I’m the most bleeding heart of liberals, but I just cringed when Michel Martin tried to insinuate that Kirk was responsible for his own brutal muder. Schlapp was a close personal friend. Still processing grief. Being entirely gracious. Imagine Martin insinuating MN Dems own rhetoric instigated.

Cringe #2. Inskeep interviewing another close personal friend of Kirk & unable to resist urge to imply that Kirk incited his own murder through promoting cultural conservatism - less than 24 hours from the killing. Imagine conservative media similarly goading friends of the murdered MN legislators.

Matt Schlapp’s angry reaction to the determined attempt by Michel Martin to inject bald faced whataboutism in the midst of his gracious and thoughtful comments regarding the murder of his good friend was entirely understandable. Martin’s hamhandeness was cringeworthy.
