"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."

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!

    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.

    I've heard sometimes hot sauce just squirts out the neck of the bottle for no reason...

    Quote: While the exact net worth of the Kirk family is not known, prior to his passing, NewsNation reported that the 37-year-old TPUSA CEO held an estimated net worth of roughly $2 million. Following Kirk's assassination in September, Celebrity Net Worth revised Erika Kirk's wealth projection to $12 million by late 2025, a figure that Grok adjusted upward to $20 million.

    Glad to know they're using only the best sources

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

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

    It's annoying that news networks don't show videos from things that happen on other news networks. I feel like that's literally the definition of fair use. But, it's definitely why they don't. I think it's more of an industry standard to not though.

    But, it's the worst case, because they don't even link to to the source. They just write about a video. I feel your frustration.

    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.

    I didn't know this bozo had a hot sauce brand and looking at pictures of the bottles I'm shocked he put a black man on the label.

    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's probably just upset that her outfit doesnt have enough glitter on it. She is wearing giant gold rings and bracelets like an 1980s rapper, though-- she can be happy about that. She should really get one of those gold mouth grilles.

    The bottom of the barrel in terms of being journalistically worthwhile, but still better to link to the original article instead of the MSN portal.

    The only surprise is the hot sauces are gluten free...

    And somehow the 3 hot sauces they have use the exact same ingredients and all are a 4/5 for heat. Even the ghost pepper one.

    10/10 grift from ms Kirk
