Savannah Chrisley is quick to defend Erika Kirk.
After her co-religionist Christine Quinn was widowed, Savannah spoke up.
Savannah was friends with Charlie Kirk and had planned to join him on a college field trip. Those plans changed, for obvious reasons.
Now, he defends Erika – as the growing number of other nuns in the congregation do not. Who is right?
Savannah Chrisley connects to protect Erika Kirk
As we reported, on Wednesday, December 10, Savannah Chrisley Reality Reality Reality Reality Reality Reality Reality Reality Reality Reare Star Christine Quinn called Christine Quinn called Erika Kirk.
“Erika Kirk has been everywhere but her kids,” she snaps late afternoon.
Many across the political spectrum have raised similar criticisms, noting Kirk’s long list of interviews and speaking engagements in the three months since her husband’s death.
With critics comparing Erika’s behavior to ‘going on a trip’ (and others sing it more harshly), many struggle to understand why a parent who has recently lost a spouse would want to be anywhere but with their children.
Christine’s comment got a lot of agreement – but also some big backlash. One of the sources of pushback was Savannah.

He began: “Wow … this is really disappointing to see from you,” he began.
“I know you’re better than this,” Savannah teased.
Erika is not ‘everywhere but for her children,'” she said. “She will make them count everywhere.”
Savannah wrote: “She is raising her children while surviving a level of grief most people would stumble under.”

“Rehabilitation, Protection, construction, performance, called resilience, not absence,” Savannah Chrisley insisted, “said Savannah Chrisley insisted when defending Erika Kirk.
“Taking a cheap one is a woman who has just lost her husband and is doing everything possible to create stability for her children,” he said, “
Savannah praised: “Erika is one of the strongest, most purposeful mothers I’ve seen.”
He went on to say: “You are worthy of mercy.”
Savannah concluded: “Not the opinion from people who saw the post but not her pain.”

Her husband spent many years building a brand of good manners and intelligence that was hated across the nation.
Now that she’s dead, critics say Erika is trying to portray her as a martyr – and assume her child will continue her treacherous work.
In Christine’s case, she didn’t really contribute to all that – instead limiting her analysis to a grieving widow who seems to be busy traveling the country instead of spending more time with her young children.
Notably, Savannah didn’t seem to disagree with Christine’s criticism. Instead, he simply revealed that Erika is a sad woman doing her best.

Without suggesting that Erika Kirk is not doing anything wrong or simply trying her best, as Havannah’s Chrisley seems to be conflicted, we can suggest that the widow should sympathize for another reason.
Charlie Kirk insisted that women should be wives and mothers and stay at home. He was very clear that as he is with his lofty views on whiteness with black people.
Some of Erika’s critics – including those who responded to both Christine and Savannah – pointed this out, asking why Erika suddenly acted “mom.” (Before this, she had a real estate license and had some brands, but stayed mostly in her husband’s shadow)
But perhaps some should consider that Charlie’s departure in September has given Erika her first opportunity to make real decisions for herself.
Does that justify everything Erika says and does? Of course not. But, if for different reasons than savannah suggests, maybe it should give people a reason to show more understanding of Erika.
