Well if sleeping with the Vice President 48 hours after becoming a widow doesn’t earn you a chance to speak at a high school I don’t know what will 😕
Is society better off now that Charlie Kirk is dead? It certainly seems to be healing.
With people like her I wonder if she actually genuinely believes in her values or just determined them to be most profitable to her. And I’d argue that the latter would be even more evil
Get lost you ghoulish, fundamentalist attention whore.
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
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
Apparently all it takes to be a TPUSA Talking Head is being married to one. No other qualifications necessary.
That’s a problem in the whole USA political scene. Why does the first lady hold events and give speeches? In Germany, we usually don’t even know whether the chancellor is married or not, and if we do, we certainly don’t know the name of the partner and have never scene them on TV.
That’s true for previous chancellors but not for Merz. Yet another thing where he sets a negative example. His wive was a somewhat vocal in his election campaign and the district court led by her attracted negative attention when it bullied a political opponent of Merz by illegally issuing a search warrant (German source). She did of course dispute being personally involved, but it smells fishy anyways.
LOL I’ve always wondered that as well. I guess because it makes their partners look better.
I guess you wouldn’t really know but have you ever had one that was single?
I just went through the list on Wikipedia, no, they were all married.
Honestly, I thought our previous chancellor, Olaf Scholz, was single. But no.Well thanks. Idk how long of a list that was, I’m not too surprised, I would imagine most people both eligible and likely to get elected to be married statically.
Honestly, that’s one more qualification than her predecessor.
What a cesspool this countries institutions institutions are becoming. I bet she is getting taxpayer dollars to do this talk too.
Shouldn’t she be at home looking after the kids, like a good conservative mum?
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.
She’s trying to find another small-faced husband first.
She already has a candidate.
Eek!
I thought she just needed to get away from her small-faced children of the corn.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, the article basically says, “the parents also had problems” without really elaborating too much lol
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…
People love to dunk on boomers
It’s just thinly veiled ageism.
“Sense” seems to be responding to backlash in this case.
They are still supporting TP’s extreme right-wing anti-education propaganda, by a school of all places!EDIT: It read like the school were organising it themselves but it seems it was by a student club? Kind of weird that such a thing exists and they can host “high-profile” people, but there might be some indication the school itself wasn’t aware of it.
The relocated gathering will be restricted to members of a TPUSA-affiliated student club and a single guest apiece. School officials were careful to note that taxpayer money won’t foot the bill, and the visit carries no official district stamp of approval.
seems to me like TP reached out to maybe some neo-nazi district admin that made a short-term booking with little-to-no notice (so they couldn’t stop the nazis) to the actual school admin (except maybe the principle through some super-vague email, designed to hide the nazis) about some “district-mandated school assembly” (of nazis).
Some state/county/local law must have kicked in, requiring some sort of disclosure to some series of people the ended up in people being informed they were about to be mind-pissed by a bunch of christo-nazis, and, clearly, lots of people - included very not-stupid children - had a major fucking problem with that.
proud of those kids!
these aren’t just American values… I hope these are HUMAN values!
if you don’t believe this, I don’t think you should be considered human
“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!”
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
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
Everyone liked this.
