I’ve never been a fan of Charlie Kirk and his TPUSA. However it’s horrible that he was assassinated yesterday. I find it ironic that he said this in 2023:
“in 2023 Kirk said (uk.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-c...) that it was “worth it” to have gun deaths every year to preserve the Second Amendment
“in 2023 Kirk said (uk.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-c...) that it was “worth it” to have gun deaths every year to preserve the Second Amendment
Fact Check: Charlie Kirk once said some gun deaths 'worth it' in order to have Second Amendment
The Turning Point USA CEO and co-founder made the remarks while answering a question during a TPUSA Faith event in April 2023.
