    “What really just hits me hard,” she said, continuing, “is when i’m in the grocery store, and I see his hot sauce, I want to buy it.”

    Audible eye roll

    If she keeps crying on her marketing opportunities she is going to skip the last stage of her marketing potential, selling charlie kirk branded Depends, industrial fertilizer, and enema kits. Think of all the money she is leaving on the table. Hundreds of dollars, maybe. Certainly tens of dollars. I say bust out her glitter ice skating outfits, buck up, and keep a stiff upper lip. This is what being a republican is all about. she also needs to show some cleavage and get that domestic-violence looking mar-a-lago face the right adores so much.

    When I initially read it, I thought she meant, like, his favorite hot sauce. Like maybe he really liked Cholula. Nah lmao she’s literally just plugging her dead husband’s brand lmao these people are ghouls

      Looks like there was a Fox viewer mentioned in the article who thought the same

      A user wrote, “When I first saw this clip, I thought she meant that Charlie Kirk has a favorite type of hot sauce and when she sees it, it reminds her of him. But no, Charlie Kirk actually owned a hot sauce brand that Erika makes money from.”

      I love hot sauce myself and I’ve even made some stuff with hot peppers I’ve grown, but when it comes from a right wing douchebag I can’t help but think he was just doing it for his brand. Guns! Hot sauce! Xtreminate your life with KIRK SAUCE!

    Coming onto store shelves…

    “Charlie Kirk’s Shot Sauce: It is a fountain of flavor!”

    The bottle opens as it should.

    Celebrity Net Worth revised Erika Kirk’s wealth projection to $12 million by late 2025, a figure that Grok adjusted upward to $20 million.

    Random number from the synthetic text extruder. This is what passes for journalism now?

      It’s just an old photo. That’s Kirk’s grandfather as an American football player. Iowa’s first passing quarterback. I have no idea what that means.

      In other news, the hotsauce website still refers to Charlie in the present tense, saying he reaches thousands of people weekly on his show.

      Very funny to me his own hot sauce hasn’t been updated since his death.

        I have no idea what that means.

        American football used to be like rugby, the rules didn’t allow forward passes. The rules were changed a little after 1900, so it’s improbable that Kirk’s grandfather was old enough. Great-grandfather, maybe. Or more likely it’s just more grifter bullshit.

      She is honoring the memory of his assassinated husband by promoting rebottled hot sauce.

      Jesus, some people are so insensitive to true grief.

        I guess ridiculousness gets views, and there is plenty of that right now.

        I just want news. Tell me what happened. That’s it. No opinions, no discussion, no sensationalism.

      I hear Charlie Kirk’s hotsauce is neck and neck in quality to shitty mass produced hotsauce that has toxic preservatives like sodium benzoate in it.

      If only we had a neckromancer maybe we could reborn kirk to disown his bitch wife.
