Fun fact, if you ever wanna see if an actor can cry on command or not you look at the reflection on their pupil when they start tearing up. If you see studio lights reflected they're looking into the spots to force themselves to tear up. Old stage trick. Totally unrelated to this video tho, surely
It's true. I'm clinically depressed and part of my diagnosis was to watch that joke 100 times. Was told after that if I'd so much as raised the corners of my mouth I wouldn't have been diagnosed with the condition
I've been hearing that crap since UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to try hauling Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
There was one single tear from both eyes and it was on cue when she said “and laugh”. Very telling. Couldn’t even cry when she said the “my husband was murdered.” Bit. You’d think a grieving widow wouldn’t be able to say that at all through tears even if it’s a planned speech.
everyone grieves differently but there's a reason all your friends and family immediately bring you huge casseroles when someone in your household dies, especially unexpectedly. they get together and work out who's sitting with you every hour for a while after.
point being, I can't imagine being able to even be in public yet. much less be on tour
As a Brit I watched Ozzy Osbourne's funeral over here and when I saw Sharon hell's bells she was an utter wreck, she could hardly walk, let alone go on fund raising tours within days of her husbands death, and the Osbourne family were aware he was on his way out. This woman's husband was murdered and she was out and about faking it so quickly with pomp and fireworks. It was truly mental to see
Exactly. I agree. Sharon loved that man. She was an absolute mess. This isn’t that. That’s all I’m saying. There’s something incredibly off about this.
I know everyone grieves differently and maybe this is her way of going about it. Never being home, never turning down an opportunity to talk about it, over and over and over again.
And I know it isn’t the same thing, but the most recent death of someone close to me was my dog. I couldn’t even say her name without crying. Stayed in my house crying off and on, couldn’t bother to take a shower or get dressed, just laid on her dog bed for hours on end, for a solid week.
That’s what’s getting to me the most. She says his name 100 times a day without shedding a tear.
I’m a born and raised southerner. My momma would have crushed me with her high heels if I ever wore leather pants to a memorial. Ever. Plaid flannel is okay, every southern funeral and memorial has at least one Bubba that wears his good plaid flannel to a funeral or wake. But not leather, line has to be drawn somewhere.
I don’t have a mourning dress, because I don’t wear dresses anymore and my mother knew as a kid I was never fond of dresses. I’d always shrug them off the minute I got home from church 😂. HOWEVER, she would tear me a new one if I EVER thought to wear leather pants to a memorial. Absolutely not.
it's absolutely the same thing. gatekeeping loss is just another coping mechanism. I've lost a human best friend and an animal best friend, both unexpectedly and away from each other (seemed to make it worse that I couldn't be there). I cannot tell the difference in my grief. they both sucked the same ways.
Just my humble opinion here, but soooo much in America seems over the top drama and theatrical, it's like a performance for almost everything we see, even in the news. There's so little that seems genuine it's as though these people get a Hollywood script writer and director in. From this woman to Trump's Administration every time they open their mouths it doesn't seem real. All very peculiar indeed
I sneeze 8 to 10 times if I eat a mint. Every time. My record is 12 sneezes. I can't drive and eat mints because I haven't yet learned to sneeze with my eyes open.
I think it's so funny how Candace Owens of all people is the only person who genuinely seems to miss him. She's the only one that actually appears to give a shit beyond exploiting his death for clout.
Unironically, this was kind of the case with his economic views, I got into several debates with him about tariffs over the years, because we operated in concentric circles and every time we would debate he would always bash the Austrian School of economics, even though I was cross-trained and didn’t ascribe to any one school of thought. I will give this to Vivek, he was much more pleasant to debate and talk with.
Kirk was a bigot, a misogynist, and a racist who regularly excused the very same sort of gun violence that ended his life.
In 2023, Kirk said, “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.”
"Death penalties should be public, should be quick. It should be televised," Kirk said.
Kirk said in 2018 that gun violence in Chicago was the fault of “a lack-of-father problem in the Black community.”
Promoting racism was one of Kirk’s most consistent stances as he led the right-wing pressure groups Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
In 2024, he launched a campaign attacking the legacy of revered civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Kirk said King was “[a] myth has been created and it has grown totally out of control.” At a conference he held the previous year, Kirk said King was “awful” and “not a good person.”
Kirk claimed that the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 had become a “beast” and is an “anti-white weapon.”
In 2023, Kirk said, “I don't believe Black History Month is worth the kind of full month that it is, at all.” He said the celebration “only deepens any sort of racial wounds and creates more bigotry.”
Kirk was a promoter of the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which falsely claims Latino migrants are attempting to replace white people. As part of that crusade in August, he falsely accused Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who is Black, of engaging in an “attempt to eliminate the white population in this country.”
In Kirk’s eyes, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the court, was an “unqualified” nominee and the “recipient of affirmative action.”
Following flooding in Texas in July, Kirk said the “death toll likely would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion].”
Kirk repeatedly pushed anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, with a specific focus on opposing transgender existence.
During a discussion of gay rights in 2024, Kirk referenced the Bible and noted that passages indicating “lay with another man and be stoned to death” were “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”
Discussing Trump’s presidential campaign in 2024, Kirk urged his favored candidate to trigger “Nuremberg-style” trials for doctors performing gender-affirming care if he won. The Nuremberg trials were post-World War II court trials that sought to prosecute leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes against humanity.
Kirk described transgender people as “groomers,” and said transgender children were “mutilat[ing]” their bodies. He also called for transgender athletes to be physically confronted for the purported sin of trying to play sports.
Kirk also used antisemitic stereotypes as part of his broadcasts. In one show, he said, “Jewish dollars” had funded “Cultural Marxist ideas.” In another, he invoked the longstanding antisemitic trope of Jewish control of colleges, Hollywood, and nonprofit groups.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kirk said vaccine requirements were “medical apartheid” and used his group to oppose vaccination. Kirk also peddled the baseless conspiracy that 1.2 million people died from vaccinations.
After Trump lost the 2020 election, Kirk called for then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden and violate the Constitution.
Kirk’s group also operated a website called Professor Watchlist, which listed college professors’ names and their pictures as part of an attempt to incite harassment against those who deviate from conservative groupthink on a host of issues.
Kirk’s killing was wrong. It was an outgrowth of the pro-gun culture that he himself helped foster. But he wasn’t a good person, and the news media and others should not erase what the man stood for throughout his time in the public eye.
No one specifically, which is why it's so sick. He's just talking about the death penalty in general, complaining that appeals take too long and that people on death row should be publicly executed and children should be forced to watch them. Also that they should be sponsored by corporations like a NASCAR race. Dude was a MASSIVE piece of garbage.
True, but saying to broadcast it on Pay-Per-View is implying that at least some kids would see it. I think it's a hilarious bit, I was probably like 12 when I first saw it.
That's not entirely true it seems. He's obviously being pro-death penalty in general, and there was more talk about kids watching executions in general like you say, but he was talking more specifically in these clips.
The first bit is actually edited. He said "I would totally tune in to see some pedo get their head chopped off" and somebody edited out the "pedo".
And in the second part he is talking about "this guy in Indiana who went in and killed a pregnant woman and her three kids".
I’m pretty sure he was talking about pedophiles, and content creator who made this video edited that out. You can hear the skip. I have seen this video before and I’m pretty sure he said was talking about pedophiles.
The content creator is lazy. Kirk said that children dying in school shootings was worth protecting gun rights. That would have been a better and more accurate representation of the point he tried to make.
Fuck the Kirks. I don’t give a shit about them. But posting edited videos to make Charlie look bad isn’t necessary. He said plenty of bad things. Seems like the content creator just wanted views. Social media is making us sick.
I'm not quite sure he is. I can't find this exact clip but it seems like everything he says about capital punishment lines up with this general view that its good and should be seen.
In one clip he explains that "murder" and "kill" are two completely different Hebrew words, meaning it can be right to kill a person and that "a life for a life" is specifically the ONLY law in all five books of the Torah. He continues that even "Sabbath" isn't even in five books, leading the audience to consider that killing a person is actually more religiously justified than following the Sabbath.
"Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to see public executions?"
This is Tammy Faye Baker. Wife of Jim Baker. They were famous televangelists in the '80s. They defrauded hundreds (if not thousands) of people out of money.
Tammy was famous for crying buckets of fake tears, so well that ALLLL that eye makeup would run down her cheeks.
His murder was gruesome. It was brutal, and it was hard to watch on video. But you can’t say this motherfucker didn’t have it coming, or didn’t advocate for the very thing that took his life.
What was gruesome about it? He was shot once and collapsed. Most people die a much worse death. Ever seen what happens when bullets are sprayed on people on their limbs, etc...blood pouring everywhere, they squirming in pain and then dying minutes later? Or people get stabbed? Or run over by cars? Or die in stampedes?
In my opinion, it was gruesome. I wasn’t a fan of the guy and thought he was abysmal, but I didn’t want to see him, or anyone else, go out like that. His facial expression after he was hit, the way his body postures, the instantaneous death, were pretty awful to me. Sure, there are many people that die in far more horrific ways, but the video of his murder was pretty jarring to me.
She has no idea about a lot of the shit he said on that show.
She was too busy spending that paper and being proud of a life that she deliberately ignored the source of funding for. Can't be bothered to keep up with his bullshit. She has shopping and competing with her girlfriends to do.
You'd think a mother who lost their children's father would spend more time with said children, yet she's off doing interviews, and whenever else she's doing.
Careful what you wish for. Words have power and in today’s world, sometimes there are too many nuts who might see “personalities” and want to challenge what they believe in. There are many more things he’s said and it riles unstable people up enough to silence them with death. Violence IMO never solves the problem, it just compounds it because you get rid of one and there’s someone in the wings ready to step in their shoes. Discourse is the best way, but again the unstable people out there aren’t interested.
The need for these people to be a victim is exhausting. I don't know anyone who watches it and laughs. I do know a lot of people who think it's ridiculous that he was celebrated in the way that he was considering the things he said, the hate he peddled. They live in a bubble where they get to ignore reality and just craft a perspective that doesn't exist to justify their terrible choices
That feels so performative. Honestly, on my first watch, i didnt realize this women was Erika, and I still felt that it was fake af. I just dont get that feeling that she's actually sad, despite her best effort to look the part.
She's been doing so many interviews and public appearances and stuff. Shouldn't she be, oh idk, helping her grieving kids through this? They lose their dad and their mom sticks them with nannies or other family members while she goes on a press tour? Seems odd to me. Most public figures ask for privacy while they recoup, but she goes looking for publicity.
Has anyone ever noticed that they both have like the same face? Like the shape, eye displacement and forehead. They look like they could be brother and sister. This has nothing to do with anything. Just an observation.
I think its really weird to call for her deportation, even as a joke. It’s normalizing the idea of deporting people due to political alignment, something that the current admin absolutely wants normalized. Don’t do their job for them.

You're bang on, and don't call me Shirley.
When will that joke get old lol obviously today isn't that day!
I think if you find that joke not funny, you’re clinically depressed. It’s in the diagnostic criteria. 🙂
It's true. I'm clinically depressed and part of my diagnosis was to watch that joke 100 times. Was told after that if I'd so much as raised the corners of my mouth I wouldn't have been diagnosed with the condition
I’m at work on a Saturday morning and it still made me laugh 😂
I’m clinically depressed and I still find it funny
You’re getting better. 🙂
That joke used to be funny... It still is but it used to be too
Ok, Mr. Hedburg.
Escalators are one of the only things that still work, even when they're not working
“Sorry for the CONVENIENCE.”
It can only become stairs.
That joke won't ever get old.
Neither will Chucky Kirk
Woooof the way I spit out my drink
Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit that joke.
And from it you can make all kinds of things. You can make a hat, a brooch, a pterodactyl…
That dude stole all the scenes.
And Leon's getting laaaaaarrrrgerrr
I can’t tell you
Youre right, its surely not today.
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Yay! I'm not the only old git in this thread.
you’ve been in a Turkish prison, I see
I've been hearing that crap since UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to try hauling Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
I was over Under and he was under Dunne
Ever been to a Turkish prison?
Surely you can’t be serious?
I am serious.
And stop calling me Shirley.
He’s all over the place, what an asshole!
I knew it! I’m surrounded by assholes!
Ever seen a grown man naked?
It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.
Lmao

Yep. We live in WWE universe now. Fucking clown shoes.
😂
Don't forget the black leather mourning pants
I’m a born and raised southerner. My momma would have crushed me with her high heels if I ever wore leather pants to a memorial. Ever.

Looking into the light.
She has the most evil eyes, I swear.
They are so god-damn empty
That's a good trick. I usually just remember my life and let go
That's what I do, think about your life... gets me really choked up.
What I like to do is:
Close your eyes, look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane!
Wait, no, that's Slayer.

Well that was an interesting read certainly
This Is also how you can make yourself sneeze for certain people
Photic Sneeze Reflex, it's a hereditary trait that affects about 18-35% of people
I’m one of those people. I thought everyone did it
I love that I have this reflex. Get it over with
I sneeze 8 to 10 times if I eat a mint. Every time. My record is 12 sneezes. I can't drive and eat mints because I haven't yet learned to sneeze with my eyes open.
Just a quick observation: I might would quit eating them all together lol
I hear if you sneeze with your eyes open, you die anyway.
I think your eyeballs may pop out.
probably true, but I just stared at a 100W lightbulb for 30 seconds…it didn’t work and I’m seeing spots, I feel dumb
Have you tried it while being a thespian?
Spot lights use a bulb slightly brighter than whats in your lamp
The sniffs she does with her nose doesn’t sound right either
fake sniffles
The 100% explains why she is ALWAYS pausing and looking up!! Holy shit. Thank you.
My girlfriend can cry on demand. These are definitely crocodile tears
She also uses tear solution

I don't miss Charlie Kirk and all the hateful things he had to say.
Erika Kirk sure misses him a lot, so it would be good to remind her of all these things her husband used to say. For old times’ sake.
No she doesn't. How would she grift his death if he was alive...? 😉
I think it's so funny how Candace Owens of all people is the only person who genuinely seems to miss him. She's the only one that actually appears to give a shit beyond exploiting his death for clout.
Yeah I noticed that too. I'm like, now she was in love with the guy. The wife? Not so much.
She misses him.
Then she chambers another round.
Why would I listen to some single mom? It's not what Charlie boy would have wanted.
Why would we miss a nazi bigot?
Dude was a fascist propagandist. They are trying to make a martyr out of a Temu version of Goebbels
Yeah but it happened to her, so it’s worse. It’s ok if it happens to someone else that she doesn’t know.
That behavior is pretty standard for toddlers, narcissists, sociopaths, and GOP members.
Did you have to be so redundant at the end there?
It’s not always clear to GOP members.
These groups have way too much in common
Most toddlers grow out of it.
Especially if they are poor or people of color or socialists
[removed]
Well. Fuck.
We will?
Edit: misread it
You know what they say, "anything with a hole is a goal"
Okay, I genuinely laughed out loud at that. Bloody funny.
Wow, dark humor lol
That's incredibly poor taste and now I know what I want for Christmas.
Pity it isn't more accurate. They need to turn the flow rate way higher
They also need to put the face way smaller
I like how he was always at 119%
Holy fuck!
surely this is generated by ai and not a real fountain.
Of course it's not real, his face isn't small enough.
At the end kirk did lean left.

Baleen. Kirk was a filter feeder in stark contrast to his lack of racist / sexist / POS filter.
Lol Diddy.
Nibba look shiny to me!

Oh that’s dark! Lol

Charlie Kirk didn't deserve what he got...but he did get what he thought others deserved.
He died the way he lived- with blood on his hands.
Considering the fact he is directly responsible for funding a terrorist attack on our nation.
This was a lot closer to what he deserved than roaming free to instigate his next terrorist attack.
He also directly inspired the Christchurch mosque massacre
I agree. I don’t think ANYONE should be executed. However, Charlie clearly did, so….

Thanks for the list. It's important people know the truth about him
All of this and people still defend him saying it was taken out of context, insanity

Who was he talking about?
No one specifically, which is why it's so sick. He's just talking about the death penalty in general, complaining that appeals take too long and that people on death row should be publicly executed and children should be forced to watch them. Also that they should be sponsored by corporations like a NASCAR race. Dude was a MASSIVE piece of garbage.
George Carlin did this exact bit. But of course he made it funny.
He also didn't insist that kids as young as 13 should be watching it in person after school. Kirk did.
True, but saying to broadcast it on Pay-Per-View is implying that at least some kids would see it. I think it's a hilarious bit, I was probably like 12 when I first saw it.
Well yeah, he was big on pointing out the absurdity of the way things are.
Whereas Kirk wanted the absurdities.
What I wouldn't give to hear what that legend would have to say about today's state of things...
That's not entirely true it seems. He's obviously being pro-death penalty in general, and there was more talk about kids watching executions in general like you say, but he was talking more specifically in these clips.
The first bit is actually edited. He said "I would totally tune in to see some pedo get their head chopped off" and somebody edited out the "pedo".
And in the second part he is talking about "this guy in Indiana who went in and killed a pregnant woman and her three kids".
He was talking about pedos earlier in the clip
I’m pretty sure he was talking about pedophiles, and content creator who made this video edited that out. You can hear the skip. I have seen this video before and I’m pretty sure he said was talking about pedophiles.
The content creator is lazy. Kirk said that children dying in school shootings was worth protecting gun rights. That would have been a better and more accurate representation of the point he tried to make.
Fuck the Kirks. I don’t give a shit about them. But posting edited videos to make Charlie look bad isn’t necessary. He said plenty of bad things. Seems like the content creator just wanted views. Social media is making us sick.
Why does it matter who he is talking about? Saying that you would go and watch a public execution is fucked up.
Yes it is.
Why did the content creator edit out who he was talking about? That’s my issue. He should not have done that.
Charlie Kirk can burn in hell. I don’t care about him and he doesn’t deserve defending. But we need to make sure we are sharing accurate information.
I'm not quite sure he is. I can't find this exact clip but it seems like everything he says about capital punishment lines up with this general view that its good and should be seen.
In one clip he explains that "murder" and "kill" are two completely different Hebrew words, meaning it can be right to kill a person and that "a life for a life" is specifically the ONLY law in all five books of the Torah.

What's the big deal dude, he lied all the time! There is no point being some sort of a 100% fair and honest guy with a bunch of scammers
It would be crazy if he wanted to see pedos public execution but still supported a pedo for president
Probably Jesus or someone idk
Considering that they're now rounding up everyone named "Jesus" you're probably right.
He was talking about a murder that happened.

However he also thinks Joe biden should get the death penalty, so.. im aure he'd also love to watch his execution. https://youtu.be/0zea3ncK16g?si=EJ4mzlz8zHM8oApe
I don’t find her attractive AT ALL. I’m not sure what other people are seeing.
Can't wait until she gets the final Mar-A-Lago face butchering...

She’s a Stepford Ghoul baked to about 80% already.
I'm waiting for SSweeney to get this fit lmao.

🥵🥵🥵
I mean the 200x zoom in this clip isn’t doing her any favors here. But yeah she’s got the MAGAblican look to her
Her face keeps getting fatter by the month.
She seriously has the face of a 300lb woman, and it doesn't make any sense.
CK kinda had a giant head and tiny face thing going on
Yeah like Humpty Dumpty from Puss in Boots
He laughed and made jokes about George Floyd, I’ll feel sympathy for her when she apologizes to George’s family for her husbands ghoulish behavior.
Yeah Charlie Kirk was an absolute cunt and the world is better off without him in it. His wife can go fuck herself, she's an enabler at best.
I mean, tell me there isn’t a similarity.

I'm not knowledgable, who is she?
That would be Tammy Faye Baker a grade A grifter who was married to Jim Baker a televangelist who grifted many a sucker out of their money.
This is Tammy Faye Baker. Wife of Jim Baker. They were famous televangelists in the '80s. They defrauded hundreds (if not thousands) of people out of money.
Tammy was famous for crying buckets of fake tears, so well that ALLLL that eye makeup would run down her cheeks.
She was the OG Erika Kirk before Erika was cool.
First thing that came to my mind.
His murder was gruesome. It was brutal, and it was hard to watch on video. But you can’t say this motherfucker didn’t have it coming, or didn’t advocate for the very thing that took his life.
What was gruesome about it? He was shot once and collapsed. Most people die a much worse death. Ever seen what happens when bullets are sprayed on people on their limbs, etc...blood pouring everywhere, they squirming in pain and then dying minutes later? Or people get stabbed? Or run over by cars? Or die in stampedes?
In my opinion, it was gruesome. I wasn’t a fan of the guy and thought he was abysmal, but I didn’t want to see him, or anyone else, go out like that. His facial expression after he was hit, the way his body postures, the instantaneous death, were pretty awful to me. Sure, there are many people that die in far more horrific ways, but the video of his murder was pretty jarring to me.
I think any video where someone dies is gruesome. That’s why I don’t watch them. I’m super upset whenever I get tricked into watching one.
Between murders...? Nah.
Rules for thee not for me
Tbh charlie kirk hasn’t even really said anything hateful over the last few months
He really is a changed man
She has no idea about a lot of the shit he said on that show.
She was too busy spending that paper and being proud of a life that she deliberately ignored the source of funding for. Can't be bothered to keep up with his bullshit. She has shopping and competing with her girlfriends to do.
I'd rather think she does. It's just shameless grifting.
All these grifting interviews she's doing, and not once did she thank her husband for those Vance-grabbing leather pants.

You'd think a mother who lost their children's father would spend more time with said children, yet she's off doing interviews, and whenever else she's doing.
Charlie was a giver, he gave us the equivalent of what he wanted, So selfless.
She has evil eyes. There’s a soul there but it’s a writhing mass of malignant malice.
Did she even know who her husband was? It's almost as if she had never listened to any of his speaking engagements or podcasts at all.
With, or without gang violence?
Does anyone get Beavis vibes here?
No, just Tammy Faye Baker vibes here.

One of the least convincing humans I’ve ever seen.
Human?
Republicans ARE Snowflakes.
Careful what you wish for. Words have power and in today’s world, sometimes there are too many nuts who might see “personalities” and want to challenge what they believe in. There are many more things he’s said and it riles unstable people up enough to silence them with death. Violence IMO never solves the problem, it just compounds it because you get rid of one and there’s someone in the wings ready to step in their shoes. Discourse is the best way, but again the unstable people out there aren’t interested.
The shit that man said, it was suicide with extra steps as far as I’m concerned
looks like she read the comments about no tears coming out
Man! Is she hateable!
The need for these people to be a victim is exhausting. I don't know anyone who watches it and laughs. I do know a lot of people who think it's ridiculous that he was celebrated in the way that he was considering the things he said, the hate he peddled. They live in a bubble where they get to ignore reality and just craft a perspective that doesn't exist to justify their terrible choices
Right wingers pretending like they lost their Gandhi
That feels so performative. Honestly, on my first watch, i didnt realize this women was Erika, and I still felt that it was fake af. I just dont get that feeling that she's actually sad, despite her best effort to look the part.
The hypocrisy doesn't even shock me anymore.
She's been doing so many interviews and public appearances and stuff. Shouldn't she be, oh idk, helping her grieving kids through this? They lose their dad and their mom sticks them with nannies or other family members while she goes on a press tour? Seems odd to me. Most public figures ask for privacy while they recoup, but she goes looking for publicity.
High resolution on loop to be clear
Has anyone ever noticed that they both have like the same face? Like the shape, eye displacement and forehead. They look like they could be brother and sister. This has nothing to do with anything. Just an observation.
I am fine with my ideology as long as it doesn't affect myself.
I think its really weird to call for her deportation, even as a joke. It’s normalizing the idea of deporting people due to political alignment, something that the current admin absolutely wants normalized. Don’t do their job for them.
Dead in the eyes
That close up resembles her with this.
Yaay there's something very sick in my soul
Taken out of context as always
Is it just me or did she kinda morph into jd Vance ?
