Emotional Interview on Fox News
During the interview, Jesse played several video clips of Charlie. Upon seeing one of them, Erika could not contain her emotions.
“It is the longest video I’ve watched of him since he passed. Just give me a second,”
she said, lowering her head as she wept. Jesse quietly comforted her:
“Take your time.”
The broadcast briefly faded to black as Erika tried to regain composure. When she returned, she appeared calmer but still visibly moved.
Remembering Charlie’s Life and Mission
Jesse later asked her about Charlie’s purpose and their shared journey.
“Charlie was on a mission to save Western civilization. Did you know that's what you signed up for?”
Erika smiled through tears and replied:
“No, I did not sign up for anything. I just married the love of my life.”
The Day Before the Tragedy
Recalling the day before the shooting, Erika described plans that now linger painfully in her memory.
“He was at the office, and we were going to meet for dinner beforehand with a dear friend of ours, who I wanted to be with us and pray with us before the event,”
she said, her voice soft but steady.
