He didn&#8217;t care what religion you were. He loved excellence,&#8221; she said, adding that &#8220;his favorite word was &#8216;earn&#8217; &#8230; He loved knowing that people worked hard to earn what they got.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said she didn&#8217;t know the context of the &#8220;gun deaths&#8221; quote but said, &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot more there than just that one little sentence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My husband is not to be deteriorated to two sentences,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He&#8217;s not. He is a thought leader, and he was brilliant of a man. So that&#8217;s fine if you want to take words out of his mouth or out of context without the whole thing in perspective, but that&#8217;s the problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Erika Kirk talks more about her husband, her journey through faith and grief, and the state of the American right in a CBS News town hall.
