Then again transphobia wasn't Charlie Kirk's primary grift and I'm not aware of him pushing that lately

He was lying about trans shooters literally the moment he got shot though

Yeah but i doubt the shooter was aware of that. And i think he was going into racist dogwhistles when that bullet from heaven silenced him

It was a big part of his repertoire but I wouldn't single him out as the most rabid or effective transphobe. Unless I'm missing something I don't think he'd stand out compared to Crowder or Jordan Peterson on this specific subject. Walsh and JKR managed to make everyone else look lukewarm and I don't specifically remember Kirk getting mentioned much as an exceptional shithead in trans circles. Could be opportunistic though as one of many who simply happened to be within reach even though he wasn't the most rabid one.

Yeah he wasn't the biggest transphobe, I feel like his main thing was normalizing white supremacy, and transphobia is a tool in the white supremacy toolkit. He did get the "blame trans people for mass shootings" memo though, and was following it dutifully.

It does feel opportunistic to me too, like Matthew Crooks the shooter lived relatively nearby so he probably went for the first ghoul to wander into range. Either way he took the trash out so critical support to g*mers who fire guns at horrible people.

I think you gotta call it an act of God at a certain point.
