This is fascist propaganda 101. Imagine any other time in US history were a person from Radio, TV, or internet personality was murdered. But that person was very divisive and then the administration tried to thrust their view to tie with victims to blame another political side. It's disgusting.

Did Vance have a Freudian slip? "... one side has a much bigger and malignant problem, and that is the truth we must be told," he said. "...the truth we must be told," That to me sounds like you all decided this was the truth you had to spread vs. the actual truth.

Quick reminder that Trump and Stephen Miller's MAGA party violently attacked the nation's capital on January 6, 2021 at the direction of Donald Trump. #charliekirk

What the actual fuck, NPR. Have you not even a sliver of self pride or dignity left? You don’t have to lick the rim anymore. They already took your funding, and you’re not getting it back. Ever. Use what little journalistic integrity you might still have to help grow a spine and some gonads.

Imma fix the post here… The broadcast was a striking reminder of Kirk’s influence, both as a misinformed instigator in the young conservative space and a front-of-the-house political propagandist who helped shape President Trump’s agenda.

No matter my personal feelings about him or what he has espoused on his platform. Or my feelings about the death of rational #GOP politics that is #TurningpointUSA, political violence of any kind is completely wrong. Charlie was an asshat…but he should still be here…alive and annoying as ever.

Everyone giving you shit so I read the article and yeah, you deserve the shit. What in the fuck reporting is this? If Vance says it's raining outside all you did was quote he said that without the confirmation on actual condition. The journalist who wrote this seems ignorant.

VD struggles so hard to look Trump cool. This stunt is like stolen podcaster valor. VD would love to have a following like Kirk’s. Maybe to make himself more palatable to MAGA is to divorce and marry his widow. Nothing is off limits with this administration.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

The posters here will get their wish. Vance and Miller have announced that news outlets like NPR will be eliminated. You’ve all taken the bait and fallen for their shit like the dupes you are. Keep. Your. Eye. On. The. Ball.

Vance categorically lies about the political violence to increase division. Facts show the violence is from Islamists and those on the right. Vance and Miller are knowingly brainwashing people to make them collude with their criminal regime. www.cato.org/blog/politic...

While he is collecting a salary paid for with our tax dollars. This is all the latest distraction to cover Trump’s ass (temporarily) to avoid confronting the Epstein missing and unredacted files and the sneaky vote on the filibuster.

Is this really NPR? Why are you not reporting how the VP threatened half the country in an incredibly inflammatory speech? Where is the fact checking on his wild claims about political violence mainly coming from the left? You are providing state propaganda and not journalism.

The white cultist was influential to young WHITE people who have been brainwashed by the white cultist and the magat movement. If hatred of women, people of color, and the LGBTQIA community is something that NPR approves of, well, we are not friends.

What a joke. They didn't gaf about Kirk beyond the propaganda he pushed for them. Maga leadership are capitalizing on the performative empathy bandwagon not bc they feel sorrow; Vance was on to steer a now-leaderless flock of sheeple that lacks critical thinking to weaponize them.

In an attempt to make anyone like him, Jimmy Hamill has once again put his pick me attitude out into the universe and still no one picks him. Jimmy is so desperate for anybody to pay attention to him. He will do just about anything except abide by the laws of the United States of America.

Oh God, enough of the tributes! Vance wouldn't care one bit if kids were shot at school or in some other difficult situation. He should break out his white robe with the pointy hood.

Who would have thought that putting, reality TV personalities, Fox News hosts , and conservative podcasters in charge of the government would be this bad .

No matter how many threats made to real American people, we won’t back down. They can’t force us into churches, respect a corrupt cruel religion, or respect a man with such a horrendous case of moral turpitude it spreads like a plague. My morality is my shield, his ilk uses it to bear false witness

Vance looked into the camera and lied. "it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left." Care to investigate/correct this, @npr.org We can work through every lie uttered if you think you might have the time.

Truly pathetic that our government is lionizing this racist bigot as if he’s was not a vile human being who preached divisive rhetoric about blacks , Jews , women , Muslims or anyone else that wasn’t a white nationalist.

According to the Right, especially the Christian Right, and the Trump Cult, the First Amendment only applies to them. The Second Amendment is the MOST IMPORTANT Amendment. The rest of the Amendments don't matter, especially anything concerning women, POC, or voting.

Everyone has went insane?! Why are we giving a hero’s send off for a white supremacist podcaster? It makes zero sense. Why aren’t there more stories about how weird this all is? A civilian podcaster, who most people have no idea who they were, get flags at half staff, and carried in AF2, etc.

3 months ago the Speaker of the MN House was assassinated, along with her husband and dog - no special considerations whatsoever. An officer was killed defending the CDC last month, none then either Their death was horrifying but who even is this Charlie person to get this honor bestowed upon them

What’s next - we have National Holiday for Hulk Hogan? We get a new $20 with Rush Limbaughs face on it? Joe Rogan gets the Presidential medal of Freedom? What circle of hell are we in right now where media personalities and influencers are bandied about like heroes?!

More like: "The unconventional broadcast, in which the sitting Vice President hosted a partisan podcast for a former personal friend, was a striking reminder of Kirk's inordinate influence and hold on the current administration despite never having been elected into any public position."
