The report did not say she received 350k. It said the “yearly” premium was 350k. Turning point USA paid 30k a month on his insurance policy 🤯. Erika Kirk most likely received 15-20 million dollars

Serious question. What kind of grown man tries to put down a woman by saying “she doesn’t have any famous friends!”? And also says she’s not friends with her past employers, I mean what?

Imagine you bring a guest on, lies, then goes back and apologizes to the person they lied about all while not knowing the names of the people he was lying to. 😂

It would make perfect sense that he had a large life insurance policy. He was getting death threats.
