He literally says "we don't care about" right-wing political violence.
He has to look down at his notes mid-rant, showing this was all performative and premeditated.

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

Preach.
The article reads like a whitewashing of a white supremacist and his legacy of advocating for violence-based policies targeted against every class of human being that wasn’t simultaneously male and caucasian, as if the writer’s aesthetic of politeness would effectively mask their lack of vertebrae.

All these bizarre Kirk civilwashing pieces really are the logical endpoint of a decade where the constant invocation of free speech always seemed to involve wild obfuscations of what the speech actually was.

State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.

The TV networks seem determined to sanitize Charlie Kirk's long record of hate speech. MSNBC guest John Nichols just praised Kirk as "nuanced" and "quite thoughtful," and Katy Tur did a dramatic reading from Ezra Klein's NYT essay headlined "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way."

the only thing that would have saved him is if our administrations actually had reasonable gun control in the aftermath of the last hundred school shootings.
