As she spoke, the heckler stood up and yelled “Erica Kirk protects pedophiles.” The woman was booed and led away by security.
Erica Kirk immediately responded: “It’s important to remember that happiness comes and I pray you find it.” Her response was met with loud applause in San Antonio, Texas, where supporters immediately supported her.
People even stood up to praise her and “we love you Erica” could be heard in the crowd. “This is an important moment because it shows that the duty of loyalty gives life meaning,” Erica continued after security dismissed the hecklers. “We must pray for our enemies and those who don’t feel like their lives have meaning, and this is a perfect example of that,” Erica further said, as the applause continued.
