Shouldn't she be at home looking after the kids, like a good conservative mum?
She's trying to find another small-faced husband first.
She already has a candidate.
Eek!
No, she's busy being on the Air Force Academy board...
A place where evangelical extremism has been a problem for literal decades and everyone just pretends isn't a big deal.
Her not talking to a couple hundred highschoolers is nothing compared to the real damage she's doing when she's not pretending to be a couch.
If she's parenting her children at home, who's out there grifting on her behalf?
She's a single mum just trying to make ends meet.
Dear Erika Kirk,
Your late husband was a scourge on the world and he died a death too clean for his own good. We'd say it's disgusting you're using your husband's death as a platform to spread more misinformation and hate, but we suppose it's fitting that his memory is besmirched by your fucking lunacy. We wish you all the worst save perhaps your late husband's fate you pathetic pathetic excuse for a human being.
Sincerely,
Most of The United States Population
Correction: most of the world's population
ok, so the headline makes it sound like a bit more than what it was, but:
A Phoenix-area high school pulled the plug on a planned on-campus appearance by Erika Kirk after a wave of student and parent complaints forced administrators to reconsider hosting the Turning Point USA chief during school hours, according to a new report.
Pinnacle High School principal Jeremy Richards sent families a notice Thursday announcing the event would be relocated off school grounds and pushed to after the final bell, saying the visit had the potential to create serious problems for the school day, The Daily Beast reported Friday.
still, glad to hear that some people at the school had the sense to stop this crazy bullshit before it started
Students were blunt about their objections.
"It’s a little crazy because I would never have expected someone like her to show up at a high school," one senior said. Another told local news the ideology she promotes had no place in a classroom setting and that the school could find far more appropriate guest speakers.
“I think the topics that she talks about are too extremist for a school. I think there are better representatives we can have,” said Francisco Sanchez, also a senior.
I'm very proud of these kids.
The kids are alright. And they rock.
They might be illiterate but at least they aren't down with fascism.
I'm going to have to watch the doc. I very much have my doubts, too. People love to dunk on boomers, but, FFS, that's the generation known for the hippies. And now the term "boomers" has flipped into shorthand for people sitting around watching Faux "News" vs. people sparking up a joint and tending to their pot plants...
If they are supposedly the worst now that they are reaching old age, just imagine what having no media filter/gating (as right wing as the corporate "liberal media" was and is - sure, that filter of the MSM is a two-edged sword, but fuuuuuck, if you let YT send you down the Nazi rabbit hole long before you've ever developed any kind of media literacy and/or critical thinking skills, it is going to cook your brain) and being given something like a tablet/phone from a very young age...
hosting the Turning Point USA chief during school hours
I find it horrifying that this is even an option. I don't think political parties/organizations should be allowed to recruit in schools at all. Let alone America's Hitlerjugend.
Get lost you ghoulish, fundamentalist attention whore.
High school? College kids too tough to debate?
Republicans dare not debate in colleges.
Not since... the incident.
She was meeting to much resistance, went down an education step in hope to find pliable minds to corrupt.
I bet in 6 months she'll be trying to perform at Elementary Schools... assuming shes allowed within 1500 feet of them given, you know, conservative grifters and their interests
What a cesspool this countries institutions institutions are becoming. I bet she is getting taxpayer dollars to do this talk too.
Apparently all it takes to be a TPUSA Talking Head is being married to one. No other qualifications necessary.
Honestly, that's one more qualification than her predecessor.
Who was responsible for naming that group? Didn’t they realize that the abbreviation would be interpreted as Toilet Paper USA?
How did they not see that coming?
It was revenge for their hoses getting TP’d so much when they were kids because they were fuckin’ NERDS /s
“So Timmy, what happened at school today”
“Well Dad, you know that guy that got shot in the neck? The guy from the internet videos with the blood flying out of his neck? Well his wife is coming to school to talk to us! I guess she’s getting death threats too so the cops were doing active shooter drills with machine guns and everything!”
If the person who popped Kirk knew what kind of freakish dead-eyed monster would rise in his place, would they still pull the trigger?
Unfortunately this is why assassination is usually a bad choice. "Head of the hydra", making a martyr and all of that. It's contradictory to the goal.
Um I think that's the reason they pushed the button.
Maybe she hired out to do it.
That is/was a legitimate conspiracy theory going through tiktok, at least a told to me a few weeks ago.
I remember Al Gore came to my high school during his run at the presidency, it was such a pain in the ass.we had cops at every enterance for weeks
Turning Point USA chief
Turning Point USA has chiefs? lol
Everyone liked this.
Remember that this was even attempted next time we hear something about schools indoctrinating kids
In Idaho my daughters went to an assembly sponsored by the highschool during a school day that taught her that people who look at porn become serial killers.
I mean at least a couple red states have attempted to put the ten commandments in schools. Even after courts obviously make them stop.
Oh, no! But MAH FREEZED PEACH!
I, as a conservative grifting anti-American asshole, have a right to being heard by a captive audience!
Parents raised their own alarms, with several pointing to the political division Kirk's presence would inevitably import onto campus
Peeve: it's not the division that's the problem. It's the hate and lies.
What does she even talk about?
I've actually been to her events and they're pretty good.
She talks about personal responsibility, American values, and that one time she conspired with Israel to assassinate her husband.
All things considered, not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
Conservative grievances
man, I hate that guy.
