From your link:
Ironically—if that word is even possible to use in 2023—he said, “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”
Not sure how that is ironic. Kirk knew the risk of gun death for daring to believe that the right to free speech allowed him to speak freely. How could he not know, given the long-for by the left death that almost happened to Donald Trump. Trump did not call for confiscation of long-range scoped rifles after he was nearly fatally shot. In fact, no one is that I know of, left or right. Owning hunting rifles is the only kind of firearm ownership that many on the left think the 2A protects.
Maybe the worst thing I’ve seen today is Ezra Klein’s smarmy “Charlie Kirk practiced politics exactly the right way” in Thursday’s New York Times. “He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him,” Klein wrote. “He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness.”
How is that the worst thing and smarmy? Because the author of that article knows that showing up for debate is something lefties avoid like a welfare dolee avoiding a job fair. Still shocked that Biden's handlers allowed him to do his final debate, knowing that Democrats always lose a fair debate. Were they counting on "fact-checking" to save him?
Well, one thing missing from that article is the video of Charlie Kirk calling MLK "an awful person." or even the full quote in context.
Conservative from Georgia, please provie it for us. Such a statement would surely have been played over and over again, so that should be easy.
