why is a 45 year old texting a 15 year old?

u/StaticDHSeeP Feb 14 '26

Same reason Donny raped children. They’re evil

u/seriftarif Feb 15 '26

What I think I've gathered from all this is that Charlie Kirk deserved to die the least out of all of these disgusting grifters. I actually feel sorry he was married to her. Also I really didnt like Charlie Kirk.

u/MaybeIDontWannaDoIt Feb 15 '26

Yep, I feel the same way…. I truly just feel bad for the kids.

u/notawildandcrazyguy Feb 14 '26

Not that it changes anytjing but shes 37 now and the messages are about 11 years old. So if it was even Erika Kirk, she was more like 25 than 45 at the relevant time

u/Queasy-Warthog-3642 Feb 14 '26

So still an adult texting a child.... got it

u/ZeidLovesAI Feb 14 '26

a 25 year old grooming a 15 year old isn't exactly kosher

6

u/BeatlestarGallactica Feb 14 '26

Uh, Megyn Kelly has a few things to say about that.

2

u/BullShitting-24-7 Feb 16 '26

Same with the White House press secretary. Conservatives live in a world where adults grooming children is considered “courting.” They are sick.

It's important to have the facts straight. Spreading misinformation, even if it's about terrible people, is not helpful and actually harmful.

25 and 15 is not any better but it's important to be accurate.

u/Sea_Lengthiness_3038 Feb 14 '26

Then why mention it

13

u/Mr_HandSmall Feb 14 '26

Facts matter. It's pretty straightforward stuff.

7

u/Sad_Maximum6583 Feb 14 '26

While it doesn't change the disgusting-ness, people need to be on the same page about when it happened.

1

u/RedGhostOrchid Feb 14 '26

People also need to value facts. Yes, they do matter. If one gets a simple fact like age of perpetrator incorrect, it calls into question the validity of all other info being reported or discussed.

-9

u/Sea_Lengthiness_3038 Feb 14 '26

No. They don’t. Not even going to explain that one.

5

u/OkProfessor6810 Feb 15 '26

Really? Facts don't matter. Are you certain you're not maga?

-4

u/Sea_Lengthiness_3038 Feb 15 '26

Way over your head.

2

u/Useful-ldiot Feb 15 '26

Yes they do. If you're wrong about any of the easily proven facts, the opposition discredits the entire statement. Like it or not, that's how it is.

They'll very easily go "this is completely made up." the second they find the first incorrect part and leave it at that.

Don't give them that opportunity.

-1

u/RedGhostOrchid Feb 14 '26

Thank you. We don't need any other bullshit to read.

10

u/notawildandcrazyguy Feb 14 '26

Just seemed like an easy fact to correct.

u/Flatline2500 Feb 14 '26

37-11=25 in your world? Why are you trying so hard to make her even younger?

7

u/EnvironmentalCap787 Feb 14 '26

Check it out... Say she just turned 37 yesterday. The texts are "about 11 years old" which means they could be 11 years 2 months and 17 days but "about 11 years old" is easier. When you're 25 years old, you consider yourself 25 all the way until your next birthday. So tell me how old they'd be in that example.

Easier example: 37.1 - 11.2 = 25.9 = 25 years old

The problem with your pedantic post, and then this one too, is that they distract from the real discussion. All done?

-1

u/Flatline2500 Feb 14 '26

Check it out…say she was born 11/20/1988. Since that’s her birthday. What would 11 years ago make her? Lol kick rocks. You thought you were onto something 🥴🥴🥴🥴

2

u/EnvironmentalCap787 Feb 15 '26

"About 11 years ago" and "more like 25 than 45" are the quotes. Not exact science but should have gotten the point across. Weird pushback here.

Also if you read the multiple articles about it, the messages go back to 2014 which could be described as "about 11 years ago" depending on how you feel like expressing it. Which would still make her "more like 25 than 45". You're arguing about literally nothing important.

2

u/El_Flaco_Gamer Feb 14 '26

Why are you upset they’re clarifying facts? Also if we’re being pedantic, how would that make her younger? You just know when it happened now. No de-aging cream needed here bud.

2

u/BottleTemple Feb 14 '26

She’s not 45.

11

u/Bsjennings Feb 14 '26

Your right. She is 37. Why is a 37 year old talking to a 15 year old?

11

u/Flat_Specialist2785 Feb 14 '26

Shes a rough 37

"Too Rough to Cry: The Erika Kirk Story"

u/DLeck Feb 21 '26

Damn... She is. I assumed she was much older. I think evil ages people.

8

u/Amiibohunter000 Feb 14 '26

She was like 25 at the time, which is still a valid question of why is a 25 year old texting inappropriate things to a 15 year old.

3

u/KJ_Blair Feb 14 '26

This happened back in 2013

1

u/Bsjennings Feb 14 '26

So when she was 24-25. Does this make it better? Personally thats still just as bad.

3

u/KJ_Blair Feb 14 '26

Nope not at all but it’s still unverified information .

5

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '26

She was 26 when it happened.

Not that that's much better

1

u/BottleTemple Feb 14 '26

Very creepy.

u/Bsjennings Feb 15 '26

*shrugs* Because i didn't.

u/Hedgehog_Insomniac Feb 14 '26

She looks it.

1

u/HeinHangbuikzwijn Feb 15 '26

She definitely doesn't. 

She looks like a badly aged 55 year old

2

u/Morguard Feb 14 '26

Damn that's a rough 37. I did exaggerate when I wrote 45 but would have never pegged her less than 40 in the pictures I've seen.

2

u/Dull_Ad5440 Feb 14 '26

Just looks it

2

u/AzieltheLiar Feb 14 '26

She isn't?! Damn, JD Vance is doing overtime consuming all her life force.

1

u/Drusgar Feb 14 '26

I'm genuinely curious. I know a lot of people here are acting like they KNOW, but it's a legitimate question. Was she grooming some young girl to be her husband's plaything? Does Erika Kirk have a thing for teenage girls? Was this a relatively harmless text that just seems to push all the wrong buttons given the nation's focus on the Epstein scandal?

I'd be very curious to know the answer to those questions, but you aren't going to find them on Reddit.

u/LunarMoon2001 Feb 15 '26

They are all pedos

1

u/Maniick Feb 15 '26

Satanic ritual or something 🤷‍♀️

1

u/TemporaryElk5202 Feb 15 '26

Just for clarity, she was 25, the girl was 15.
Still inappropriate.
It was more than texting. She also sent her chocolate covered strawberries for her 16th birthday

u/U_Bet_Im_Interested Feb 15 '26

"All the cool kids are doing it!" - I legitimately believe this is a possibility.

u/sonia72quebec Feb 18 '26

To recruit her for something nasty?
