Turning Point USA was shocked by a false report that Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, would be accepting a posthumous award on behalf of her late husband.
The Israeli Government had incorrectly shared this information with The Jerusalem Post, which was then reported in an article about the Christian Media Summit 2025.
The Christian Media Summit is an annual event hosted by the Israeli government, aiming to foster a stronger relationship between Christians and the State of Israel. The event brings together 150 top-tier Christian news executives and public opinion leaders from around the world.
The award was to be presented during the Christian Media Summit 2025, but the Israeli Government Press Office had incorrectly stated that Erika Kirk would be receiving the award via video chat.
The false report was later corrected, but not before causing confusion and shock among those associated with Turning Point USA.
