At Charlie Kirk’s funeral, Erika Kirk made a hand gesture that left many people confused. The moment took place during the memorial service when Erika joined President Donald Trump on stage. After Trump spoke and comforted her with a hug, Erika pointed toward a large photo of Charlie Kirk and formed a hand gesture — extending her index finger, pinky finger, and thumb while keeping the middle and ring fingers down.
The gesture quickly sparked debate on social media. Many interpreted it as the “YO” sign, while others suggested it was the “rock on” or “devil horns” symbol. Some on X (formerly Twitter) even suggested it could mean “47,” in reference to support for a future Trump presidency, while others linked it to the American Sign Language (ASL) sign for “I love you” (ILY).
“YO” sign ✌️
“Rock on” / Devil horns 🤘
“I Love You” in ASL ❤️
“47” — a nod to a future Trump presidency
One Twitter user wrote:
“Sorry, but why did Erika make the devil horn hand gesture at the end with Trump? I watched the entire memorial — the speeches were heartfelt — but why that? It wasn’t a rock concert. I’m truly perplexed.”
While the exact meaning remains unclear, the gesture is most commonly recognized as either the “rock on” sign or the “I love you” sign in ASL, depending on interpretation.
