Charlie Kirks wife forgives the killer

To people who said her husband was hateful and what they preached was hateful, she just forgave the killer, as God would. Powerful speech.

The messed up young man who thought shooting man he didn't like was the answer, will go to prison and no longer be with his boyfriend. Erika Kirk no longer has her husband and her children have list their father.

Have you got a link to her speech OP? The above link is a long live feed.

Sorry, I watched it on Sky News.

If you have access to Sky News, I imagine they will run it again.

Her forgiveness is purely lip service.

If it makes you feel better Trump doesn't agree with her forgiving the killer. Its her words. Her choice. Some/many Christians do believe in forgiveness.

Well she's preaching forgiveness.

I've no idea how's she coping, day to day, I imagine, I feel sympathy for a woman who has had her husband and the father of her children murdered.

I'm posting how a woman who has had her husband killed just gave an emotional speech and forgave the killer. You might not think that is much, its a massive thing to do, many couldn't do that.

Amazing lady.

I wouldn't class a woman who supported a man that said he would force his 10 year old daughter to carry her rapists baby to term if she was raped as an "amazing woman".

InterestedDad37 · 21/09/2025 23:47

👏 Fair play to her, she's changed from her initial (grieving) anger.
I'm an atheist and I think some of Kirk's views were abhorrent, but she's done this in the name of her faith, and so 👏👏 credit where it's due.

A remarkable memorial.

SapphOhNo · 21/09/2025 23:46

Awful politicised spectacle.

You are very combative, are you OK?

It must have taken a lot for her to forgive the killer, she is devastated having lost the love of her life. Impossible to imagine what she is going through.

No no no, don't be disingenuous. You started yoir original post with "To people who said her husband was hateful and what they preached was hateful"

So what is it you're trying to say. Because he was hateful. That does not change.

And for what it's worth, she is just being puppeted by Trump's rancid regime. She doesn't get to choose what she says any more than she did when Kirk was alive.

Anyone who thinks this whole thing isn’t an utter pageant is absolutely naive.

Why are you posting this? What are you hoping to achieve?

Quite. On that note, why SKY appear to be devoting so much coverage to this is beyond me.

I forgive Charlie for this hateful views and I forgive his wife for happily profiting off those hateful views

He's dead, he was shot, she's in mourning but also forgiveness.

So? Doesn't change what he was or the appalling views he held.

Well yes, a prison sentence is the usual alternative to the death sentence.

Maybe he will come to see killing isn't the answer.

She is kinder than me. I would be looking to burn the world down.

I imagine many would be very angry, seeking revenge etc.

Chucpe.

Kirk was hateful in the name of his god and now his wife talks about forgiveness in the name of the very same god.

Given her current elevated status and her influence, I would imagine her views would be taken seriously.

True forgiveness should rule out the eye for an eye approach, that's so OT.
