The evil-doers for my husbands assassination have no idea what they have done, she said in a livestream on the YouTube page of Turning Point USA, the conservative movement her husband started out of high school in Illinois that has since swept college campuses around the nation.

(9,223 posts)She does not actually have to step out of the Trad Wife roll the magas want to push. Her kids will remain housed and fed. Not all mothers can say the same. But, the Kirk Family Business might be too profitable to walk away from.
Understandable she is deeply hurt losing her spouse. It happens to about half of us, but maybe not violently. I even understand some anger, tho people of her political ilk seem to be over-steeped in anger to the point they actively seek (whether they realize it of not) reasons to be perpetually pissed off. She probably could do with therapy.
But it was a guy on HER side of the political spectrum who killed her husband so why is she going to war against those of us who want civility and sensible gun safety laws? Where was her fury at the people who killed school kids over the decades? Where are her 'Christian values' when, over and over, her desire for an unfettered 2nd Amendment is paid for with the blood of innocents.
I do not grieve for her husband, having lived long and seen this too many times. I do hope she is bright enough to get counseling to get thru this trauma and over her irrational butt hurt at the people who did NOT kill her spouse. It would be helpful for her children if she got therapy. It might even be helpful for her, if she took real help to heart. But I have lived long and am not holding my breath that she has the kind of courage required to take a long hard look at reality of how, and who, sets the conditions for this senseless violence.

(24,308 posts)My guess is that Bannon got to her, directly or indirectly, because if you've seen any remarks he's made on this, they're virtually identical.
I'm obviously not going to share Bannon on DU. Let's just say it's what she said, but coming from a scabby, unkempt, unwashed drunk uncle.

I think we made need to point out the background, assuming nothing contradicts it) to OTHER people calling out the left or not specifying. A grieving widow should get a pass.
It should be also noted that as we mostly stayed silent or offered sympathy to his family, while on the right there was at least as much a call against colleges and the left as mourning.

She means retribution for the left. Doubt she would ever be convinced - or rather, admit to - one of their own killed her her husband. She is a Christan Nationalist "warrior".

In her first social media post, Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirks wife, posts video and photos from the last 48 hours and she adds:
They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband's mission was big now you have no idea.
You. All of you. Will never. Ever. Forget my husband Charlie Kirk I'll make sure of it.
Oh, and the MAGAts are flooding this multimillionaire with more millions.....over 5 million as of yesterday

(34,344 posts)And $he'$ not going to let them forget it. Cha-ching.
BTW, she's wearing his "wedding" ring together with hers on her right hand to make sure that she got the correct camera angle. Otherwise, she'd have to be on the other side of the coffin with the lid shut and might have to shed real tears.
I don't care who thinks what about this. I think she's just another psychopath grifter. Prove me wrong.
It's probably the most choreographed expression of "grief" I've ever seen.
Characteristics of Psychopaths
1. Aggressive, callous, and cunning
2. Complete absence of conscience and empathy
3. Very adept at manipulating others
4. Willingness to engage in immoral, criminal conduct
5. Willingness to take what they want and do as they please, regardless of who is hurt or wronged
6. Deceptive ability to appear outwardly benevolent
7. Deceptive ability to behave in superficially charming ways to hide purely selfish motives
8. Willingness to use intimidation and violence to control others in order to satisfy their own needs
9. Willingness to intentionally violate the basic inherent human rights of others
10. Complete absence of any sense of guilt or remorse for the harm their actions have caused to others
11. Rationalization of their own immoral behavior
12. Will attempt to lay blame upon someone else for their own conduct
13. Denial, will deny their own wrongdoing outright
14. Utter contemptuousness toward the feelings and desires of their fellow beings
15. Pathological lying, will say anything without any concern for truth to advance their own hidden agendas
16. Ablity to feign [fake] normal human emotions and empathy
17. Distorted sense of the consequences of their actions
18. Total failure to accept any responsibility for their own socially irresponsible ways
19. Strong bellef that they will never be brought to justice for their criminal behavior

There are many more people who exist that are unable to process genuine emotions than one would expect. Conversely, not everyone is gullible.

She just filmed his DEAD body from the midsection. If she wanted to part ways with Kirk on the gun issue and show how the gun had torn up his neck, that would be one thing.

(4,108 posts)That is the grieving widow? Politicizing the murder of her own husband? Threatening the millions of people who don't agree with her politics? Using her dead husband this way?
So, we are supposed to feel sympathy or her while she wants to harm all of us? WTF?
This is insane.
