"I think in times like this, especially when there is political violence, you need the president, regardless of who it is, to bring the country together, Hinojosa began. And that has not happened. She continued: This was an opportunity for Trump to do that. He did not take that opportunityThe person who really did that was Erika Kirk. She came to the moment she understood that people need to be brought together."
"She's probably one of the only people besides Donald Trump who could do that. So much that she saysthat she forgave the shooter. She also said, The answer to hate is not hate. She talked about love for our enemies. She talked about the First Amendment and the importance of the First Amendment. These are all things that should have come, you know, largely about bringing our country together, from our president."
Erika Kirk delivered a memorial speech at State Farm Stadium that conveyed forgiveness, rejection of hate, love for enemies, and defense of the First Amendment. The speech included the line that 'the answer to hate is not hate' and referenced forgiveness of the shooter. Commentators contrasted the speech's unifying tone with President Trump's lack of a comparable national message. Observers noted that the widow's appeal for unity and free-speech protections filled a leadership gap amid concerns about recent political violence and the need for national healing.
