- She sees the organization's focus on messaging over genuine grieving as evidence of institutional manipulation.
Content Shapes Public Grief Reaction
- Candace contrasts Erica Kirk's memorial speech with Vanessa Bryant's to argue content and tone mattered to public reaction.
- She notes Erica emphasized Turning Point USA and organizational calls-to-action rather than personal eulogy.
Targeted Donor At Memorial
