Tucker Carlson pushes back on the idea that Charlie Kirk was a closet hawk and his wife Erika the real war supporter.

• Charlie Kirk was strongly anti-neocon, against the foreign-policy hawks who favor U.S. wars abroad.
• Erika Kirk has taken heavy public criticism, and Tucker says he likes her and feels sorry for her.
• He rejects the claim that the couple were split on this, with Charlie against the hawks and Erika secretly for them.
• The defense of Erika is framed as risky to say publicly, given how much heat she is getting.

Outlook: Expect the fight over Charlie Kirk's legacy and where his movement stands on foreign wars to keep running.
