Tim Allen Makes Jaw-Dropping Announcement After Inspiration From Erika Kirk
Legendary “Home Improvement” lead man Tim Allen made a startling confession he could no longer hold back after watching the tearful goodbye Erika Kirk gave to her husband.
Allen, 72, was overwhelmed by the emotion at Sunday’s gathering in Glendale, Ariz., where more than 200,000 fans of the late Charlie Kirk gathered with his wife, President Trump, and a bevy of speakers to pay their respects to the Turning Point USA founder.
On social media, the former TV star revealed that Erika’s stunning forgiveness of the man who killed her husband compelled him to forgive the man who killed his father decades ago, saying her moment of public vulnerability “deeply affected” him.
“When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband — ‘That man … that young man … I forgive him’ — that moment deeply affected me,” Allen wrote on X.
“I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all,” he continued.
Allen was just 11 years old when his father, Gerald M. Dick, was hit by a drunk driver in 1964, killing him instantly, Fox News reported.

At Kirk’s funeral service, Erika spoke about her acceptance of his death and expressed her desire to forgive Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect who is charged with his death.
Charlie “wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life,” she said.
“Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That young man … I forgive him,” Erika said. “I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.”
Erika told the New York Times that she would not push for the death penalty, which prosecutors have vowed to pursue.
Robinson faces numerous charges, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and violent offense in the presence of a child.
“I do not want that man’s blood on my ledger,” she shared. “Because when I get to heaven, and Jesus is like, ‘Uh, eye for an eye? Is that how we do it?’ And that keeps me from being in heaven, from being with Charlie?”
Following his death, Erika was appointed CEO of Turning Point USA, a sprawling organization dedicated to cultivating activism among young conservatives. She inherits an $85 million annual budget and 3,000 campus chapters that will look to her and Turning Point’s board of directors as the movement charts a new course without its founder.
