Charlie Kirk Eulogy

I mean, his response to the Uvalde shooting and George Floyd’s murder showed how much respect he had (or lacked) for grieving family members.

he was debating political views, not judging someone on the way they grieve a lost loved one.

Yet absolutely nothing is off limits for him and his ilk? Freedom of speech only works one way apparently

Very odd indeed.

Obviously everyone grieves differently but the videos she’s been producing are just grotesque. I’m pretty sure I saw a video of one of their daughters singing a song to his body last night. I mean wtf?

Compare her to some of the other public widows with young children, and it’s clear she just sees this as an opportunity to make money.

I don’t think we should be judging how someone else is grieving. I abhor their poltics but this this swipe is a new low.

it’s a disgusting thread, but it also adds fuel to the movement too. The heads of Turning Point are thinking Let them Speak!

She married someone who was perhaps (outside of the administration itself) the leading voice in the election denialism movement.

That's concrete enough for me.

This thread says a lot about the OP. But it's not good.

So you’ll assume she’s an awful person based on what concrete evidence? Rather than facts that she’s clearly not awful - she has forgiven her husbands murderer and expressed she doesn’t want the death penalty for him, she also was pleased there hadn’t been riots or protests in her husband’s name. That’s not an awful person .

Quite definitely my dear.

Just because he got killed it doesn't suddenly make him a good person. Vile people get killed too.

I don't even know @MrsSkylerWhite
And yet I know that yes, she is a better person than Charlie Kirk was.
Simply by the fact that she objects to his views, this tells me she is a better person than he was.

Maybe you could try?

I’m sure you do.

I think she was persuaded to make that speak a couple of days after his death. The words don’t fit with how she must have been feeling. I think it was written for her. For some people makeup is an armour. I am against what she and her husband stood for but I wouldn’t knock her after seeing the footage of his death. Regardless of his views, his death was horrific.
I disagree with him being made a martyr though. I only saw snippets of footage of the memorial though. But don’t kick her when she is in the floor; otherwise we are no better than Trump’s words.

Why would you watch it anyway, or was it so you could run to MN and post about it

Financially, she’ll be fine. Charlie left her ‘a multi million dollar political juggernaut with chapters around the country’ Erika is CEO of Turning Point now

The whole thing is bat shit crazy.. Charlie Kirks widow hanging onto Trump?
Ugh..

And this is what happens when people are radicalised enough to dehumanise others.

We all recognise it when it happens on the far right, but I"ve been horrified to see a frightening amount of fellows on the left unable to see the bitter twisted hatred in themselves.

To the point of openly enjoying mocking a young mother at her husbands funeral for wearing too much makeup, and for not grieving properly (almost identical to those attacking Madelines mother).

I'd say you should feel shame, but as you are akin in radicalisation to the racist skin heads who use to beat my father up, I already understand that you will never look inside yourselves and realise, you are rotten inside.

Stephen Miller was like listening to a Nazi official.

The whole thing was sickening. I'll leave Kirk's wife out of it, but the rest of them have no excuse at all.

I hope He does a better job than with her husband...

I agree. I didn’t agree with most of what Charlie Kirk said or believed, but one thing I cannot stand is when people try and say things like ‘oh i’d never get out of bed again’ etc. Like their grief would be far worse. The worst one is when someone loses a child and you see people in comments on social media say they are so strong as I wouldn’t have been able to go on if I lost my child. I hate that. Stop making these kind of comments, grief is not a competition for mourners.

Everyone copes differently and Erika Kirk is clearly a strong stoic woman, who is well versed already in public speaking. When I delivered my dad’s eulogy without a tear, people said oh I couldn’t have done it, i’d have been a wreck. We are all different, and for me, I couldn’t have let a stranger stand up there and talk to the mourners about my dad. But i’d have never said that to someone who chose to do that. We are all different. Let Erika Kirk deal with it in their own way without judgement.

She worked, she had a job.

She clearly put herself together to put her best foot forward to eulogise her husband. Whatever else you think of her the woman has a spine and she was doing her best. I have a lot of respect for someone with the self control to get through that. I’d be a snivelling wreck.

Your comment is really quite cruel.

I’d never heard of him until he was murdered, which I think was awful, I do not agree that he should have been murdered, nor do I celebrate it, however, I have since looked him up, watch video and interviews etc. What is it that people liked about him? He was awful, his views were awful, does he get a pass because he was a Christian? Imo Christians don’t spread hate and division - if he were an Arab or a black man he would have been absolutely vilified and deffo not used by the Government. TP seems very cult like to me.
