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.

Did you read the title. His wife talked of God and forgiveness. That's not hateful.

That is her. Not him. They are/ were different people.

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

What's your point? Her forgiving the killer doesnt make any of his vile viewpoints go away does it

Who knows. I doubt its up to her. However, to publicly say she forgives the killer.... many would struggle to do that.

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.

Thats her, not him. He was categorically hateful.

I hope that means she'll also ask for the death penalty to be taken off the table.

He WAS hateful. Doesn't make it right that he was murdered, but he was genuinely an extremist with vile views.

Both can be true at the same time. Hope that helps.
