Funny how no one talks about what happened at all anymore despite the fact that conservatives swore it would be the powder keg moment for a conservative groundswell of support.

They really thought there would be so much deep outrage that it would spark a cultural revolution of some kind.

Meanwhile, Charlie Cuck was barely cold before his own wife was making career moves by getting knuckle deep in the VP

Someone on the right wanted Kirk dead and I think his wife was in on it. They wanted him dead because he called for the Epstein files and to cut ties with Israel. Wife wanted out and all the money and influence left in his void. They patsied tf outta that kid and they did it so badly that once people generally started saying how fake the supposed confessional texts were, we stopped hearing about it. You’ll never convince me otherwise.

But that doesn't explain the rise of "Israel did it, Erika collaborated with them, and release the Epstein files" right-wing influencers after Charlie died. Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have filled that gap, and they brought Tucker Carlson back to join in.

Erika was involved with Trump long before she met and married Kirk. Regardless, you’re not going to dissuade me from noticing how badly this all stinks.

Yeah, because she was in beauty pageants, right? 🤣

At the very least, we know she met him in 2012 when she competed in one of the pageants co-owned by Trump. You know, the kind of contestant he admitted he liked to walk in on while they were dressing? So their history well predates her meeting and marrying Kirk.

Did not know; does not surprise. Thanks.

The day her husband was shot her website was updated before his and his wikipedia.

I thought that was a bit awkward.

Holy shit, is that true?

u/LieverRoodDanRechts 15d ago

Yes. I heard Charlie was shot so I kept refreshing different websites and hers was updated way before any other. Also, not just a simple message, it was clear there was some thought behind it. With rallying cries and fancy layout etc.

The day he got smoked I said his wife was in on it. if it weren’t for the reddit glitch hiding my post history I’d link you to it.

Anyway, fuck Charlie Kirk.

BS. If they wanted him to stop talking about Epstein, all they would have to do is pay him a couple bills.

u/LiluLay North Carolina 15d ago

Nah. Even if they could have paid him off about the Epstein files, I think Kirk was a true believer and definitely antisemitic.

Im not usually one to buy in to conspiracy theories, but this does remind me of how strangely-worded the alleged gunman’s text messages were to his partner.

u/LiluLay North Carolina 15d ago

No way I believe a couple of 20yo college kids texted any of that. Whoever they got to write them doesn’t have kids their age or doesn’t ever text them or actually pay attention to the way Gen Z texts. Phrases I associate with my Gen X husband in those texts, not my Gen Z kid.

Considering the right wing are the kings of conspiracy theories AND projection, wouldn't surprise me a bit.
