Charlie Kirks wife forgives the killer

Hmm, Maybe her marketing team advised her that her first speech, declaring retribution, wasn't such a great look.
This is a big step in the right direction.

I hope she now campaigns for an end to guns, the acceptance of those with alternative lifestyles (love they neighbour as thyself) and an end to the death penalty (Let he who is without sin cast the first stone).

So, how many videos of Charlie's have you actually watched? I'll repeat my question to each and every one who claims he was hateful.

If you want to know what truth is read the Bible.

@Calmomiletea forcing a woman to carry and birth the product of rape is, in my opinion, hateful. To expect that of your own daughter defies belief but he was very clear that is how he felt.

Face the truth (whatever that means)

But you didn't frame it as his movement, it we are all, or all Republicans are hateful.

You said for people who said he was hateful. It's a faulty premise. Nothing his wife does after his death can make him more or less hateful.

In the same way I can't say that his wife's turning point USA branded message last week after his death proves that something he said 2 years ago is now objectively hateful and disingenuous and that it proves it was all a facade to profit off fundamentist Christian fear.

So you can't set up a combative "debate me" premise of "how stupid do you all feel now for saying this" and then retreat to the safety of "all I'm saying is people called her hateful and look at her forgiveness" when posters engage with the premise you elected to put forward.

It's so true. And all of those who will wrongly claim he was a fascist seem to not know that Charlie called for the opposite of fascism, he was all about open dialogue and debate.

Define this "truth" of which you speak.

Pity that Trump is hijacking all the love and light to make one of his rambling and frankly hate filled speeches.

How many videos of Charlie's did you ever watch? The only way someone could equate what Charlie said as hateful is if they simply didn't agree with what he said. Such people confuse telling the truth with hate, which is actually the opposite of what it is: telling the truth when people will hate you for it is actually love. That's what CK sacrificed himself for, so that people like you who would hate him could hear the truth.

Face the truth.

Once again, this does not seem in any way to be suitable for the AIBU forum.

But I will just add that whatever she is saying now, in her grand-standing show, with her comparing herself to God, as you indicate - I can also tell you that in her first speech, last week, the words and tone were quite threatening - not toward the shooter, but toward all Democrats/Liberals.

Don’t think I have seen anyone think it was right he was murdered. But him being murdered doesn’t change the fact he had some pretty awful views.

Surely the point the poster was making is that anything his wife does, good, bad or indifferent, does not posthumously alter what her husband did.

So the premise of "for those of you who said x about him, his wife doing Y proves you wrong" is fundamentally flawed as the two are not linked.

Someone could logically say he was hateful and preached hate and be correct from a logical consistency POV and his wife could be the ultimate example of b forgiveness. One does not preclude the other.

So the issue is with your setup of "her forgiveness proves you wrong" rather than people arguing that she can't be forgiving

Sure.
Or a lady with an agenda.

His murder has really brought home to me that so many seem to accept murder as acceptable/understandable.
I read an article which explained his murder in terms of the rise of fascism and it was Kirk who was described as the fascist not the murderer.We're living in very strange times.

She is - and her late husband was - a conservative Christian influencer. A key tenet of Christianity is forgiving those who sin against us. It’s hardly surprising that she’s professing one of the key tenets of her faith.

Also, your choice of language - ‘many would struggle to do that’ - suggests that this is something that should be aimed for. But if you’re not a Christian, there’s no theological/ideological compulsion for you to forgive someone who has committed terrible crimes against you, so if it’s not going to bring you any peace, why would it be something to aim for?
