Candace Owens is igniting debate with her release of audio featuring Erika Kirk just 12 days after her husband Charlie Kirk’s shocking assassination. In the clip, Erika reflects on a highly successful memorial event, boasting about the large turnout and various accomplishments. While her enthusiasm and gratefulness for her team come shining through, many, including Owens, find it troubling that such an upbeat demeanor emerged so soon after a tragic loss.
Owens didn’t hold back, critiquing the tone of the call and pointing out the peculiar juxtaposition of laughter and grief within the first weeks of such a devastating event. “It’s too soon for this,” she suggested, raising questions about whether identifiers of acceptance are being pursued too swiftly. It’s an emotional tightrope, and the public reaction has sparked conversations on how grief manifests differently for everyone. Can we really judge how someone should process their loss?
