10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
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
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.
Shitbag man has shitbag wife. More at 11.
I'm getting you fired. That was literally my favorite racist podcaster.
Conservatives completely lack empathy, but she seems to completely lack all emotions.
Giggling about her husband's death is a sign of emotion.
That could have been the "cha-ching" of the grift
To be fair, I giggled at his death too
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.
Ok but imagine charlie kirk is your husband and he dies. You'd be happy, too.
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.
That's a very charitable interpretation.
or maybe maybe she 's glad to be the new boss of her husband empire and nothing to do with how she was treated. Also charlie said multiple time that she had worse opinion than him, notably on women role and feminity.
Feels like acceptance came first, if not prior.
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.
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?
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
Are you trying to say 'theblast.com' is not hard hitting journalism?
+1
Also, information hygiene on Lemmy is awful. Posters don’t check sources or click through to original sources. They repost tabloids without even blinking. And mods do basically no policing of that; not even a suggestion in the postings rules.
(And I don’t mean to single out OP or the community here. That’s just kinda how Lemmy is at the moment).
Sounds like we might have a motive for Charlie's death.
Oh look, stereotypically evil person, …turns out to be stereotypically evil.
Her stare is enough. Even it gave Candace Owens the creeps. Nicki went silent after calling Vance the assassin.
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.
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.
To be fair to her, I would also be celebrating the death of Charlie. But obviously I'm not.
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........
I love when bad people start stabbing each other in the back. We should encourage much more of this.
"Hey Erika? You gonna take that from Candace? I wouldn't, but if you want to look weak, and have nobody give you any more Charlie Kirk money, then walk away. I wouldn't let her diss me like that, though."
Hey MAGAs, everybody take sides!
Well, I guess I wasn’t the only person giggling over his impromptu fountain cosplay.
