Erika Kirk Forgives Killer, Trump Attorney Indicts Comey: Episode 26

This week on Washed Up: Erika #Kirk remarkably forgave her husband Charlie Kirk's killer, during Kirk's memorial service in Arizona, on Sept. 21. Not to be outdone, President #Trump quipped at the memorial about hating his opponents, which drew media ire and headlines. Although Trump clearly indicated he was joking, Trump was decidedly not joking about indicting James #Comey, the former FBI director. Trump had called on Truth Social for the US Attorney General Pam Bondi and newly appointed interim US attorney for the Eastern district of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, to pursue criminal charges against Comey, who was then indicted by a grand jury on Sept. 25 for allegedly making false statements to congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding—charges which Comey denies. Colin and Abby also discussed Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension and then reinstatement on ABC, and why it's not just a blip on the radar, but possibly a #FirstAmendment issue, demonstrative of government "jawboning."
