One year after Charlie Kirk’s death, the organization is a joke — even on the right
When Charlie Kirk was alive, his wife Erika had a retrograde role that was easy to understand. She didn’t use the word, but she was a tradwife.
Her position at Turning Point USA, the organization her husband co-founded in 2012 to promote conservative politics on high school, college and university campuses across the country, was essentially to dote on him as her leader.
After they married in 2021, she became the evidence that Charlie Kirk was living up to his own beliefs about male leadership — and female submission — at home during the crucial period that he was rebranding himself as an evangelical leader from the secular libertarian he had been.
Because she’s a woman in an inherently misogynistic movement?
I was gunna say it was a lack of funeral pyrotechnics, but misogynists on the far right makes sense too.
Every MAGA woman discovers this at some point. And they always act surprised.
But they never thought the leopards would eat their face!
This article is disingenuous to say the least. Kirk’s death was met with bipartisan celebration, not horror. The left of course because he was a fascist who died in the most ironical manner possible. On the right cause they now had a martyr. The only people horrified were those who bought into his performance of debate.
Plus he was fresh in a lot of peoples minds as South Park aired an episode targeted at him and Cartman doing his “master debater” shtick less than a month before it happened.
She immediately went on a colossal spending spree to celebrate her new found riches, effectively dancing on his grave.
But hey, could you blame her? Imagine having to be the honeypot wife of Charlie Kirk and bearing his children, let alone ever having sex with him 🤮. You’d be over the moon too when his neck exploded.
I’m not sure the media should be encouraging people to give her a shot. Especially after she stuck her neck out for an inherently misogynistic organization.
I don’t mind her sticking her neck out.
In that case, let’s give her a shot.
Ehhh,
Eehhhhh
I see what you did there.
He died a year ago this week, shot to death while speaking at Utah Valley University.
There’s been zero investigation…
And stuff like immediately repaving the concrete before law enforcement looked at it as a crime scene, is weird enough we shouldn’t just assume he was shot.
Like, they could have treated it as a normal investigation and people would be able to trust it. But after the shit they immediately pulled, there’s always going to be a shred of doubt that his microphone had a bomb or something else.
Dude was breaking from Trump on Israel, obviously America’s and Israel’s current governments arent above assassinating a streamer.
Shut up.
It can’t have been a year already!
While you take a few next steps, I agree that Kirk was either a direct competitor, or possibly the one taking over after The Don would snuff it, with his manners, intellect and charisma - either way, he was prone to having a few enemies with a complete lack of morals. I think it’s definitely possible someone from his own team did the job.
I mean, the supposed shooter was legitimately further to the right of Kirk…
I’m just pointing out that a lot of inexplicable shit happened immediately after he died.
Is it most likely he was shot by a rifle? Absolutely.
But we don’t actually know that’s what happened.

I saw the video. No, that wasn’t an explosion. No smoke, no nothing. There’s no credible evidence to support that. Let’s not spread baseless conspiracy theories, please.
The person they replied to is also spreading a conspiracy theory, despite the hedging.
Yeah, I was referring to both posters, I guess I didn’t make it particularly obvious.
Gotcha. I have seen this type of thing a lot here. And more than a couple users can become very defensive if you doubt their version of events. I wish we could have nice things.
I’m guessing she proved incompetent.
Maybe she should start a cooking podcast now. She chose the role of tradwife, so she should lean into it.
I’m guessing she proved incompetent.
Since when has that been a barrier to success for right wing grifters?
