    And I feel like youre not getting the point Im making. Im not saying Charlie Kirk was a great guy. He wasnt. What am I saying is that you can hate the man for who he was, without making shit up about him. Im not cherry picking these. These are the ones that I saw the most often pushed. Thats why they are the ones Im addressing.

    Again, Im not saying he was a good guy. Im saying hate him for who he was, not for what social media grifters told you he was.

      I disagree with your characterization of Kirk as just being a “right-wing populist” and denying that he held views that were deeply racist, antisemitic, sexist, homophobic and transphobic. He was a white supremacist and a Christian Nationalist. Lets not beat around the bush. From an outside perspective it appears that you’re trying to minimize that or even outright deny that it’s true.
