Politico’s Rachael Bade: Erika Kirk Is Going to Become ‘a Political Leader in a Way We Haven’t Seen Before’; ‘She’s Going to Take the Mantle’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BADE: "I want to say something, though, about Erika Kirk’s speech last night, because I watched it when she gave it. And I have this vivid memory when my father in law passed in 2011 and seeing my mother, my mother in law struggle to get out the door to the funeral and say, how do people do this? And that was after he died, a few days after he died. This is a woman who, not 48 hours after her husband passed, stood up, found the strength to stood up at a time when her whole life is, you know, crumbling, right? Her kids will not have a father to send them to preschool to walk them down the aisle. She lost the love of her life and yet somehow found a way to stand up and eulogize her husband, you know, in his studio. So I think that we should watch her as well.”
