Claim:
Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk said, “To those who killed my husband…Charlie Kirk…and who wish to undo his righteous work…I say to them…you will NEVER be able to purchase this limited edition set of Charlie Kirk dishware for only $39.99 or, if you call now, only $24.99 WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.”

A rumor that circulated online in late December 2025 claimed Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, promoted a sale on “Charlie Kirk dishware” while blasting her husband’s killer or killers, as well as anyone who stood against his political and religious preachings.
For example, on Dec. 21, X user @Jesse_Brenneman posted (archived), “Erika Kirk: ‘To those who killed my husband…Charlie Kirk…and who wish to undo his righteous work…I say to them…you will NEVER be able to purchase this limited edition set of Charlie Kirk dishware for only $39.99 or, if you call now, only $24.99 WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.'”

Users shared the same quote, or a similar one, on Bluesky (archived), Facebook (archived), Instagram (archived), Threads (archived) and X (archived).
In short, the quote was incorrectly attributed to Erika Kirk. She did not promote “Charlie Kirk dishware.”
Snopes contacted Turning Point USA to ask if it wished to comment about the fake quote. We also contacted @Jesse_Brenneman on X to ask if the user created the quote or if it originated from someone else’s post. We will update this story if we receive further information.
According to users’ comments under posts, the fabricated quote originated as one of several joking criticisms — including some edited or inauthentic videos — about clips of Erika Kirk recorded following her husband’s fatal shooting. Instagram and TikTok users, and others, commonly referenced the matter as her “grieving tour,” specifically pertaining to her use of sparkling pyrotechnics at public appearances.
The fake quote first made the rounds one day after Erika Kirk’s flub of the word “grit,” mistakenly referencing her late husband’s work as a “grift” — a common charge made by critics of both Charlie and Erika Kirk.
For further reading, we previously investigated whether Erika Kirk launched a $175 million charity project for a Chicago boarding school named The Kirk Academy of Hope.
