"Most people cannot say they've experienced losing a spouse at this young of an age, and I don't know who we are to suggest how somebody should respond in real time. One week after her husband's passing, she went in front of a crowd of 40 to 50,000 people, people watching all over the world. And she delivered remarks in which she forgave the assassin that shot her husband and killed him."
"There is that disconnect between the grief that a mother who is just going to bury her husband, the father of her children, and a president who's talking about the the politics of this moment, Mohideen said. And I think that's what my takeaway was from that speech, you know, the opportunity for the president to try to heal and bring the country, as many had hoped he would, and not doing it in the way that many people would expect a president to do."
Erika Kirk delivered a memorial speech one week after her husband's death in front of 40,000 to 50,000 people and a global audience.
