Well she doesn’t have the luxury of staying at home now because her husband was murdered. Someone has to go out earning to support the kids.

Charlie Kirk’s death has led to me finding out there are Groypers. It could be the Groypers. Or anyone from the alt left or alt right.

I tried to understand but I don't even know wtf Twitch is and I'm not a gamer or have kids or a partner that is, so it's too much rabbit holing for me 🫣.
I'll try and YouTube again .

Saw about 20 seconds of it before switching off. Which was more than enough.

20 seconds more than me. Crass from top to bottom.

He wasn't a Christian either so the whole charade is perverse.

Thought Trump was hilarious though when asked "how he was holding up" after the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk; couldn't give a shiny shite about him.

You have to factor in the Russian time difference too, don't forget 😉.

All the christofascist weirdos and bots turn up on Mumsnet after midnight, don't they?

I've read snippets of the eulogies. It sounds like Erika Kirk is going to become some kind of figurehead, and all the men are trying to out-Christian each other.

The OP is better than Charlie Kirk was. Most people are.

If someone is going to play a part in trying to end democracy, they can't expenct to receive kind words from the people whose basic rights they tried to trample over.

I can appreciate that sometimes people with views that I find deplorable will win at the ballot box. That's a free and fair society for you. If you don't believe in a free and fair society, and try to end it...yeah, you're an about lowlife (and certainly not a defender of free speech, however your try to advance your brand).

I agree.

And people can praise and eulogize Charlie Kirk all they want. I’m not telling them they are vile and disgusting.

I do think they are misguided in their judgement of his character though.

What is disgusting is claiming that a racist, homophobic misogynist had god on his side.

Yes.

She's been likened to Serena Joy of the Handmaid's Tale 😳.

Exactly my thoughts. Thanks for articulating so much better than I could have done.

She holds several degrees from what I've read. Her husband preached women should only go to college for a 'Mrs' degree and not work. must only apply to other women though. Also he believed women were past their prime after 30, yet married Erika at 32, so again, must apply to other women.

Don't forget she was fully miced up when saying goodbye to his body with camera crew 😳. All that ,while I was recovering from the terrifying revenge speech she made to the nation while the perpetrator was in custody .
She's definitely built different to the rest of us, I'll say that.
And no I won't be silenced by the CK apologists and wont someone think of the children crowd.

You know what’s really interesting?

You actually think you are better than Charlie Kirk.

In spite of this disgusting thread you’ve started.

You actually think you are a better person than he was.

Don’t stop at racist, homophobe and misogynist. Go on - demonstrate to everyone how much of a better person than him you are. What about fascist? Nazi. Transphobe. Islamaphobe.

He really was just the Worst. Person. Ever, eh?

Not you though. You’re great.

Well done you!

Couldn't stand it.

He was a truly dreadful man, and she got engaged to him around the time his organization were ramping up their efforts to assist Trump in trying to overthrow the results of a free and fair election - so I can only assume she's an awful person, too.

Unfortunately, his murder does afford an excellent PR opportunity to the scumbags in Charlie Kirk's orbit - so not only was it wrong in the basis sense that murder is wrong, but it will likely prove terribly counterproductive.

It isn’t difficult, if you can't grasp it I don't think there is any value in spending time explaining it to you.

AIBU, you asked.

What you’re really enjoying is having the opportunity to throw as much abuse and vitriol as you can possibly muster at the man.

It’s a disingenuous question, as you don’t think you’re unreasonable, so why ask?

Yes, you're being unreasonable. My first thought was to ask you to take a day off from being disgusting, just one, but on reflection I'm happy for you and your ilk to carry on as you are. Soon enough you'll desperately need people to vote alongside you. Good luck with that.

One of the most shameful threads I've ever come across. Sticking the boot into a woman with small children whose husband has just been brutally murdered!
Absolutely sickening!

I agree this thread is horrible. This woman has just lost her husband, she is stood on the worlds stage, forgiven his killer and someone has commented on how much make up she wears. Vile.

Quandri · 22/09/2025 00:21

I turned up to my others funeral with the make up on with a trowel. Because I was doing the eulogy and I knew I wouldn’t cry if I had make up on because I’d be affronted to ruin it.

and a sharp black suit and heels coz god love her but she loved a straight skirt and heels.

whats that got to do with the price of fish?

I also turned up to my Dad’s funeral well groomed. Out of respect for my Dad.

How is one supposed to do grief correctly?
