    Honoring a student at a Turning Point USA event, Erika Kirk said, “Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband… Caleb has persisted with the same grift - gift - grit… it has been a long day.”

    “Trust me you’re not a grifter, honey,” she said to the student. “It’s all good.”

      You know, I would have given a pass on this, not that she deserves it. I have such a low opinion of these people that I didn’t think she’d be familiar with the word.

      But the fact that she turned to the kid and said that instead of just kept talking, that’s something.

        It sounds like she just mixed up gift and grit. Happens to everyone.

    All these evangelistic types are grifters. Play on people’s fears and hopes so that the money rolls in. False idols and all that.

    The Millennial Snowflake called it the “Freudian slip of the century.”

    Freudian Slip of the Century seems like an accurate description 💀

    Reading the quote it doesn’t sound like she was necessarily talking about Charlie Kirk. What was actually said was very ambiguous and there are a few different ways it could be interpreted only one of which would be in reference to Charlie being a grifter while the others wouldn’t. It’s certainly interesting and a decent chance it was a freudian slip, but the article title doesn’t really seem justified. It acts like this is some huge bombshell when it barely qualifies as a footnote.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
