Funny thing: when there's a mass shooting, you right-wingers blame a mentally ill lone gunman. But in this case, you're blaming ALL democrats. Doesn't that level of hypocrisy give you whiplash??
As for Charlie Kirk, he sacrificed his life for lax gun laws.
Further irony: Kirk rejects any empathy for or from his supporters.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that – it does a lot of damage."

@ElwoodBlues Cherry-pick much?

@sunsporter1649 OK, here are the Kirk quotes in context, along with some others.
And Charlie Kirk did NOT want your empathy!
Kirk opposed the Civil Rights Act: "I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I've thought about it," Kirk said. "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s," he said at a December 2023 political conference hosted by his Turning Points USA group.
In a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson, Kirk also reportedly compared pandemic vaccine requirements to apartheid. In a February 2024 Instagram post, he also talked about the "great replacement" -- a widely debunked conspiracy theory-- suggesting undocumented immigrants entering the United States to replace white Americans.
Overt racism: "I'm sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified,'" Kirk said during a 2024 podcast episode with fellow rightwing activist Jack Posobeic.
"I think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe."
