I keep finding clips of him on twitter and the man was absolutely vile; I never watched his stuff before, watching it now I see he really was a hateful piece of trash.

I'm not shedding a tear over someone taking out the trash.

His whole debate schtick was fake. All of media is saying that he encouraged discussion or welcomed people to politics, none of which is true. Charlie manufactured scenarios where he could bully unprepared people to promote far right propaganda.

He sits in a booth with a microphone to present himself as the expert, giving him advantage in the conversation. He chooses unprepared college students from campus who are between classes. Then if someone proves that he's wrong, he just won't upload the video. There was no real debates.

"Media bias" has been a marketing strategy for Fox news for a while now, but it is especially grating to see all the hogs whinging about how he was a victim of unfair reporting in light of his own tactics.

The weirdest part is how the majority of people look at his debates, watch the whole thing, and conclude Kirk won.

Like, literally the second last thing he said was “too many” in response to how many trans mass shooters there were? How is that an acceptable response in a scholarly debate?
