He also attacked civil rights leaders and the laws that reshaped the nation. “Clarence Thomas was a far better black role model to celebrate than Martin Luther King. Period. End of story. This guy is not worthy of a national holiday,” Kirk said.

At Turning Point USA’s America Fest in 2023, he went further: “MLK was awful. … We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

You know who conveniently doesn't remember Kirk's racism?

All these dipshit liberal grifter TikTok and YouTube creators who were literally sobbing like babies and virtue signalling faux moral superiority for it yesterday.

Nearly all of them were privileged yt folk who never had even close to a similar reaction to the countless minorities and women the right have slaughtered in the last 20 years.

Sobbing liberals? What are you on about?

It was brought to my attention by a friend that creators who pretend to be leftists were dropping the mask and going full liberal and sobbing over Kirk's death, while also virtue signalling as morally superior for not celebrating his death.

Notably some popular ones on TikTok such as GoodTrouble, Parker, Dean, etc.

Like, I'm not saying they should be celebrating it, but ffs actually crying over this dude who advocated regularly for the slaughter of the audiences they allegedly advocate for was fucking ridiculous. Absolutely insulting to those who have and are suffering under the fascist reign of the party and tyrant Kirk promoted for most of his career.

Best to dm it; there already too many agitators who use it as fodder.
