As much as they are both (all 3 actually) are horrible people, there’s nothing nefarious in her not grieving how people want her to.
Perhaps she doesn’t care.
Perhaps she does, but sees an opportunity and can suck it up.
Perhaps she does and she is using work to distract herself.
Perhaps she does and it comes out differently.
Perhaps she does and shes good at acting like nothing is wrong.
I mostly agree with you, but I don’t think this is just a distraction story. The more interesting thing is the rift forming between MAGA influencers. Candace Owens clearly has beef with Erika Kirk.
Its absolutely possible for someone who loves their husband to appear happy after they suddenly pass away.
However, the pivot to capture the TP USA business is a conscious one, and it definitely feels pretty gross to anyone who understands that it is indeed a business.
The thing is, to people receptive to their message, its not a “business”, its a cause or a movement. They can just say “Charlie would have wanted her to continue his work!”
Yes but even if it is a conscious decision and she doesn’t or didn’t care about him, there’s nothing illegal about it. It’s just unseemly. She should be able to do as she pleases, no different to any other awful grifter. It’s not really news. It’s gossip.
It’s not a matter of illegal, it’s a matter of how much of a grift it is. Celebrating merch sales about your husband’s death is just sociopath level.
It matters in the context of this movement trying to play like they gave a shit about this man for the sake of sympathy when even his own widow clearly cared about engagement and merchandise than his actual death.
Admittedly, not that newsworthy because most of the world has stopped thinking about him, but TPUSA is still rolling and still riding that martyrdom angle.

It’s all just a distraction story.

In some ways I completely agree.

Nah the Trump administration hitched their wagon to the Kirks so her unseemly behavior is newsworthy IMO.
