being here this morning,” Bartiromo said.
“Your reaction?” Bartiromo asked about Erika Kirk’s speech addressing the nation.
“Erika, right there, was so powerful. I watched the entire thing. I couldn’t believe her strength and her courage,” Trump responded.
Eric explained to Maria that the impact that Charlie Kirk made on America and the world wasn’t just limited to young people. The older generations also understood his wisdom. He also said that Kirk’s murder was an attack on the Christian faith and freedom.
“Everybody over the last couple of days has been talking about how Charlie created the greatest youth movement,” Trump said.
“This is transcending not only the youth generation, but also the older generations. This is a hit on our country. It is a hit on our movement. It is a hit on, you know, Christianity. It is a hit on religion. It is a hit on freedom. It’s kind of you know, emphasizes the dichotomy between good and evil in this country,” Trump continued.
Eric explained that the murder of Charlie Kirk actually made the conservative movement bigger.
“This could have been the greatest mistake these people have ever made,” Trump said.
“We’ve all watched this small cabal of people become the loudest voices in the room to try to take down people who they just don’t agree with,” Bartiromo said.
“Are you saying you believe that the movement that Charlie started will only get bigger?” Bartiromo asked.
“Well, it already has,” Trump said.
“My father won the popular vote. My father won every swing state. My father changed, meaning the direction of the voting direction of every state in this nation,” Trump continued.
“That’s because of the work of Charlie Kirk and that’s because of the work of conservatives,” Trump said.
“We were not Joe Biden. We did not hide in basements,” Trump said.
