Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

I agree, and also think it is a legitimate question as to whether educational institutions should be renting greedy bigots like this a venue where the bigot presents as a teacher. It's possible and even laudable for colleges to create spaces for uncensored exchanges between students, or even to>

2>invite celebrity bigots to be publicly challenged by faculty and students. Gets very problematic if tax dollars are being used, or withheld to punish political speech. But boards of trustees are failing if they are hosting Charlie Kirks who smear and defame some of their students and staff.

I guarentee none of you have actually spent more than 30 secs watching his clips that were edited to piss off liberals. If you actually sat down and tried to understand what he was trying to say you would understand his true beliefs. per usual the true hate always comes from people like you.

Unfortunately, there are way too many people who have no idea just how vile Charlie Kirk was. All they really saw (without listening) was someone who "peacefully" went around to have an "open discussion" on college campuses. They don't see or understand just how insidious he was.

After much research, it has also been determined that Charlie Kirk hated all women, transgender individuals, people with disabilities, Palestinians, Jewish, Arab people and he really really hated black woman

I won't remember him at all. I never thought about him when he was alive. For me, he'll go sit with Limbaugh in the world of, oh yeah, that dude. I totally forgot about him. I don't like he was murdered for his (despicable) views, but he fostered the violence that ultimately killed him.

And the Trump regime will always be remembered for how they honored people for their hatred of blacks, Latinos, gays, transgenders, Muslims and anybody else basically who’s not a white Christian.

He called Michelle Obama and Ketinji-Brown DEI hires. Theses successful black women had multiple degrees. Charlie went and dropped out of a community college. Who’s the DEI hire????? Got what he earned…a seat next to the Devil.

Here’s an even worse thought: What if he didn’t really hate these people… What if he learned early that talk got him friends… What if it brought attention… Then money and fame… What if he was gaming the young people and living high off them… What if we are all mourning and praising a con man…

His brand, And they wonder why evangelicals are stereotyped as science-denying, antiwoke, disingenuous morons devoid of morality in the same way as DeYoung, Falwell and the MAGA-loving bigots. This specific religion is evil to the core and has produced almost nothing but bad fruit

I'd not seen him till today when I went to his YouTube to see. He was smug, bigoted, and didn't argue in good faith, or do politics the "right way". Thirteen years spouting talking points addled his brain. American democracy has a major problem with truth. I hope y'all sort it. No honours for grift.

I’m pretty sure that they give the same training and tests and everyone must go through the same process in order to certify pilots. If I see a pilot, I’m going to assume they are qualified. This may change with a Trump appointee now being ahead of the FAA though.

I never followed Kirk nor knew very much about him, but my eyes are wide open now. 😳 Words to describe him: Despicable Mean Ignorant Racist Hateful Disgusting Divisive Arrogant Lying Self promoting Yuck

For much of MAGAverse, his death is a means to an end. Opportunity to stoke & provoke, drive clicks & views. In the end, monetization is the primary motivation. To elevate him to mythical status helps feed their narrative to hate anything or anyone not MAGA and Kirk proved it's lucrative business.

An actual former Yankee player Brian Dayett died the same day. No moment of silence! Kirk had no connection to the Yankes or the city of New York. Does anyone think if Rachel Maddow were shot, the Yankees would’ve responded the same way? Yankee President Randy Levine always was a douche.

Nothing but hate and garbage. The problem is that it wasn't just him. People paid to see him and celebrated his racist ideas. We're still stuck with them. We're going through a time where we're listening and watching and figuring out how people feel about us.

I’m still shocked by the rise of overt racism in this country since Trump. As a child of the 60s, I believed we had made great strides and that the pockets of racism were being drowned out by reasonable people, but I am forced to face my own naiveté. I’m sad and I’m sorry to say that I see it now.

Yes, same, going to school in the 60’s & 70’s I thought racism was a thing of the past. Things were getting better and racism would only be in our history.

And in my life to date, I have run into very few overt racists. Naive, as I said. But I don’t doubt the existence of systemic racism because I see the results of it in society. Now vocal racists have come out of the woodwork. It’s disgusting.

The paid LIAR, Charlie Kirk spewed vile, hurtful and hateful rhetoric. He was part of the "DC soap opera" that protects the oligarchy by dividing the country and distracting people from important efforts like getting money out of politics/demanding election integrity and stronger ethics rules.

What was going on with Nixon and the plumbers is nothing compared to what they're trying to do today. Check out the book/movie Seven Days in May. Also, if you can, watch West Wing. It's on HBO. Twenty five years later, and it is crazy relevant, but not always the way you'd expect. We're binging it.

Exactly. I never listened to kirk. That prove me wrong stance was all I needed to know about how that douche didn't believe that he could possibly be full of shit. Which he was. If shit were brains, he didn't have enough to make a stink.

I don't see a hero... I just see a man "using" his free speech rights to make big bucks off of the outrage it creates. And apparently, it wasn't outrageous enough for some.

Also, as his wife continued to grift... she may be taking over his grift. ( millions from the 2 crowdfunding sites thus far and Charlie made millions from being a POS.

Canada ROCKS@mapleleafrocks.bsky.social

She's also a hateful grifter and another fake "christian" and likely plans to take over the spot... so, UNLIKELY! Besides Charlie's 12m that we know if she made 6m on the GFM she started. She raised the 6m, so ended it... I wonder how many other funds she had/has?

The hypocrisy is astounding. Only when it hit home to DJT/his people are they mourning. While someone should not be shot for freedom of speech, Kirk spewed a lot of hate. He's getting all the attention. But the recently shot legislators, & children i prayer before school haven't gotten respect

Donald Trump's first term and subsequent platform(s) and actions after that convinced Charlie Kirk that he was safe to say whatever the fuck he wanted because the majority of the time it aligned with the same divisive shit coming from trump. Looks like somebody got tired of hearing that shit. 👀

I believe he was sacrificed as a symbol to unify the maga base and distract from the stripping of rights by ice, the supreme court and congress…and of course the obvious pedo issue. Seems very Putin like…they moved on from eargate. I am disgusted by the treatment he is getting. Oh never mind…

Now, I know why I never liked him. When u hear folks talk like that, they lose all creditability. he was just pushing his negative point of view & sadly to say, folks followed him.

He was a goddamn college dropout who built an empire on fomenting rage and division, not some intellectual titan. There’s a reason his entire schtick was predicated on “debating” children for engagement.

His philosophies weren’t particularly deep either. Just tropes and outrage. Conservatives used to pretend to have intellectuals. William F. Buckley and George Will used big words. Now they distain intellectuals. But hey, he was racist and could speak loudly over an opponent, so that equals hero!

I’m aware. Point is both are examples of Republican “intellectuals” leading their discourse then vs. the dumbed down podcast people today who get very wealthy stoking outrage and fear and appealing to the worst in people. Buckley being dead is quite irrelevant.

I am in some demographics targeted by Kirk. Sports are a replacement for religion, flags would have been at half staff for 9/11 anyway, and the medal of freedom has been a joke for years. That said, yeah, it does feel like a gut punch. I thought I was numb to the horror, but I guess not.

what an terrible evil edit. Kirk claiming that the black community lacks acountability and doesnt have family values or morals is true for the majority of the community. Its not true for all of them but the problem is there is no internal accountability to stop their own from destroying their own.

matthew 12:35-37 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal.

He was such a scumbag. Full stop. He didn't deserve to be shot but doesn't deserve to be memorialized as he is. He was a divisive, racist, misogynistic, hateful, homophobic "influencer". Nothing more nothing less.

I would show due reverence and respect if personal evil befalls you or yours. I don’t care if we disagree on anything or everything and most importantly I don’t care if you’re upset that I care about you.

Another bunch of School Children get shot... American White Supremacists are "That's not the important issue here". Chuck the Race Bater takes a bullet. Wet Panties all along the Big Brave Boys bench and #UncleWooWoo gets even more moist than normal.

Wait til you hear about the gays...I condemn violence in all its ugly forms, but we don't need to martyr a man who stoked violence through his controversial rhetoric.

This is a horrific compilation to watch. Part way in I was like, I can't take this. I made myself finish it. And right before our eyes were witnessing the people in charge rewrite history in their own fucking way to validate this hateful bullshit. Flying flags 1/2 mast, posthumous medals, ETC.

Let's be honest America: this man was a walking, talking piece of hate-filled shit dissing anyone who didn't think or look like him. He used the 1st Amendment to do nothing but attack other people. He has a right to his opinions & he did not deserve to be killed for them, but he shouldn't be honored

America is a racist and bigoted country. Charlie Kirk was a metastasized cancer of America, a product of its disease, just as Trump is. Trump and MAGA’s depict a racist, misogynist, homophobe, Islamophobe, and white supremacist who promoted “great replacement” conspiracy theory as a saint.

That is just so, so sick. An “influencer,” a privileged white clown spewing opinions about things he neither lived through nor understands, all for the “schtick” value, lapped up by ignoramuses.

Apparently Charlie Kirk said this: I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. – 5 April 2023 Done deal…

CNN was praising Vance for being “brave” by going to Utah while the shooter is still at large. He flew there on AF2. He got off AF2. He carried the casket. He got back on AF2. He has the best security detail in the country, second only to POTUS. So brave.

Pardon the pun, but it is disgusting how his character is being whitewashed now. He was not popular in spite of this hate and racism, but because of it. He and Trump voice the hate in the hearts of so many Americans. They know it is wrong, but feel it so wish they could say it too.

Charlie Kirk was a hate monger, trafficking in bigotry & divisiveness. The right-wing has shamelessly turned that into a cottage industry. What is even more chilling now is the castigation for stating that fact. While I condemn his murder I am extremely offended that he is being exalted.

Right? Sure seems suspect that Kirk was challenging Trump about the Epstein files, Kirk’s gen z fans’ support of Trump was slipping, and poof a martyr is created…no more focus on the files while reeling those Kirk gen zers right back cozy up to Trump. Sure seems suspect.

You don't celebrate arseholes. I hate gun violence and certainly feel for his family, but you don't promote ideological fanatics as heroes. He isn't a hero for free speech. He was an apologist for hate speech.

On top of all of that, they want to let him lie in state... If that happens, fuck it...lets fucking see this civil war kick off then. I rather fucking fight than let them do this bullshit for some prick who was a hateful bigot in life. Im done with the civility if they are done with being subtle

This guy was a total dick, but should not have been murdered. Nobody should be murdered. Where is the outrage for the Minnesota legislators and victims of school shootings. Fuck ICE, hire and FULLY train law enforcement.

Agreed. I truly feel sorry for his kids. But I also have hope for them, since they are no longer being raised by this toxic asshole. Hopefully his wife can find someone less deranged to help her raise them.
