A easy, but highly effective, message.
This weekend, Ernest opened for Lainey Wilson on the Brookshire Grocery Area in Bossier Metropolis, Louisiana as a part of her 2025 Whirlwind tour, and like many different nation stars have completed this weekend, together with his buddy Morgan Wallen, Ernest took time to honor Conservative activist and media persona, Charlie Kirk.
Charlie was shot and killed on September tenth whereas talking at Utah Valley College courtyard as a part of The American Comeback Tour, which was hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley.
In the course of the occasion, Kirk was sitting beneath a tent with a large crowd gathered round him as he spoke to the scholars. A singular shot was fired at Kirk, putting him within the neck, and he died shortly thereafter, forsaking two very younger kids and his spouse, Erika.
It has been extremely unhappy to see and examine, and I can solely think about how heartbroken Erika, his children and household are. On Thursday, Erika was seen arriving again dwelling in Phoenix, Arizona with Charlie’s physique, alongside Vice President JD Vance and Second Woman Usha Vance.
My coronary heart breaks for her and the household:

Many from either side of the political aisle have supplied their prayers and condolences to Erika and her household, and loads of nation musicians have been talking out in regards to the political violence that occurred this week, which has completely no place in America.
Erika gave an extremely highly effective tackle to the world on Friday evening, simply days after the horrific assassination of her husband, and I used to be blown away at her grace and energy within the face of such evil and tragedy that not solely impacts our nation, however her private life, so deeply.
She’s a real believer and a power to be reckoned with, that’s for positive:
And Ernest stored it brief when addressing the horrific tragedy that took Charlie’s life, acknowledging the mindless lack of life that occurred, and explaining that he believes there are simply two issues that may occur on this nation going ahead: “It’s chaos, or, we grow to be the USA of America once more”
After the heavy and unhappy week I feel many people have had this week, in some ways, it actually can really feel so simple as that.
After all, that’s to not reduce the horrific tragedy of Charlie’s assassination in any manner, a younger man misplaced his life, a spouse misplaced her husband and two very younger kids misplaced their father, one thing I can’t even start to think about, however we should discover some type of manner ahead that’s far much less divisive than what it’s been like on this nation during the last decide-plus:
“Lots of people and households misplaced family members this week to pointless violence, in my view. And that sucks. And there’s two issues that may occur from that: It’s chaos, or… we grow to be the USA of America once more.”
Amen… the group appeared fairly amped up by it, too, and stuffed the sector with cheers as he spoke:
