Mary Katharine Ham, Fox News Contributor, OutKick columnist, and co-author of End of Discussion, joined The Guy Benson Show today to go on "widow defense" for Erika Kirk amid a wave of vile online conspiracy theories targeting her in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death. Mary Katharine discussed why so many are eager to pile on a strong conservative woman, and why some of the attacks seem rooted in resentment towards a strong, female leader. Mary Katharine also addressed Candace Owens' "evil crusade" amplifying baseless claims about Kirk and his death, and highlighted Erika Kirk's emotional plea on Jesse Watters Primetime for compassion, prayer, and restraint online. MKH and Guy then discussed the ongoing government shutdown and the "idiocy" of grinding the government to a halt over Obamacare subsidies. Listen to the full interview below!
