The Way They Are Treating Charlie Kirk Is Just Disgusting
Is it me or is the death of Charlie Kirk feeling like a modern day Horst Wessel propaganda campaign.
Kirk wasn't employed in Trump's administration, he wasn't a soldier, he wasn't a college graduate, and his rhetoric was creating fake "debates" on college campuses to support his white Christian nationalist agenda and generate clicks.
He was a racist, a bigot, and added nothing to the national conversation except division and calls for violence. Don't forget his group shipped many of the January 6th protestors to DC to steal the election.
He also constantly attacked trans people and sponsored a speaking tour for a woman who tied for 5th place in a swim meet with a trans woman. She was so insecure by the result that she made a career - supported by Kirk - of trashing Trans women anytime she could.
Yet Kirk's body is escorted by the Vice President of the US on Air Force 2 (talk about stolen valor) and there are calls for his body to lie instate in the US Capitol. They also had a prayer service at the fucking Kennedy Center. Yes named for the same Kennedy who was the complete opposite of racist Charlie Kirk.
Trump wants to give Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom - for what??? What did Kirk do? Take a bullet for sure but he was a waste of space and is that is wrong with the MAGA assholes.
Three months ago a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota was gunned down by a Trump supporter and the only response from Trump was basically 'shit happens...'.
Trump's GOP erased the Black Lives Matter mural in DC while Trump's buddy Ron DeSanctimonious in Florida had the rainbow cross walks erased by the Pulse Nightclub memorial. But sure let's give a white moronic racist patriotic honors for upholding the Trump agenda.
It is ironic that a white supremacist would be shot by someone who didn't think he was racist enough in one the whitest part of the country.
Charlie Kirk was a vile human being who built a career on hurting others. He deserved to be hit in the mouth or pied or milkshaked. Instead he has become a martyr to the same people who have stoked the specter of violence in politics. He will be missed by his family but not by me.
