'I'm not angry with God': 5 highlights from Erika Kirk's Fox News interview
2. Kirk opposed forcing Kimmel to apologize: 'That's between you and the Lord'
Kirk weighed in on the controversy surrounding late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's suggestion that Kirk's killer, who espoused liberal political views, was part of the "MAGA gang," referring to supporters of President Donald Trump.
Kimmel's assertions that conservatives were "desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them" and that "MAGAland" was "working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk" led to the comedian's brief suspension from his ABC program "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
Watters asked Kirk if she had a "message" for Kimmel, who apologized on air for his remarks after his suspension concluded but faced allegations that his apology was insincere.
Kirk detailed how Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns multiple ABC affiliates across the country, asked her if she wanted an apology or to appear on his show. She recalled how she responded by saying: "You do what you think is best and right, and I prayerfully wish you the best, but I will never ask someone to give me an apology that they don't genuinely mean."
"That's between you and the Lord," she added. "If you want to say I'm sorry to someone who's grieving, go right ahead but if that's not in your heart, don't do it. I don't want it. I don't need it."
