Remember, before commenting, that the far right, including Reform UK, seeks to get rid of the online safety bill and let anyone say what they want no matter the consequences.
In a meticulously staged display of bereavement that blended political rally with daytime soap opera, Erika Kirk, the newly widowed wife of assassinated conservative agitator Charlie Kirk, addressed a rapt nation yesterday, describing her late husband as “flawless” and confessing she “simply cannot wait to get down there to be with him again.”
Remembering Charlie Kirk
Mrs Kirk, speaking from the soundproofed studio where her husband once recorded podcasts for his organisation, Turning Point USA, warned the “evildoers” responsible that they had “no idea what they have unleashed.”
“You have no conception of the fire you have ignited within this wife,” she declared, her voice a tremulous weapon. “The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a particularly persistent battle cry played on a loop. If you thought my husband’s mission of owning the libs was powerful before, you have no idea. You’ve essentially supercharged it with martyrdom. It’s a terrible business model decision on your part, really.”
After a moment of silent prayer—which observers noted was strategically timed for optimum camera angles—Mrs Kirk offered profuse thanks to former President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance and his “phenomenal, and frankly, very on-brand wife, Usha,” for their support. She also gave a shout-out to the emergency services who had “acted with tremendous bravery, if ultimately disappointing efficiency.”
“Charlie always said if he ever ran for office, his top priority would be to revive the American family,” she stated, painting a picture of domestic bliss seemingly at odds with a man whose primary hobby was ideological combat. “But most of all, Charlie loved his children. And he loved me. With all his heart. He made sure I knew that every day, usually via a scheduled text message between podcast segments.”
Fighting back what appeared to be a single, photogenic tear, she called him a “perfect father and husband,” a description that would surprise anyone familiar with his public persona of a man who considered compromise a mortal sin.
In a poignant moment, she shared an anecdote about their three-year-old daughter. “She ran into my arms and asked, ‘Where’s daddy?’” Mrs Kirk revealed, pausing for effect. “What does one tell a three-year-old? One doesn’t get into the complexities of political violence and the grisly details of a public shooting. One simply says, “Daddy has gone to a better place,” to trigger the liberals for all eternity.”
She concluded her remarks not with a call for national healing, but with a direct address to her departed husband, vowing to never let his legacy die and to make his movement the “biggest thing this nation has ever seen, bigger than Apple, bigger than baseball.”
Then, gazing heavenward before apparently reconsidering the celestial logistics, she finished: “I can’t wait to see you again one day, my love. I’ll be counting the minutes until I can join you downstairs. God bless you all, and may God bless America.”
She then exited the stage to the sound of a solemn but copyright-free orchestral cover of a patriotic rock song, leaving many to wonder if the whole performance had been less a eulogy and more a highly effective audition for a leading role in the movement’s next act.
