Charlie Kirk's opinion on politically motivated attackers
With the news of Charlie Kirk's passing, many conservatives are asking for sympathy, less violence and praise Charlie as someone who was open to having his ideas challenged and interested in honest debates. This is a throwback to what Charlie Kirk had to say when Pelosi was attacked.

Wait, wait, wait, how do we know that this was politically motivated? Could've been an accident. Maybe they guy was just cleaning his rifle, and it went off. Shit happens.
I believe in the early 00s Utah sued to allow firearms to be openly carried on campuses.
The Utah legislature passed a new law allowing open carry on campus on May 7th of this year, too.
Cool so the guy wasn't breaking the law. Probably was just an accident, then?
He’s comin’ right for us!
😂
wanna bet the NEWS will drop talking about the shooter, once they find out the shooter is a right winger, so charlie will fade into obscurity much like rush did.
You know it genuinely could have been someone from his personal life. Kill him like this and the feds woln't bother looking at the guy who's wife he was screwing or whatever.
Good point. Everyone is assuming Charlie Kirk was only a piece of shit in his professional life. He could have been one recreationally too.
"I didn't know the gun was loaded, I'm so sorry my friend. I didn't know the gun was loaded, and I'll never, ever do it again!"
Didn’t some TV news talking head claim it could have been somebody shooting their gun in celebration and it all being a terrible accident?
I guess we'll never know.
This checks out. There's a whole song about this.
Johnny Cash wouldn't lie to us.
Weird. I thought bad-faith debaters were full of hot air, not blood.
Requires decryption key?
Hmm, interesting that they beg for mercy when they'd have zero sympathy if someone like Pelosi's husband was attacked; in fact, they were loving that shit. I'm not sorry that he died, as he was a total twat. He can Rest in Piss like the other assholes that wanted to warp America into a far crueler nation. It's surprising that it took this long for it to happen, I wonder if this will be the inciting incident that causes a chain reaction. As talking hasn't helped sway the mind of the key people in the Far Right who are making America a worse place...Not that I want that, because it will just be more pointless death. It will make life in America dangerously unstable...Not that it's particularly stable, as it is.
Are you suggesting this may be a TURNING POINT in the USA's history? Interesting...
Curious...
Perhaps, it's merely a guess on my part. My mind is fixated on the possibility...Not that there might be any actual truth to it.
Gotta be an inside job. We red blooded Americans KNOW liberals are feminists, and poison is a woman’s weapon. Not direct, LIKE A MAN
