Reactions trail Charlie Kirk's wife's tearful speech
@johnnys1967 said:
"The only one who really mourned about Charlie was Candace, all the others (including his wife) have this fake sadness which is really disturbing."
@Sonia said:
"What happened to Charlie is not ok. But there’s something off about this lady. It’s like she’s acting out every scene she’s ever seen in a movie .Where’s Candace? I wanna hear what she has to say. Was she invited?"
@Matt M said:
"Why is everyone hating a woman of faith that’s grieving? She’s stronger than most for forgiving him."
@Amy said:
"Erika Kirk forgives her husband's killer-thats real strength, choosing love over hate.
@LEXI said:
"For u guys saying “she’s faking it, fake tears” she js lost her HUSBAND, the father of her children, and the love of her life, do yk how much she has been struggling in silence? leave her alone. u don’t have to liek charlie kirk to recognize his family members grieving. so disrespectful."
@Mama on maternity leave said:
"I can’t speak for Erika Kirk but I believe that she hasn’t truly grasped that her husband is gone yet. It has only been 1.5 weeks since he was assassinated. She’s going through the motions. A lot has been thrown at her, while she grieves. Those that are questioning her sincerity need more compassion. Whether she truly feels it in her heart or not, I think she knows that the right thing to do is to forgive. Her strength comes from the Holy Spirit. Continue to pray for her."
