"Charlie Kirk believed that gay people should be stoned to death, that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake," that we should legally be allowed to whip foreigners in the U.S., that Muslims only move here to destroy the country, that American Jews encourage anti-whiteness, that men should physically attack transgender people, that all women should submit to their husbands, and that Black professionals "steal" their jobs from more qualified white people."
"Kirk used his massively influential, billionaire-funded "young conservative organization" Turning Point USA to spread these hateful views on a grand scale to a rising generation of copycat, crypto-fascist, edgelord trolls. And now that he's been publicly slain in a horrific assassination, President Donald Trump has hailed Kirk as a "wonderful American" and a "martyr for truth and freedom." Trump, gay Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D), and others are flying flags at half-mast to commemorate him, and Kirk's podcast bestie Gov. Gavin Newsom is telling people to "honor Charlie's memory" by continuing his work."
"Ummm... if I may be so bold to say: F**k that. I didn't celebrate Kirk's death because I'm anti-murder (even when it happens to a**holes), and I legitimately feel sorry for his now fatherless young children and the numerous traumatized students who witnessed his slaughter. I've also warned friends that the lethal violence that ended Kirk's life is regularly directed at political figures whom we do respect (and who could easily be killed next)."
Charlie Kirk advocated that gay people should be stoned to death; called the 1964 Civil Rights Act "a huge mistake"; argued for legally whipping foreigners; claimed Muslims move here to destroy the country; asserted American Jews encourage anti-whiteness; promoted physical attacks on transgender people; insisted all women should submit to their husbands; and accused Black professionals of "stealing" jobs from more qualified white people. He used his billionaire-funded Turning Point USA to spread these views widely to a rising generation. Kirk was killed by a gunshot to the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University. President Donald Trump and other officials publicly commemorated him as a "martyr" and lowered flags, prompting anger amid sympathy for his children and witnesses.
