A bigot and racist to his last breath.

We shouldn't speak falsehoods about the dead.

So I'm not.

The most piercing judgments of Charlie Kirk I see today are the ones that simply quote his words for all to hear. What a legacy he earned.

Charlie Kirk woke up every day and made a conscious decision to be the Charlie Kirk we all saw. That’s the meanest thing I can think of to say about pretty much anyone, and it also happens to be completely true.

We can remember what he did, and we can remember who he did it to.

And we all know that’s true, because that’s all he did. Ultimately, that’s all he was, because he never bothered to be anything else.

And now he’s gone, so let’s do him the honor of remembering him with accuracy.

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.
