ERIKA KIRK’S ART OF INSINUATION: WHEN CRITICISM IS QUIETLY RECAST AS THE WORK OF EVIL
Lionel makes a great point👇
But I want to add something to his observation. I’ll make an educated guess as to why @MrsErikaKirk repeatedly speaks in this roundabout way about evil: she is trying to sew the“seeds” of doubt, reframe the ever increasing criticism of her and @TPUSA as something other than a response to their own conduct and departure from Charlie’s vision.
Rather than confront why people have become so deeply disturbed by Erika’s extraordinary behavior from the very beginning, she insinuates the criticism she gets as the inevitable work of the devil and all his legions. It’s cunning reframing, but it doesn’t survive scrutiny from anyone with eyes, ears, and an ounce of savvy.
Because the criticism didn’t appear out of nowhere. Quite the opposite. People were initially enormously sympathetic to Erika. Of course they were. She had just suffered an appalling loss, and the natural human response was compassion.
What changed was what people subsequently saw and heard.
That sympathy began to erode as Erika and TPUSA’s upper leadership were caught in significant lies, while serious questions and contradictions continued to surround people directly connected to the circumstances of Charlie’s ghastly murder. Instead of recognizing why public trust was collapsing and addressing those concerns openly, TPUSA’s leadership and major donors have continued down a path that has inflicted enormous damage on the organization’s credibility and reputation.
Most damning of all is how dramatically they have departed from Charlie’s own vision and from positions he stated with absolute clarity shortly before he was brutally taken out.
And now we have Erika and @TPUSA aligning themselves with the highly abusive and misogynistic Andrew Wilson, @paleochristcon, and his equally foul-mouthed wife, Rachel, @Rach4Patriarchy—and actually employing them to train young people in debate!
It is an utterly inappropriate choice. To select people with that public record and temperament to help shape young minds inside an organization presenting itself as Christian and conservative is disgraceful.
For an organization supposedly carrying forward Charlie Kirk’s legacy, the decision to connect Andrew Wilson to a Christian conservative youth movement genuinely boggles the mind.
I pray @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance recognize the damage Erika, @AndrewKolvet, @BlakeSNeff@tylerbowyer and the current donors are doing to the wider MAGA movement—and, if TPUSA cannot be reclaimed, that something healthier, more principled and genuinely worthy of young conservatives takes its place.
At this point, #TPUSA is badly tainted. And the bitter irony is that an organization claiming to advance Christianity is increasingly doing real damage to the public perception of Christianity itself.

@GmorganJr The fact that you feel no remorse, shame or conviction about violating the clear contractual boundaries on filming tells us everything we need to know about you. You are a horrible person and a pawn to a narcissist. Your reputation is burnt to a crisp.
She just fucked him up for life. By just being honest. He will never be able to admit this to himself. He should have faked a stroke. I can’t believe he did this to himself.
Been saying a lot lately on the show that I am finally able to smile more when I reflect on Charlie. The anger and grief has transformed into something else: Like he’s with us, somehow.
Charlie was the one who aggressively trained me how to debate. With flashcards— on the topic of BLM. Day in and day out.
“Stay calm” “Know the subject inside and out”
“Stay away from personal attacks”. I can almost hear him.
Today felt like an absolute cakewalk of a debate on a subject that I care about, deeply.
The student has become the master, Charlie.
