JD Vance ~ Assassin?
Did Erica Kirk just have a major Freudian slip?
During a recent speech, Erica Kirk made an unusual wording choice while speaking about her husband.
Just prior to the remark, her iPad shut off due to a dead battery, leaving her without prepared remarks. She then continued speaking from memory rather than reading from a script.
Shortly after, she said:
“Once my husband was assassinated…”
In standard English usage, “once” is typically used to indicate sequence or anticipation… something expected to occur before the next event happens.
Examples of common anticipation-based usage:
- “Once you finish dinner, you can have dessert.”
- “Once the meeting ends, we’ll talk.”
- “Once the paperwork is approved, the process moves forward.”
- “Once he arrives, we’ll begin.”
By contrast, unexpected or traumatic events are normally described using “when” or “after.”
Examples:
- “When my house burned down…”
- “After my loved one passed away…”
- “When the accident happened…”
