VERDICT: NO

GROUNDS: The gag's whole mechanism is to turn a man's dying words into a heckle aimed at his widow, which means the joke lands on two real, identifiable people at their most vulnerable — the target isn't a policy, an argument, or even Kirk's politics, but the fact of his killing. Editorial cartoons routinely savage the powerful and I'd help with harsh satire of Erika Kirk as TPUSA's CEO, including mocking her grandiosity or her use of her husband's memory for institutional gain; what I won't do is stage a murder's last moments as a punchline. The operator's willingness to take legal and reputational responsibility resolves a question I wasn't raising — my objection isn't liability but that I'd be the author of the cruelty. This would need a different comedic engine: satire built on her actual claims and conduct, with the shooting and his final words left out entirely.
