JD Vance, the Vice President, is set to appear alongside Erika Kirk at the University of Mississippi, colloquially known as Ole Miss, on October 29.
This announcement was made by Andrew Kolvet, the executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, during a recent episode where Vance was a guest. "So you are actually going to be joining Erika Kirk on our campus tour. This is gonna be a big one," Kolvet stated.
According to The Post Millennial, Kolvet further elaborated on the upcoming event, saying, "You guys are going to be at Ole Miss together, and its going to be Erikas only appearance on the tour. I mean, we really, you know, we thought about suggesting to her to do more, and its just, she needs time.
She needs time. But she wanted to make it a priority to be at this one, and youre making it a priority to be at this one." He estimated that the event would attract between 9,000 and 10,000 attendees.
Erika Kirk, the wife of the late Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was recently appointed as the board chair and CEO of the organization following her husband's tragic assassination in September. She was at the White House on Wednesday to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded posthumously to her husband.
During Charlie Kirk's memorial in late September, Vance addressed the large crowd in Arizona, saying, "He was taken from us by those who despise the virtues that actually made our civilization great to begin with. Dialogue, truth-seeking, family, and faith. In the wake of his death, we have seen some of the very worst parts of humanity. We have watched people slander him. We have watched people justify his murder and celebrate his death. I know that this makes you angry just as it has made me angry. But it is easy in these moments to see only the worst of our fellow man."
Vance continued, I think he would encourage me to be honest that evil still walks among us. Not to ignore it for the sake of a fake kumbaya moment, but to address it head on and honestly as the sickness that it is. But I also think he would encourage me, he would encourage all of us to focus on the good... He would tell me to put on the full armor of God and get back to work. He would tell us to commit ourselves to telling the truth and to fight for that truth each and every single day. He would tell us to talk about Gods love and the fact that that love applied to everybody across the whole human family.
Vance concluded his speech with a powerful message, Charlie suffered a terrible fate, my friends. We all know it. We all saw it. But think, it is not the worst fate. It is better to face a gunman than to live your life afraid to speak the truth. It is better to be persecuted for your faith than to deny the kingship of Christ. It is better to die a young man in this world than to sell your soul for an easy life with no purpose, no risk, no love, and no truth. Christ told us in the Gospel of John, I have said these things to you that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart, I have overcome the world. Charlie took heart, and now we must do the same. As this story continues to develop, further updates will be provided.
