I find it disturbing that she doesn’t mention Charlie’s concerns over the last 9 months regarding the genocide, stand down order by Israel on Oct 7, and the funding and blackmailing of our lawmakers by Israel. This was demonstrably troubling to him – why is she avoiding this topic?
From the grayzone:
In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.
According to Kirk’s friend, who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel’s behalf. “Charlie was the only person who did that,” they said, recalling how Trump “barked at him” in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk’s mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power, and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts.
By the following month, Kirk had become the target of a sustained private campaign of intimidation and free-floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu – figures he publicly referred to as Jewish “leaders” and “stakeholders.”
“He was afraid of them,” the source emphasized.
Kirk appeared visibly outraged during an August 6 interview with conservative host Megyn Kelly, as he discussed the menacing messages he was receiving from pro-Israel bigwigs.
“It’s all of the sudden: ‘oh, Charlie: he’s no longer with us.’ Wait a second—what does ‘with us’ mean, exactly? I’m an American, okay? I represent this country,” he explained, before addressing the powerful Zionist interests harassing him.
“The more that you guys privately and publicly call our character into question—which is not isolated, it would be one thing if it were just one text, or two texts; it is dozens of texts—then we start to say, ‘whoa hold the boat here,’” Kirk continued. “To be fair, some really good Jewish friends say, ‘that’s not all of us’… But these are leaders here. These are stakeholders.”
According to Kirk’s longtime friend, Kirk’s resentment of Netanyahu and the Israel lobby was spreading within Trump’s inner circle. In fact, they said, the president himself was terrified of Netanyahu’s wrath, and feared the consequences of defying him.
During the past year, the Trump insider was told by contacts in the White House that the Secret Service had caught Israeli government personnel placing electronic devices on its emergency response vehicles on two separate occasions..”
Erika’s silence requires some serious questioning from conservatives – has she been bought out? Was she involved with or have foreknowledge of Charlie’s assassination?
She’s had what, 10 days to say something – anything – regarding what was really plaguing Charlie in the days leading up to his death? Her grief would naturally include getting to the bottom of Charlie’s fears of Israel as a first priority, but instead she directed her focus to leftists.
This is extremely suspect behavior to have to wait til sometime this week for an explanation for why all the zionist donors suddenly came back after he died.
We can’t even mourn Charlie Kirk without the “BUT ISRAEL!” crowd butting in! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! IT’S A FUNERAL!!! READ THE ROOM, YOU TONE DEAF MILITANTS ON BOTH SIDES! YOU ARE -NOT- HELPING. THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. THIS ABOUT THE KIRK FAMILY, NOT YOU.
A blog post about a grieving widow is an inappropriate place for this. This not about you. This is not about desert tribal politics. This is about the Kirk family. You have a thousand other places on the internet to post your opinions on the assassination, and a blog post about a grieving widow is the absolute worst outlet for it. Let people here grieve in peace.
It is neither relevant nor appropriate to bring political poo-flinging to a thread about grief. You asked earlier what Charlie would have wanted us to do, and the answer is that he’d want us to give his family and fans space to grieve during his funeral. So don’t you dare hector us about what Charlie would have wanted when you demonstrably don’t care about his family, his work, his legacy, or really anything other your own selfish theatrics.
Ronin, let’s stop pretending you aren’t hasbara. I know bc hasbara won’t rebut a claim with anything but appeals to emotion and ad hominem.
Charlie would be embarrassed to have you trying to represent him with this feigned grief-stricken victimizing, pleading for “the kids!” like a neocon would against Saddam.
What you’re doing is desecrating Charlie’s legacy thru censorship while trying to reshape it in to something more comfortable for Israel.
Actually I think given the growing number of fscts that I have posted above in regards to Charlie’s death, it’s imperative that discussion takes place immediately.
I believe this to be not only morally correct, but precisely what Charlie would do himself – and that is: open the lines of communication, regardless of how hard it is to muster.
Let’s not be coddled while our own are cut down in 4k before us.
Do y’all even know Charlie? Have you listened to his podcast?
It’s statements like yours that make it obvious you either haven’t, or you’re willfully misrepresenting his character.

I still can’t discuss my husband in any serious way. He died three years ago. I might be able to repeat a quip he said or repeat a joke he told, but heart stuff is still impossible without me getting too emotional and I refuse to cry.
So sorry for your loss. Grief is gripping for an indeterminable amount of time.

One of the most impactful speeches/eulogies I’ve ever heard. She destroyed antichristian feminism. It appears Charlie was truly a man!
She cut through the weeds to what was core to Charlie’s mission: speaking truth to the “lost boys of the West”, attempting to rescue them from the cult/culture of death. Her forgiveness of the lost boy who thought he was having the last word was stunning and obviously divinely inspired.
That being said, I was happy to hear President Trump follow up with a call for capital punishment. We need to forgive but we also can not forget. The Lord’s forgiveness is right and good, but the execution of a nation’s just law is also needed.
I’m with President Trump on this. Peace through Strength. To go to battle in this spiritual war against Evil with every resource we can is not un-Christlike. I hope Mrs. Kirk’s statement on forgiveness does not deter the DOJ from prosecuting Charlie’s killer or the violence Leftists are using to target/exterminate Christian conservatives. It appears that Bondi & her team already use any excuse they can come up with to drag their feet. Stating “We forgive you,” won’t deter violent psychopaths. Prosecution, prison time/death sentences will. Those TPUSA young people who will be replacing Charlie and going onto college campuses facing the radicalized deranged Left deserve to be protected with the full force of deterrence that capital punishment of political assassins could provide.
I don’t believe putting things in the hands of our legal system and its well developed protocols for Justice (which may include capital punishment) is viewed as “eye for an eye” by the Bible, and wrong for a Christian to agree with. (unless one is a Quaker, Amish?) We see society unraveling in Blue cities and states because of the Democrat’s “compassionate” belief that there should be no consequences for criminal conduct. There are countless examples of how this philosophy is laying waste to these cities. Just look at what happened to Oakland, and what is happening to San Francisco- which was once one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Capital punishment has rarely been used anymore. IMHO, it may be appropriate to reconsider this more often. If another criminally minded Leftist POTUS comes along like Autopen with his 100s of pardons, Charlie Kirk’s killer could be out on the streets again to pick up where he left off. The Left and their media would probably applaud this, just as they applauded Charlie’s murder. Let us not forget how they applauded the drummed-up Floyd riots when their mobs were burning cities down and trying to kill LE.

I shed tears of sadness and joy. I experienced the divinity of Christ with that simple statement that make me break into tears: “I forgive him”
The shepherd is gathering his flock, and many more miracles and wonders await us. Charlie’s mission was to spark a revival this country hasn’t seen since its inception. Christ will come first, then culture, then politics. This nation is about to change drastically.
Amen! It was the most heartfelt eulogy. Beautiful Christ loving words that will never be forgotten.

The contrast between Erika at the microphone, and Erika standing alone, both on the stage and in some pics I saw of her backstage, is striking. She looks so alone, vulnerable, and lost when she’s not speaking. The magnitude of her loss is hitting her in waves. I can feel it from here. It’s heart wrenching.
Beautiful…thank you Mrs Kirk.
I think I may have flagged this by accident, big fingers small phone, sorry!
A true Christian

Because it’s a eulogy for her husband, at his funeral.
In the name of Christ, stop.

This is extremely suspect behavior to have to wait til sometime this week for an explanation for why all the zionist donors suddenly came back after he died.
Erika’s first priority is her children, not Israel.
Perhaps she hasn’t said anything because all the speculation going around isn’t true. Plus it was his memorial not a discussion about world affairs.
Look, over there…..Israel!!!!
It’s like a squirrel just not furry. Look over there….
We can’t even mourn Charlie Kirk without the “BUT ISRAEL!” crowd butting in! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! IT’S A FUNERAL!!! READ THE ROOM, YOU TONE DEAF MILITANTS ON BOTH SIDES! YOU ARE -NOT- HELPING. THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. THIS ABOUT THE KIRK FAMILY, NOT YOU.
What would Charlie have wanted us to do?
Harrison H Smith tweeted the following less than a month before CK’s shooting:
“I’m not gonna name names, but I was told by someone close to Charlie Kirk that Charlie thinks
Israel will kill him if he turns against them.“
But y’all want this kind of talk completely silenced so you can grieve Charlie?
A blog post about a grieving widow is an inappropriate place for this. This not about you. This is not about desert tribal politics. This is about the Kirk family. You have a thousand other places on the internet to post your opinions on the assassination, and a blog post about a grieving widow is the absolute worst outlet for it. Let people here grieve in peace.
So you don’t even think Charlie’s own words are relevant.
How ironic it is the followers of the man who openly debated any topic are now pushing for silence on the topic of that man’s death.
Edit: let me take this opportunity to thank Sundance for permitting unpopular topics to be heard and discussed.
Open dialogue is the foundation to our constitutional republic, something CK stood for more than anything else.
It is neither relevant nor appropriate to bring political poo-flinging to a thread about grief. You asked earlier what Charlie would have wanted us to do, and the answer is that he’d want us to give his family and fans space to grieve during his funeral.

That isn’t just heinous, it’s sacrilege.
antisemitic poster
Just an unintelligent crap poster, tis all. He brings nothing to the conversation.
Picture him riding his bike in slow circles around the base of the tree. “Look at me!!!
Adding you to the pile of hasbara.
I bring nothing to conversation? Here I’ve quoted numerous sources and zero replies have even denied they’re false. All you’ve got is ad hominem?
It’s like your whole crew of bots or shills you’ve got here are using the exact same strategy – respond with emotional pleas and ad hominem.
NEVER acknowledge the claims made against Israel.
Anyone else find this a bit alarming to have proof right in front of us of an astroturfing campaign going on?
antisemitic
You are criticizing a wife’s eulogy for her husband? It isn’t enough that he died. He was assassinated.
You have a hardened heart. Re-listen to the entire 9 hr service, starting with the worship team. Ask Christ to come into your heart.
Actually I think given the growing number of fscts that I have posted above in regards to Charlie’s death, it’s imperative that discussion takes place immediately.

I too broke into tears when she forgave the “lost boy”. I too experienced the divinity of Christ at that moment.
Your comment is spot on. Thank you.
