This is quite possibly the most sanitized, white-washed hagiography of Charlie Kirk.
You can and should condemn his murder AND accurately describe his life devoted to hate, division and bigotry. It's all there. He didn't hide it.

Charlie Kirk, fiery voice in conservative politics, killed at 31
Charlie Kirk, 31, built one of the most influential organizations on the right, turning viral debate moments into fuel for Turning Point’s rapid growth.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.
If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

I abhor guns and the violence they foment. No one deserves to be killed for speaking their opinion, however flawed and ignorant and hateful as I may think it. That being said, in the name of not speaking ill of the dead, I will let Mr. Kirk speak for himself…

As we look toward the start of a new school year here in Virginia, it’s important to remind ourselves that @glennyoungkin.bsky.social and Linda McMahon are truth-denying clowns with no business interfering in the education of American students.

@glennyoungkin.bsky.social is a pretender to the crown who is an embarrassment to the commonwealth of Virginia. He has presidential ambitions. Don’t feed them. Send him home and lock the door.

Wise words from @da7e.bsky.social one of the hosts of my favorite pods, @fitwr.bsky.social. Love building parasocial relationships with like minded folx!
Great day to remind yourself that Executive Orders are not laws and that disobeying them is great, actually.
Also a great day to sign off and rejoin the news once they hit the courts if you cannot do anything right now.
ALWAYS A GREAT TIME TO DRINK MORE WATER.
