Matt Walsh Defends Erika Kirk From Vicious Leftist Attacks After Charlie Kirk Memorial Speech
Matt Walsh confronts the widespread leftist attacks on Erika Kirk following her emotional address at Charlie Kirk's memorial service. Walsh exposes how mainstream leftist voices have mocked and condemned the grieving widow, revealing a disturbing inability to comprehend genuine grief and devotion. Through analyzing multiple attack videos and conspiracy theories targeting Erika, Walsh argues that these responses expose the spiritual emptiness and lovelessness at the heart of modern leftist ideology, contrasting it with the authentic faith and love displayed by Erika Kirk.
These women in the video are so evil, so deeply wicked, so devoid of love and warmth that you could just see it by looking at them. Erika Kirk delivered a powerful address at Charlie Kirk's memorial service, but not everyone appreciated it. Many on the left have been viciously attacking her for the last two weeks, and especially over the past couple of days after her speech at the memorial.
These attacks are important to highlight because they reveal what we're up against. We are dealing with the sorts of people who ruthlessly mock and condemn a grieving widow and feel absolutely no remorse about doing so. These are not fringe voices either. These are not random leftists who have been widely condemned by all the normal decent leftists who would never dream of insulting a young widowed mother whose husband was shot in the throat on camera less than two weeks ago. That is not the case. These are not fringe voices. They are not widely condemned on the left. Erika is the one who is widely condemned.
Conspiracy Theories and Bizarre Accusations
One of the more mild examples comes from a man who has supposedly "put all the pieces together" and "cracked the case." But what case has he cracked exactly? It's not at all clear what he's even trying to imply. All he's done is recite random facts from Erika's Wikipedia with suspenseful music in the background. If you're very stupid, you can make anything sound like a conspiracy if you say it with suspenseful music in the background. Even the most benign and unremarkable facts become eerie and shocking, at least if you're stupid.
This conspiracy theorist wants us to see evidence of some kind of unspecified conspiracy in the fact that Charlie Kirk's dad was an architect and Erika Kirk was a beauty pageant contestant. This is strange apparently because Erika also played basketball. How could an athletic woman who enjoys sports also be in a beauty pageant? He's shocked. He's confused. Women who like sports are supposed to transition into men, right? Are you saying it's possible for a woman to enjoy traditionally masculine things like sports while also still remaining a woman? What is this sorcery?
And then Erika went on to meet the head of Turning Point USA at a Turning Point event. Aside from the fact that a Turning Point event is the most logical place for her to have met Charlie, how in the world did that happen? Aside from the fact that there's absolutely nothing even remotely strange or surprising in any of the details he just laid out, how is it possible? To a guy who hasn't left his basement or been exposed to direct sunlight in decades, the concept of people meeting each other in real life is pretty bewildering.
The Vile Attacks Get Worse
That was by far one of the more mild anti-Erika videos. It gets much worse than that. It's important to highlight some of these because we have to know what sort of people we're dealing with. The more vile entries in this genre include attacks like these:
"She's also an incredibly right-wing person who's using this moment to push an authoritarian agenda against the left."
"The women who marry these freaks know exactly what situation they're getting into. And the reason they get in that situation is because they want to be there."
"If you felt yourself some warm fuzzy positive feelings after watching the white Christian nationalist event yesterday disguised as Charlie Kirk's memorial service, this one is not for you."
Mock performances suggesting her grief was staged, comparing her demeanor to "beauty pageant autopilot" and Amber Heard
"I'm trying my best to see the authenticity in this woman, but it's so hard."
"Charlie Kirk did not reflect love for his enemies. Charlie Kirk hated people. He openly hated people and he said some of the worst things."
Hard to Watch, But Instructive
These videos are hard to watch. They're hard to watch almost in the same way that it would be hard to watch a video of somebody vomiting or of sewage spilling out of an overflowing porta-potty. It's disgusting. It's hideous.
But the videos are instructive for one because there are so many videos like this and most of them have hundreds or even thousands of likes and approving comments. Again, these women are not the fringe on the left. They are the majority. They are the mainstream.
A Genuine Inability to Comprehend Love and Grief
It's also instructive because they are so genuinely confused by Erika. This is kind of the theme here. They're confused just like the people on the left who saw these expressions of religious devotion and Christian piety—confused because they've never seen anything like it. Many of them are confused by Erika. They see a woman deeply distraught over the loss of her beloved husband and they can't believe that it's real. They call it performative. They assume that it's all for show. They laugh and they scoff at it.
And that is not performative on their part. They genuinely can't understand even on a theoretical level what Erika is experiencing. Erika loves Charlie. She is reacting exactly as anyone who loves another person would react in a similar situation. But these women have never loved anyone or been loved by anyone. They look at genuine expressions of grief and mourning the way that someone might look at an algebra textbook in seventh grade—total incomprehension, which quickly turns into anger and resentment.
The Driving Force Behind Leftism
This is the driving force behind leftism, and it's never been more clear than it's been over the last couple of weeks. This is an ideology driven by people, predominantly women, who have never experienced love or devotion. They've never received it. They've never given it to anyone else. They are lonely, bitter, full of envy.
This is why they want to tear down the institution of the family—because they've never had one, at least not a functional or healthy one. It's why they despise marriage—because they will never find a man who will devote himself to them. And even if they did find such a man, somehow against all odds, they would be incapable of giving that level of devotion in return.
They are morally bankrupt, spiritually impoverished. They are starving for love and human connection. But even though they starve for it, they don't long for it. Longing is too beautiful, too human for them. The beautiful and human things are out of reach. They starve for a thing that they don't even want.
Living in Spiritual Darkness
So instead, they sit in their lonely apartments and they snarl and snipe at anyone who has the things that they don't have and will never have. Love, faith, happiness, even grief. They even envy Erika's grief because you can only grieve what you have loved. And these people have never loved anyone or anything.
Grief is painful, but it's beautiful because it comes from love. They have no beauty in their lives at all. They live in total spiritual darkness all the time, so fully absorbed into themselves that they have become the human equivalents of black holes. They don't emit light. They can only consume and destroy it. Or at least they can try.
The Light Will Not Be Extinguished
But Erika's light will not be extinguished by these sad, pitiful creatures. Neither will yours. Neither will mine. They'll continue impotently snarling like neutered dogs behind a fence. And we will live our lives of love and faith. We will eventually die and our loved ones will remember us and tell stories about us, carry on our legacies. They will die and only their cats will mourn them until someone else comes along to fill the food bowl. And then even their cats will forget that they exist.
