My husband isn’t saved and said some cruel things about Charlie’s murder. How do I even get through life with someone so evil?

I’m going to give as compassionate answer towards your husband that I can. Look, we all say stupid things in the heat of moments that are exaggerations of what we really believe. We all say things sometimes that we wish we could take back. I don’t know your husband; you know your husband a lot better than I do.

I would first ask you to consider whether maybe this remark was out of character for him, and it doesn’t reflect the normal status of his heart. You would know better than I on that. If that’s the case, then you need to extend generosity of heart toward him, forgive him, and forget about it.

Or maybe you would regretfully say that a statement like that does reflect who he is, or that sometimes he’s even worse. If that’s the case, receive counsel from 1 Peter 3:1-2, and live with your husband, love him, pray for him, and ask God to work some miracle through your godliness towards him. It might be the cause of your husband’s conversion. Don’t feel that it’s your responsibility as a wife to correct him or fix him, but pray for him, love him, and let God do that work.

There have been a number of accusations about things which Charlie supposedly said, and at first, the reaction of people was, I think, a bit of disbelief. Some time has passed now, and people have gone back to look at those quotes that have been attributed to him in their context. You can find material online now that, I think, would disabuse people of the assumption that that Charlie was racist, a transphobe, or a homophobe. Mike Winger did about a 40-minute-long investigation into some of the chief charges. His conclusion was that if you look at these remarks in their context, Charlie Kirk was not merely stating an opinion; it’s actually based in statistics, facts, and research. Once that’s understood, some of these charges being made against him really disappear.

But if a person is only taking the statements of people online who say he was a racist, giving quotes without any context, it’s understandable why they would see him as an evil person for the things that he said. It’s important to look at the context of those statements and find out what they’re based on. You’ll likely come to a completely different conclusion.

There must be thousands of hours of videos of Charlie’s question and answer times where he is speaking off the cuff. If he were to say something untoward, I would put it in the context of his entire life. I’m very suspicious of anybody who’s looking to pull out “gotcha” quotes from off-the-cuff videos, to try to write off a man because of something that could be taken out of context or simply doesn’t reflect who he was in his entirety as a person.
