In the recording, the mother of two can be heard discussing with her staff the success of a TPUSA event and the strong sales of associated merchandise. She then appeared to dismiss her husband’s death during the discussion while emphasizing harmony between staff.
Erika Kirk also recently came under fire for including an alleged pedophile pastor in her ongoing Faith Tour.
They deserved each other
The best afterlife gift to your grifter husband: grifting off of his death.
Look, this is gross. I’m no TPUSA apologist, nor am I a fan of the Kirks. But I’ve had major tragedies happen in my life and had to continue work and put on a brace face.
People compartmentalize. People throw themselves into work/causes to separate themselves from the grief.
There is no wrong way to grieve, and it feels twelve types of misogynistic to be like “this woman isn’t an inconsolable sobbing wreck every minute since her husband died!? She must be a sociopath.”
Her politics are despicable, but that doesn’t mean she’s the physical embodiment of Satan himself, and nothing is gained by policing how other people grieve.
This is fair. Many a woman has been trained to cope with stress by smiling or forcing a laugh, as inappropriate as it can be in some contexts.
I’m no fan of either the woman or her preacher business, but I can’t pretend the laugh isn’t a commonplace piece of upbringing for women in conservative or traditional roles.
When your work becomes how to drive profit from the death of someone, anyone, then you are a monster, full stop. I’m not asking her to grieve her shitbag husband. I didn’t. I can’t expect her to. However, when I threw a Charlie Kirk is Dead house party that night, I didn’t charge a cover at the door, either.
That does not sound like a grieving widow.
