It was a propaganda production and I bet Trump had a lot to do with it!
Having fireworks was bit much!!!
Having Erika Kirk stand there on stage crying that she forgives Robinson was a bit too much. Especially after every right wing MAGA calls for revenge!
The whole thing sounded like a farce and grifting production!
This wasnt tamping down the hate, it only escalated the issue!

This is a travesty.

(10,391 posts)But big doners started backing off when Kirk did a complete I love Israel turn around and he started questioning Israels motives in Gaza. ( Videos on X - in one he asks if Israel had a stand down order on Oct 7) Donors were really pissed when he invited anti genocide speakers to his big Turning Points event in Tampa - Tucker, Dave Smith and MTG.
Tucker started a fund for Erica - he and a friend put in a million dollars.
Learned all this info from clips on X 🙃🙃🙃

I know I'm being tacky considering that she is a widow but sh was beyond the pale of human decency5.
Randomthought
(935 posts)It was not a memorial service but a RW hate fest and Erika' s overacting of the grieving widow was just nasty. Her saying she was Kirk's advisor!!? Honey he was a major misogynist. I N HER DREAMS WAS SHE HIS ADVISOR.
