Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸
May 27, 1999 — May 28, 2016
Forever in our hearts.
Even though our kids won’t see our love “grow old together” from an earthly stand point; they’ll see it from a Heavenly one. And I’ll tell them of our love story any moment I can.
Happy Anniversary to the love of my life.
Today marks 4 years of being married to @MrsErikaKirk. Second to following Jesus, it's the best decision I've ever made. She is bold, smart, loyal, and beautiful.
Happy anniversary, Erika. I love you.
This is not hyperbole - @spencerpratt is the blueprint for how my generation of older millennials needs to communicate and present their ideas and campaign messaging when running for office.
He is 10/10 no notes. Absolute raw talent. Killed the debate.
ATTN: Candace's neighbors, staff, classmates, ex boyfriends... please send me tips on her schedule and any personal info, past or present, you have on her.
See how unhinged that sounds?
Now imagine she's a widow and I was a close friend & ex employee of her husband.

For those people saying, “If @MrsErikaKirk were truly grieving, she would’ve taken a year off for her kids and therapy”:
Coretta Scott King led a march in Memphis DAYS after MLK’s assassination and kept fighting for civil rights for decades.
Myrlie Evers-Williams jumped right into activism after Medgar’s murder, raised their 3 kids, and later ran the NAACP.
Ethel Kennedy raised 11 children while pushing the Kennedy family’s political and social causes.
Betty Shabazz, who was there when Malcolm X was killed, raised their 6 daughters, got her doctorate, became a prominent activist, and spent her life protecting his legacy.
Elisabeth Elliot stayed in the jungle with the tribe that murdered her husband and kept doing missionary work.
Some women are just built different. They throw themselves into their husband’s cause instead of falling apart. It’s called “immersion” and is common in grief.
You might not like it, but you don’t matter. That woman will protect and continue her husband’s legacy, no matter how awful you people are.
Turning Point USA condemns in the strongest terms the TikTok audio trend that uses or references the assassination of our founder, Charlie Kirk, for entertainment.
Charlie Kirk was the victim of a real act of political violence. Turning that into viral content is grotesque and dehumanizing. There is nothing harmless, funny, or acceptable about it. It reflects a culture that trivializes violence and reduces real human loss to a punchline.
This has no place on TikTok. Or anywhere. This audio needs to be removed.
Erika Kirk seen crying: “She’s so performative! Look at those fake tears!”
Erika Kirk seen not crying: “Wow looks like she’s moved on pretty fast! Why isn’t she more upset??”
Erika Kirk seen laughing: “What’s so funny? Her husband just died!”
Erika Kirk seen frowning: “Why’s she scowling like that? What’s she so angry about???”
Erika Kirk seen existing in public: “She should be home with her kids! She’s abandoned them!”
Erika Kirk not seen existing in public: “Where is she? What is she hiding??? Why is she being so suspiciously quiet????”
Erika Kirk seen eating pancakes: “Look at this stupid bimbo eating pancakes! Too good for waffles huh?”
Erika Kirk seen eating waffles: “Really INTERESTING that she chose waffles of all things! Kind of suspicious if you ask me!”
Dear Leader Thune & our Republican Senate majority,
Since democrats are literally trying to assassinate President Trump,
can you come back to Washington, DC,
& pass the SAVE America Act before democrats have an opportunity to win back power?
Thank you.
We vote for Republicans but apparently we aren’t represented by anybody. Failing to pass the SAVE Act is the most disgraceful inaction I’ve ever seen from a political party.
This is your reminder that all of your tantrums about Trump’s tweets are meaningless & Dems fully intend to rule over you ruthlessly.
If they win in Nov, they will pack the Supreme Court, open border, and pursue mass amnesty and turn USA into a one-party system. Stakes are high.
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans told us if we gave them the Senate, House, and White House that they would pass all sorts of amazing bills to save America.
Time for Republicans in DC to put up results!
