Charlie Kirk as a martyr



“… Anthony Pough wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday that Kirk had "spewed hate and racism on his show ... at the end of the day, you answer to GOD, and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesnt leave."“
 


Sounds like this employee was not acting in accordance with company policy, so not questioning firing, just noting it because it’s getting a lot of right wing attention.
 


I agree with Walsh here — a grieving widow should get some space to grieve but this was a political and intentionally divisive speech … I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t write it but in the end she delivered it.
 


This response should be unbelievable but it is representative of the alternate universe constructed by propaganda that some people choose to live in:

She'll be stepping up it would appear.
 
I feel sad for her as I would feel for any widow and mother of children who lost a husband and father so senselessly and so prematurely. And I understand that often times the grieving process involves lashing out. But she is using the exact kind of language that apparently turned her husband into target practice for a deranged lunatic. Very irresponsible IMO.

TBH, I worry for her that someone in power foisted that speech on her and perhaps in her grief she is not seeing clearly how divisive that passage of the speech is. I could certainly see that. OTOH, she is an adult who chose to marry Charlie Kirk, so these may be her personal beliefs that she wrote in order to be sure to express them. 🤷‍♀️

I heard on CNN a weird story about how she and Kirk told by a family friend / pastor who seemed to think it was a great story of how they were meant for each other. Apparently she applied for a competitive position at TPUSA and put a lot of effort into it, talking endlessly to friends and family how much she wanted the job. She made the final interview stage and spent a lot of time prepping for the final interview with Kirk himself.

Their interview turned into a wide ranging conversation that lasted over two and a half hours and she thought it went really well. Then Kirk shocks her by saying Ericka, I can’t hire you — because I want to date you. She apparently told friends afterward she didn’t know what to make of it but the speaker said happily the rest is history and they ended up married with a beautiful family.

That story seemed kind of awful (the no job b/c I want to date you part) to me but seemed to delight the guy telling it.
 
I receive daily emails from several substack reporters.
This is yesterday's from Zeteo:

Charlie Kirk in His Own Words​

17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.​


Black people​

  • “Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.” ()

Black pilots​

  • “If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, ’Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’” ()

Black women​

  • “They're coming out, and they're saying, 'I'm only here because of affirmative action.' Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously." ()

Civil rights​

  • “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.” ()

Death penalty​

  • "[Death penalties] should be public, should be quick, should be televised… I think at a certain age, it’s an initiation… At what age should you start to see public executions?"

Democrats​

  • “The Democrat Party supports everything that God hates.”

Empathy​

  • "I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up new age term that does a lot of damage."

Feminism​

  • “Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge."

Gay people​

  • “You might want to crack open that Bible of yours. In a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture, is in Leviticus 18 is that, ‘thou shalt lay with another man shall be stoned to death.’ Just sayin’! So Miss Rachel, you quote Leviticus 19… the chapter before affirms God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”

George Floyd​

  • “This guy was a scumbag.”

Great Replacement Theory​

  • “It's not a Great Replacement Theory, it's a Great Replacement Reality. Just this year, 3.6 million foreigners will invade America. 10-15 million will enter by the end of Joe Biden's term. Each will probably have 3-5 kids on average while native born Americans have 1.5 per couple. You are being replaced, by design.”

Guns​

  • “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.”

Jews​

  • “Jewish donors have been the number one funding mechanism of radical open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews and now it’s coming for Jews, and they're like, ‘What on Earth happened?’ And it's not just the colleges. It's the nonprofits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it.”

Martin Luther King Jr.​

  • “MLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

Muslims​

  • “They aren’t even hiding their intentions. Muslims plan to conquer Europe by demographic replacement. Will Europe wake up in time?”

Palestine​

  • “I don’t think the place exists.”

Transgender people​

  • “You’re an abomination to God.”
