'Deeply disappointing': 4 reactions to 2028 trial date for Charlie Kirk's accused killer Tyler Robinson

4. Kristan Hawkins 

In an X post Monday following the judge's announcement, Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins expressed her disappointment in the trial date: “Erika and Charlie’s family deserve speedy justice. This should not be happening.”

Hawkins described Charlie Kirk as a “dear friend” and a “fellow defender of Life” in an SFLA blog post on Sept. 10, 2025, the day of the conservative activist’s assassination at Utah Valley University in Orem. 

“We are praying for Charlie, his wife (Erika), and his family, and ask you all to join us in doing the same,” Hawkins wrote at the time.
