“A tale of two speeches!”
Sorry, I’m not buying it; I have a completely different takeaway from this debacle of a memorial for a man least deserving of any honor.
Moreover, we all know where this administration stands; divide and conquer. Miller and Trump’s speeches were exactly as to be expected.
Erika, on the other hand is taking over as the leader of Turning Point USA, and she will be directed by the Whitehouse. She won’t be in control, even if she wanted to; she’ll be handled; the same way they handled Kirk when he was railing about the administration’s feckless attempt to hide the Epstein files.
If you truly want to know want she feels, she already said it in her first address to the public: “You have no idea what you have unleashed.” These people will always choose power over the true meaning of Christianity, and justify it in the name of Jesus.
And this memorial is just the beginning. They will turn Kirk into the reincarnation of MLK Jr., or Ghandi. He’s anything but. And Eirka has the same ideology as her husband. And you need to understand they have different messaging to the broader public than when they speak to their own constituents.
Additionally, just look at how they destroyed Jimmy Kimmel and hundreds of others, based on a lie, and have silenced any, and all opposition to Kirk’s hypocrisy.
Bottom line: He wasn’t a champion of free speech nor did he bring people together. He had his own brand of demagoguery; similar to James O”Keefe and Project Veritas; he wanted gotcha video clips he could use to own the libs and increase his standing in the evangelical movement or MAGA. Whenever Kirk was challenged at universities and couldn’t talk his way into victory, he deflected and changed the subject. End of story! IMHO…:)
