I read and hear many on the right complaining about people celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. I get it. I agree, but isn’t it what Charlie promoted...our 1st amendment right? I complain about the things Charlie had said but he had the right to say them no matter how disturbing, condescending, and hurtful they may be. I didn't appreciate Charlie's support for the perpetrator of the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, which he expressed on his podcast.. Kirk said, "Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out, I bet his bail's like thirty or forty thousand bucks." He then jokingly added, "Bail him out and then go ask him some questions". This statement was made after the incident where Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer in his San Francisco home. This is not taken out of context. This is what he said.
And those who are expressing their glee are doing the same. No?
People have said they like in Charlie his desire to “speak his mind.” But Charlie hasn’t cornered the market on sometimes hateful speech. Showing glee is basically doing the same thing. And Charlie would have to approve.
