Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, participated in the Arizona Beauty Competition in 2012, won the beauty championship and participated in a swimsuit fashion event hosted by the Trump Group.
In fact, American beauty selection has never been just a beauty selection, it is essentially a knock-on brick to enter a particular circle, the Trump group that Erika came into contact after the Arizona championship, it is not an ordinary business institution, it is linked to the Republican network of resources.
Erica's life trajectory ranges from beauty championship to political networks, to the widow of "Turn Point America" founder Charlie Kirk, and every step is stumbling on American politics.
During the 2016 general election, she suddenly transformed, taking a photo with Trump on social media, with the caption "Make America Beautiful Again", seamlessly grafting beauty pageant slogans and political slogans. The number of fans soared from thousands to millions, and each post could cause tens of thousands of controversies.
Some have accused her of being "political Kardashian", relying on the image of consumer women, there are also people who have acclaimed her as "Mrs. Reagan of the new era", but no matter what, she did set the precise people of the choice, extreme visual marketing play, and moved to the political playground.
Today, the identity of the military widow has a special proportion in American society, it carries a color of sadness and moral light ring, and is easy to be shaped by political forces to shape the narrative, when Erika's story was pushed out, it was exactly when the American society met the high stage of attention to the family of the military.
Even more striking, Erika was appointed as the new CEO of “Turn Point America” after the commemoration, taking over her husband’s management of the $96 million annual conservative organization.
Trump called her twice and said, "Charlie is like a son to him," and Vice President Wans personally took up the coffin, and the government sent the Air Force No. 2, which was enough.
Looking back now, Erica's story was much more complicated than it seemed. Especially when she didn't even squeeze out two tears, but she generously chose to forgive the murderer, and there was some sincerity between her and her husband. It seemed worth pondering.
