Erika Kirk cites Nehemiah to push back against conspiracy theories: 'I am busy building'

Erika Kirk, the widow of the late Charlie Kirk, cited the prophet Nehemiah on Wednesday to push back against conspiracy theories that have swirled about her late husband's assassination three months ago.

Asked by Fox News' "Outnumbered" host Harris Faulkner to respond to those who have questioned the story behind Kirk's murder or where he is buried, Erika cited the story of the Old Testament prophet, who fielded deception and slander from those attempting to discourage him from rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem.

Nehemiah repeatedly rebuffed his detractors as he continued the work to which the Lord called him, which Erika said inspired her to press forward with the work of continuing her husband's legacy while ignoring naysaying voices.

"It reminds me so much of Chapter 6 in the book of Nehemiah," she said. "He is building a wall, and the townspeople are at the base of that hill, saying 'Nehemiah' — calling him all these names, saying all these things — 'Come on down.'"
