Yeah. Look, for those of you who can’t see, I have the privilege and benefit of knowing Erica and Charlie very well. I totally know why Erica is in tears, you know. Man. Like I said, this is a weekly installment, okay?”“It was a weekly issue and we had a pastor tell us, we were told this was a demonic thing, oh my god, the devil wants to do this, and in that moment I just want to be with my kids, devil, you don’t just want to be with your kids, so that’s an irrelevant question. You should say the next question.”“Erica is indeed who she is described in the War Department Executive Office email. She is just an emotional asset and every time she gets emotional her emotions just keep building. Her job is to cry and then let us get scolded and it is our fault she cried because how dare we try to find out who killed her husband? That’s what she did this weekend. Again, this is true every week. You can set a timer.“The comments immediately drew attention on social media, with users debating Owens’ characterization of Erika Kirk and the broader tone of the discussion.
