Charlie Kirk

For the record, I'm a conservative and christian but if I were American I'd never be a Trump supporter. This recent posting on Youtube says it all for me. Good one to watch

The guy says at the beginning

"... been pretty vocal in my opposition to some of the rhetoric that I've seen come out of Donald tRump and others"

"... really not all that familiar with Charlie Kirk, most of what I know aboutt Charlie Kirk I've learned in the last couple of hours"

So maybe he's unaware of how OK Charlie Kirk was with gun violence. Just to be clear, I don't condone violence and I deplore this killing. But Charlie Kirk apparently found extra gun deaths to be acceptable:

"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."

And Charlie Kirk did NOT want your empathy!

"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."

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.

@ElwoodBlues Thanks for atleast taking the time to get informed. Our shared point is still that it's not alright to murder any political opponent
