In the recording, the mother of two can be heard discussing with her staff the success of a TPUSA event and the strong sales of associated merchandise. She then appeared to dismiss her husband’s death during the discussion while emphasizing harmony between staff.

    It’s not about ‘moralism’, it’s about the hypocrisy of their outrage over his death. Further showing they used it for their own personal gain, rather than any genuine giving a shit; More right-wing grift.

      She most likely deserves to be strung up along side the rest of them, but giggling isn’t the rope I would use. Grieving people are allowed moments of joy, and I would hate to normalize judging everyone through this lens.

      Whether she is genuinely grieving or not — I’m not saying you’re wrong in your interpretation. She is a horrible person, but this headline presumes that a person finding levity during times of grief is wrong. I’d hate for regular people to judge themselves or those in their own life harshly due to Erika fucking Kirk. Those are the folks I care about. Kirk can die in a fire, IDGAF.

        In the recording, Erika can be heard “giggling” and cheerfully praising the team for pulling off “an event of the century” and noting the substantial merchandise sales they made.

        This wasn’t mourning.

          Whilst she is a bitch, you can be in mourning for a long time and still find moments to laugh or be silly or whatever. There’s no set mourning period or level of mourning that’s deemed sufficient.

            She’s not going “hahaha that was a good joke Sarah.” No she’s going “my husband being murdered was good for business lol”.

              That’s just you putting thoughts in her head and words in her mouth.

          That’s the thing though people mourn on different ways and it doesn’t always make sense, as frankly you’re mourning and in distress.

          Let’s hold them to account for the actual shit they do. No need to makes things up. How does that make us any better than the right.

          She’s a cunt, but not for this.

        That part is fine. What isn’t fine is holding people up to standards they themselves gleefully ignore.
