I’m losing followers for sharing a video of @DLoesch quoting Scripture about caring for widows and orphans. Not politics. Not candidates. Scripture. Make that make sense. 🤷‍♀️♥️

[Amanda Read Sheik @SincerelyAmanda]

Throughout Scripture God uses pretty vivid imagery of sexual depravity to describe the betrayal of His people “playing the harlot” with other nations. It may be harsh, but it is a classic description of someone kissing up to a subversive foreign influence that betrays our values.

“How did Putin taste?”
LOL this is the new Turning Point USA everybody. Woke feminists speaking like hookers while claiming to represent conservatism.

For the love of Charlie, please rename this Godforsaken organization.

[Alex Clark @yoalexrapz]

Actually, it’s because my podcast has been bringing in massive numbers of young women and young moms for years. The transition away from “Young Women’s Leadership Summit” started long before Charlie passed away. Charlie was fully aware of it and agreed it needed to happen because the conference had outgrown the name. The audience isn’t just young women anymore, it’s American women.

As for understanding our audience, I’d worry less about ours and more about the fact that yours seems to consist primarily of leftists hate-watching and Russian bots. By the way, how did Putin taste?

[Mary Katharine Ham @mkhammer]

Damn straight. It turns out the Bible doesn’t call for the personality disordered, friend-zoned ex-friends of the deceased to run 10-month campaigns of slander against their wives in the name of the Lord.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

“I’ve made another outlandish claim against Erika with no evidence. If she responds, it proves she’s guilty. If she doesn’t respond, it also proves she’s guilty. I have no responsibility to prove my own allegation. The responsibility is
on Erika to provide me, a random fat mentally ill disheveled weirdo hunchback stalker freak, with her personal information to prove that she’s innocent. If she doesn’t, it means she’s guilty. If she does, I will immediately invent a new allegation and the whole process will begin again, unto infinity.”

@TLHb6bh For 8 months, Candace has spent every episode trying to make Charlie seem like an idiot, a man-child who did not know what was going on in his company, a fool who picked the wrong person to marry and mother his children, and now she's saying he was a womanizer who used women.

[Amanda Read Sheik @SincerelyAmanda]

“She was older than me…” Notice that Candace constantly inserts herself comparatively into the narrative. She can’t help it.

[imperfectlyperfect @TLHb6bh]

It is 💯 morally inappropriate for a married woman, who is not Charlie’s wife, to publicly discuss intimate details about him, particularly when he is dead and his widow is still alive and raising their children.

There is a line between commentary and exploitation, and this crosses it. Discussing politics, public statements, or even disagreements is one thing. Sitting around dissecting a dead man’s marriage, hinting at improprieties, implying betrayal, and turning deeply personal family matters into entertainment for clicks and engagement is something entirely different.

What makes it worse is the self righteousness attached to it all. You cannot claim to stand for family values, morality, Christianity, decency, or protecting children while simultaneously feeding millions of people intimate gossip about a husband and wife whose children will one day read every word of it online. Those children did not ask for this. His widow did not ask for this.

A grieving widow should not have to wake up every day wondering what new insinuation, rumor, or “just asking questions” segment is going to be blasted out to millions of viewers next. There is nothing brave about it. There is nothing journalistic about it. It is gossip packaged as righteousness.

At some point people need to ask themselves what they are actually consuming and supporting. Because when someone profits from tearing apart the intimate details of a dead man’s marriage while his family is still trying to survive unimaginable loss, that is not truth seeking. That is cruelty for the sake of cruelty!

And since when did “journalism” become gossiping about whether Charlie was a virgin or claiming he only dated Erika to make another girl jealous?

That is not investigative reporting. That is middle school gossip with a microphone. It’s morally bankrupt.

A man was murdered, children lost their father, and somehow people turned the conversation into psychoanalyzing his dating life for clicks and engagement. It’s so grotesque.

[Live Action @LiveAction]

Baby Lennon was miscarried at 10 weeks.

This is the age when many babies are killed by the abortion pill.

No child deserves to be starved to death and violently expelled from their mother’s body.

BAN the abortion pill.

[Chicks On The Right @chicksonright]

I hope Candace sees this post eleventy billion times in her feed today.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 LMAO! President Trump just caused the room to burst into laughter 🤣

Q: "Is there talks about you potentially wearing a bullet proof vest moving forward?"

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "I don't know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier."

😂😭

[imperfectlyperfect @TLHb6bh]

I keep seeing comments saying Erika Kirk should be at home with her kids because that is what Charlie wanted. None of us actually live in that home. None of us know the full weight of what she is carrying or the decisions she is making behind the scenes.

In an ideal world, with both mom and dad still present and life moving as it should, staying home with the kids would absolutely be a beautiful and grounding choice. That kind of family structure is what most people would hope for, and it’s clear Charlie understood and valued that vision deeply as does Erika. When her Charlie was alive she embraced that structure fully. Thing is, someone brutally murdered her husband so that structure has been broken for Erika.

And the reality is not that simple anymore. Grief, responsibility, public pressure, and parenting do not exist in separate boxes. They collide. They get messy. She has to pick up the pieces of a shattered life and create a new structure. And they are not for strangers on the internet to judge from a distance.

Charlie spoke often about family and values, but using that as a weapon to shame Erika right now feels less like concern and more like projection. If anything, this is a moment where basic decency should matter more than commentary.

It is not fair to reduce a woman and a mother to a talking point while she is navigating something most people will never have to face.

I don’t know know but I know with 💯 percent certainty that Erika would rather have Charlie. Period!

Now sit down and shush!

What this manifesto shows is that this was not a mentally unstable person in a psychotic fit. He is a thoughtfully, intentionally evil person deliberately carrying out the task left-wing media figures had convinced him would be necessary and heroic

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

Have you noticed that so often the people who preach the hardest about empathy are the least likely to show compassion for their political enemies?

[Mary Katharine Ham @mkhammer]

Bitch, if someone tries to shoot me for the third time, I will use it to sell whatever I want. YOU WILL BUY ALL THE THIN MINTS AND SAMOAS FROM MEEEE.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Retards starting tweeting that the assassination attempt was "staged" 10 seconds after it happened. No evidence for that claim. No reason to make it. Nothing at all. Just a narrative constructed out of whole cloth. They have the guy in custody, alive. And yet they'll still say this was somehow a hoax. You have to understand that, for a lot of people in this country, the truth just doesn't matter. It makes no difference to them. The truth is whatever they want it to be. These are the same people who spent years claiming that men can give birth the babies. They're living in fantasyland. They cannot differentiate between the things they wish are real and the things that are actually real. They don't recognize the distinction between these categories. They're toddlers in adult bodies. Their brains and souls are malformed. There's no saving them.

[Shaun Marksbury @marksbury]

@conservmillen Being a mom apparently means you can't ever be seen outside the house.

[✨️ Faith & Family ✨️ @jennc2213]

@conservmillen Meanwhile, the people saying it are people who didn't like Charlie or TPUSA before his death.

Never once said a single word abt Erika, but now they're experts. All this started w Candace & everyone knows it

[Don Draven @DravenDon]

@conservmillen One Question: How many women, mothers, grandmothers, kids, men, fathers, grandfathers have had a member of their families killed in public? Stop singling EK out. Erika is just another caught up in the global crime that has infiltrated America.

[Martha Day @MarthaD80784116]

@conservmillen Or maybe Erika should feel safe anywhere she chooses to be because that’s the America I want to live in

I will not accept that violence must be part of our society and those who are non-violent must adjust their lives to accommodate hateful angry violence

Prayers for Erika

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

I’m so sick of people saying, “well, maybe Erika should stay home!” Bro, that is none of your business. How do you know where her kids are? How do you know they’re not with her? How do you know she’s not home 95% of the time? Also, it doesn’t affect you! Just pray for her protection and strength and keep your busybody thoughts to yourself
