C.K.s own words are coming back to haunt his followers, and they are attempting to claim he didn't say that, that's not what he meant, it was taken out of context, and however else thay can spin his b.s. to make him seem he was a saint.

... Madam Nhu made livings as professional widows. I don't think Chalkie left much legacy and she's not skilled enough to make a living at it.

well, not in the way that most people would define or describe the love of a healthy romantic marriage between two adults.

In every TV appearance, she always seems to rehearsed, scripted. She's a bad actress who over-acts. It's easy for me to imagine that her only claim to fame was being in her high school's production of Our Town.

Every word and gesture is planned... wiping away fake (and often non-existent) tears is so corny. Her emotions speak LESS of genuine grief... nothing about the heartache of losing a true love... and MORE about the anger and rage over the loss of a meal-ticket and business partner.

What a phony baloney she is!

We are in the upside down now....it's not you but them....(((HUG)))

As a long time working RN....this gal did not show authentic grief...not even close....I have seen my share of homicide victim families, other forms of death wherein grief by families are even predictable....this gal is way off the grid in my opinion...

comments. Erika Kirk says some of her late husband's controversial comments, shared widely in the wake of his assassination, lacked context and that he should not 'be deteriorated' to a few sentences: that some gun deaths are 'worth it' to protect the Second Amendment; that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake; and that if he sees a Black pilot, he's 'going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified.' "

Yeah, why "deteriorate" (sic) Kirk's repertoire of celebrated hate speech to just these two examples? There's so much more to choose from, literally thousands of sentences.
