Is there social media or photo/video evidence showing Erika Kirk selling items at the funeral?

1. Leaked audio exists — but it’s not the same as visual proof of sales

Multiple outlets have reported on leaked audio, released by Candace Owens, of Erika Kirk speaking to Turning Point USA staff and referencing merchandise sales and fundraising in the days following Charlie Kirk’s memorial, and those clips are the primary new material driving the controversy ^{[3] [1] [4]}. Those audio reports establish that conversations about donations, attendance metrics and merchandise took place, but audio saying sales occurred or were tracked does not, by itself, provide photographic or video evidence that Erika Kirk was personally selling items at the memorial site or that people were operating a sales table that can be seen in social media imagery ^{[3] [1]}.

2. Photo searches and reporting found branded clothing on attendees but not sales stations

At least one fact‑check style article and photo review noted that photographs from Charlie Kirk’s memorial show attendees wearing Turning Point‑style shirts that later appeared on the organization’s online store, but the same reporting says journalists could not identify any physical sales stations or vendors in those images and found “no tangible proof of anyone selling the products at the memorial” ^[2]. That distinction matters: branded apparel worn by mourners can be evidence of purchased items in circulation, but not proof that Erika Kirk or others were vending merchandise on site or that social media contains a video of such activity ^[2].

3. News coverage conflates merchandising discussion with onsite commercial activity

Several stories have framed the leak and subsequent pushback as commercialization of mourning, citing Erika Kirk’s remarks about “attendance numbers” and merchandise in a way that suggests impropriety ^[3]. Other reports emphasize context or defend her tone as organizational pride rather than a literal depiction of selling at the memorial ^[3]. The reporting available shows a narrative gap: strong audio evidence of discussion about merch and donations, but no cited photographic or video documentation from social platforms showing Erika Kirk actively selling items at the funeral ^{[3] [1]}.

4. Alternative claims exist online but are not substantiated in the referenced reporting

Some outlets and social‑media narratives have amplified claims that the Kirk family was “selling merch ahead of the funeral” or that Erika Kirk profited at the event, yet the reporting supplied here either hedges those claims or explicitly notes absence of evidence linking Erika Kirk to online listings or to physical sales at the memorial ^{[5] [2]}. Where the sources identify a lack of visual proof, they also leave open the possibility that additional imagery could exist outside their searches; the reporting does not claim exhaustive coverage of every social account ^[2].

5. Bottom line and limitations of the public record

Based on the articles and photo reviews provided, the public record contains leaked audio of Erika Kirk discussing merchandise and fundraising after the memorial and images of attendees wearing branded items, but none of these sources presents a social‑media post, photograph, or video that shows Erika Kirk personally selling items at the funeral or a visible sales table clearly tied to her ^{[1] [2] [3]}. This conclusion is limited to the reporting supplied; the sources do not assert they searched every post or account, so absence of evidence in these stories is not an absolute proof that no such imagery exists anywhere, only that it has not been documented in the cited coverage ^[2].
