Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, described him as a "perfect" husband and father, and said the "evildoers" who assassinated him have no idea what they have unleashed.

"You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife, the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry," she said on Friday in her first public remarks since the assassination .

"If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world, you have no idea."

Mrs Kirk addressed the public after a silent prayer from the studio where her husband recorded his podcast.
