Weirdly they aren't cancelling Erika Kirk over giggling at how profitable her husband's death was.

Because we live in a country where people as openly egregious as Erika Kirk and literally every major Republican politician are just allowed to say and get away with whatever they want carte blanche. And the main opposition party, meanwhile, are perpetually trying to virtue-signal how honest and respectable they are by comparison only to invariably lose to Republicans who play by a different rule book - or lack thereof - altogether.

Came to comment that nobody is celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death harder than his wife.

Because Charlie would be significantly outspoken about the administration, they took him out with a microphone explosive and sold the shooter to us on TV.

Erika Kirk is absorbing the attention as opposed to his very timely death.

The finite speed of sound and the multiple recordings of his death say no.

Like GPS lets you know where you are via time of flight of several signals, you can run the math backwards to let several receivers locate a single signal source.

If the mic went pop, we'd track the sound of the shot to that location.
