Kork, the Trump follower who was shot, could not even dream that at his own funeral, his wife in a white dress, the occasion, the public announced forgiveness of the murderer!
This memorial service, which was designated as the first-class security level, was beyond imagination. The State Agricultural Insurance Stadium, which can accommodate 73,000 people, was packed, and the overflowing crowd could only squeeze into the makeshift venue. In total, more than 200,000 people were present.
The surrounding airspace is temporarily closed, no one is allowed to bring bags into the venue, and a large number of police and secret service personnel are armed with live ammunition. This treatment is usually only used for the presidential inauguration ceremony or international summit.
Trump and Vice President Wences came, Musk also secretly sat down with Trump and shrugged his hand, even Fox News, CNN and other major media broadcast all the way live, only while cheering it was "defense of freedom of speech", while cheering it was "political mobilization".
The 31-year-old is indeed a big figure, as Trump's most successful young follower, he founded the conservative youth organization "America's Turning Point" at the age of 18, which now has branches in more than 850 universities, and earns one billion in 2023.
He has visited the White House more than a hundred times, helping Trump attract young voters, a good friend of Trump’s son, and even the Trump building was designed by his father.
Such a political novice was shot dead by 22-year-old Taylor Robinson at a lecture at Utah Valley University, and the suspect later admitted that he had hated Kirk for a long time.
The memorial service lasted for five hours, and the people on the stage were filled with indignation. Trump called this "murder caused by the hatred of the radical left" and said that Kirk became an "immortal martyr"; Vice President Vance shouted that Kirk's spirit should continue in every university, and some people called it a "struggle against evil".
The audience was full of supporters in red, white and blue clothes, and the atmosphere was not like a funeral, but like a political rally. But at this moment, Erica raised her hand to wipe her tears, and in a loud but clear voice, she said that she forgave the murderer and opposed the death penalty because it was a choice Kirk would have made.
As soon as these words came out, even the live camera paused. You know, the prosecution has long mastered the evidence of the suspect's confession, and Kirk's supporters can't wait to immediately sentence the murderer to a heavy punishment.
But not only did Erica say that, but she also announced on the spot that she would take over her husband's organization and continue his unfinished work. This contrast made everyone present stunned. Some people applauded with red eyes, while others whispered that it was too unreasonable.
In fact, the commemoration itself is strange.The United States has always had a tradition of both parties to commemorate public figures, but this time none of the Democrats came, became a pure Republican rally.
According to the data of Pew Research Center, nearly 60% of Americans are worried that political violence will increase, and Kirk's assassination and this memorial service have put this split on the table. Here Erica is calling for forgiveness, and there politicians are still fomenting opposition, and the two voices collide in a particularly harsh way.
Looking back at us, we have long been accustomed to the harmony and stability of society. This movement turns private funerals into political battlefields, even the campus, the stadium has become the situation of opposing positions, it is difficult to understand.
Some say she is too stupid to forgive the murderer easily; others say she is big, with forgiveness to the sharpened contradictions.
