UVU student asks Erika Kirk if she will condemn Trump's 'violent rhetoric'

Erika Kirk condemned political violence and called for shared responsibility during her first major TV interview after her husband’s killing, aired on CBS News Presents.

  • On Saturday night, Erika Kirk rejected political violence on a prime-time CBS town hall, saying she `will never agree with political violence` in her first major non-cable interview since her husband's killing.

  • As CBS defines 'the new CBS News', the response suggests audiences and advertisers watch closely while Kirk urged parents and the public to `step up` and `look in the mirror`.
