CMV: Charlie Kirk will be a million times more effectual in death, as a martyr for the right, than he could have ever been in life. Or is that the lib in me talking?

[–] tricerotops@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

do normal people even know who charlie kirk is. i always assumed it was pretty much just young conservative weirdos and overly online liberals and leftists who knew him.

I for one congratulate Mr. Kirk on his successful neckussy surgery

Anybody have a good compilation of the most heinous and vile shit Charlie ever said? I asked about Palestine earlier but really just the worst clips you have of him, regardless of topic.

Pretty decent rundown from wikipedia:

  • Spread constant disinfo about COVID, vaccines, masks, and alternative medicine
  • Accused the West Point military academy of unfairly admitting a minority woman instead of him
  • Falsely claimed Trump won the 2020 election. TPUSA took part in the attempted coup (lol) on Jan. 6th 2021
  • Railed against MLK, the Civil Rights movement, and the 1964 Civil Rights act, accusing it of usurping the US constitution
  • Advocated for the integration of church and state, stated that the entire US population must be Christian
  • Enthusiastically spread baseless smears and hoaxes, including that Black pilots were unqualified and a cause of plane crashes
  • ...and denied that George Floyd was killed by Derek Chauvin, apparently he was talking about this today before getting killed

Not too much about foreign policy, although just a couple days ago he said he was "thrilled finally that we're using military force in our own hemisphere". He was active on Twitter and podcasting so I'm sure there's a lot more garbage that could be dug up. He was of course blaming mass shootings on transgender people at the very moment he was shot.
