God bless Erika, but I don’t think she should be the default successor just because of her immediate proximity to Charlie. She has children who now need her undivided attention as they grieve and move on. She may be too emotional now to lead the organization.

Charlie thought that men and women were inherently different. The organization should be lead by a man.

Charlie specifically wanted this.

Have you been following what that witch is saying about Charlie Kirk? She is so vile; it’s almost like she is possessed.

I agree with you on this; while women can function as leaders, in this case i5 should be a man, and in my most humble opinion Charlie was wrong if this was his wish.

She hasn't been part of Turning Point for along time.

You are being duped if you believe anything else.

Shouldawouldacoulda is irrelevant.

Read the release.

It’s a done deal.

Wow, you read two sentences. That must be very difficult /s

Pretty bad when people can’t read a two sentence OP/article.

Why the attack on Bob?

Are you in disagreement with this decision by TPA?

Just curious.

LOL. Clearly I should have included the "/s" tag.

Yeah, even Nick Fuentes is ridiculing her for it, and he is no fan of Israel.

I'd have to see documented proof of this wish.

Charlie was fully convinced that men and women are different, with different roles. If Erika fills Charlie's spot, her days will be filled with numerous days-long engagements taking her away from her family. If she doesn't raise her children, someone else will.

I seriously doubt that Charlie would have wanted that.

The wife being automatically the replacement for any leader is a flawed idea.

You missed the sarc tag

“” Wow, you read two sentences. That must be very difficult /s “”

I was referencing Post #2 that bigbob was replying to.

I think she’ll do fine and as CEO, will have plenty of time to raise the kids.

One time someone asked them when they were together which was the more conservative one. They both strongly agreed that she is, so maybe this isn’t a bad thing. Time will tell.

“it’s almost like she is possessed.”

ALMOST?!

What did she think ... that Charlie was going to turn everything over to HER?
