By David Edwards
Published March 10, 2026 1:46 PM ET

President Donald Trump has appointed Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, to be one of 16 people to sit on the Air Force Academy's Board of Visitors.

As a board member, Erika Kirk will make recommendations to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about potential changes at the Air Force Academy. Her husband also served on the board before being assassinated.

"It's imperative that these cadets know that we are the greatest nation ever," Charlie Kirk said during an August board meeting before his death.

Now Erica gets the job.

Trump appointed a whole gang of unqualified and/or people of dubious ethics to positions on this board for each of the 4 branches of the military. Biden replaced them all. Now Trump has removed them, and put his people in once again.
He claimed the military was too "woke".

Only brain dead zombie trump humpers need apply.

Erika Kirk is a Jesus hire.

There's a years-long campaign afoot to turn the US Air Force into a hotbed of Christian extremism. Before Kirk was turned into the Patron Saint of Evangelical Christianity, Trump had him on the Board of Visitors. Now that Kirk is gone, Trump's only choice was to put the Widow Kirk - who may be even more religiously evil than Charlie was - on the Board in his place.
