In the recording, the mother of two can be heard discussing with her staff the success of a TPUSA event and the strong sales of associated merchandise. She then appeared to dismiss her husband's death during the discussion while emphasizing harmony between staff.

Feels like acceptance came first, if not prior.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok but imagine charlie kirk is your husband and he dies. You'd be happy, too.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He would do the same if she died too

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Two shit peas in a shit pod.

Wow well I guess marrying a Mossad honey pot is a bad idea

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Quick someone save Kash Patel!

...actually nah it's fine.

[–] E_coli42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I couldn't find anything about her links to Mossad online. Source?

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Her kids are going to need a lot of therapy.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m no conspiracy theorist but there is apparently a cia training video out there with Erika Kirk in it…she was just his handler y’all

Though at this point that actually sounds plausible, it's still rather conspiratorial at the least.

Having said that, yeah it wouldn't surprise me

What we VAN all agree on is that this bitch is one cold narcissistic psychopath. It's almost enough to feel sorry for Charlie. Almost... But not.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Indeed we van

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

Sounds like we might have a motive for Charlie's death.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh look, stereotypically evil person, …turns out to be stereotypically evil.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 2 days ago

Her stare is enough. Even it gave Candace Owens the creeps. Nicki went silent after calling Vance the assassin.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

A good magahat never lets a tragedy and grief get in the way of turning a profit. I too am impressed by the profits made........

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 226 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

It’s not this audio that exposed her as a psychopath, it’s every singe public appearance she’s made since his death. Without skipping a beat she capitalized on her husband’s assassination immediately after it happened. Organizing events, “fundraisers”, podcasts, hook ups with the vice president, twitter beef with other grifters doing the same, etc, etc.

I’m never going to tell anyone how to grieve but you can’t convince me someone this excited about her husband’s public execution is grieving

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 66 points 3 days ago

Honestly, how am I supposed to see anyone who willingly married Charlie Kirk as anything but a vile human being. She could be dressed in all black until her dying day having taken a vow of silence in the wake of his passing, and her reputation would still deserve the Eva Braun treatment in my book. Her husband was a horrible person and any honoring of his death is the honoring of a piece of garbage. I cannot determine how another person is feeling, but I don't care how the wife of Charlie Kirk is feeling because I already know all the relevant facts about her. She's the wife of Charlie Kirk and that's enough.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 48 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shitbag man has shitbag wife. More at 11.

I'm getting you fired. That was literally my favorite racist podcaster.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

A recording just reaffirms that she is a true psychopath, rather than through heresay

Lots of people were happy he died, why are people mad at her?

[–] deltaspawn0040@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

She's been pretending to be a grieving in widow to keep the scam going.

[–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cmon We all knew she was fucked up sociopath.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 days ago

Exactly...nothing surprising here.

Conservatives completely lack empathy, but she seems to completely lack all emotions.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 59 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Giggling about her husband's death is a sign of emotion.

Her husband getting a hole through the neck was the event of the century for her too?

Looks like I have something in common with Erika Kuck.

People grieve their own way. Being excited about how much money you are going to make from the memorial for your dead husband is not a normal reaction. It could be a mental retreat as a coping mechanism. It really could be. However, the way conservative identities act when they aren’t in mourning, highly suggests this isn’t a coping mechanism, just naked exploitation of other peoples sympathy.

My theory, Charlie wasn't always great to her and she is happy he is gone but not willing to admit that his misogyny actually hurt her at times.

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 55 points 3 days ago

That's a very charitable interpretation.

Creepy Mossad honeypot wife/handler

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

The list of articles at the end is just Candace Owens talking about other conspiracy theories. This isn't news, why are you wasting peoples time with this? And why are people upvoting this?

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Very likely they're just reading the lemmy headline, upvoting and moving on without opening thread or link. Just the nature of link aggregator sites

I wish she hadn't had to mourn her husband for long because she would have been the next one in front of the firing squad.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If this is true and indicative of anything other than just going through the processing of it [1] I wonder if that's how she was able to forgive the shooter so quickly.

[1] Grief can be a very weird thing and the reactions you have can surprise you - giggling does not necessarily mean she was truly ecstatic over the murder of her husband. I'm willing to give a lot of grace here - processing something like this is not something one does in the most rational and stepwise of ways. As others have pointed out, it can seem truly surreal, especially at first.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

You don't giggle when you grieve someone's death
