“We Will Do It In Charlie’s Name”

"Kirk’s legacy, we are to believe, was one of nonviolence and respect for the first amendment. He taught us, supposedly, how to argue fiercely but civilly and in good faith. But the Charlie Kirk that Klein and Jenkins and company have invented is not...the real Charlie Kirk."

"TPUSA also bussed people to the Jan. 6 insurrection, and Kirk was a major proponent of 'Stop the Steal' conspiracy theories.

Among many other horrific statements, Kirk said that stoning LGBT people to death is part of 'God’s perfect law,' and that gun deaths are 'worth it.'"

"From Donald Trump on down, those on the right have not honored Kirk by calling for civility and peaceful debate.

They have rushed to use Kirk’s death as an excuse to silence dissent and to terrorize those they perceive as their enemies."

"Robinson’s family appears to be politically conservative but some who knew Robinson say he had become disenchanted with Trump and Kirk. Messages written on bullet casings at the scene include ironic video game allusions and memes. MAGA, however, is not waiting for the facts."

Others on the right rushed to one up each other in demanding violence against the left despite an utter lack of evidence as to the shooter’s identity or motivation."

"You may believe that some or all of the responses to Kirk’s death were inappropriate/wrong.

But it’s hard to argue that they are more inappropriate/wrong than Trump calling for the beating of people on the left, or than Charlie Kirk calling for the stoning of LGBT people."

"But the right is barely pretending that their current campaign is...even...about Charlie Kirk.

Democratic leaders uniformly condemned the attack on Kirk, but that didn’t stop the right from claiming the left (including Democrats) needed to be punished."

"In contrast, after Kirk’s death, Lee posted that he was an 'American patriot' and insisted that 'the terrorists will not win.'

You could see this as hypocrisy."

"Charlie Kirk targeted professors for harassment and participated in an effort to overthrow the Constitution because he believed that his ideological opponents should have no voice in society or government."

"These people...openly think that some views, and some people, are more equal than others, and that they are entitled to enforce their rule with whatever means they choose, including violence."

"Political violence is ugly, evil, and a threat to democracy; the shooting of Kirk, like the shooting of Melissa Hortmann, harms our republic.

So does the right’s successful effort to use Kirk’s death to silence dissent and terrorize dissenters."
21/End.

"Successful" is going a bit far. Except to the people who’ve been fired for using social media. Or quoting Charlie Kirk.
