Celebrating The Life Of Charlie Kirk

It does seem like the best way to do that is to honestly communicate what he spent the last decade of his life doing and saying, to quote the very public statements of this very public figure accurately, and to honor his advocacy by accurately explaining it to people, but instead we're going spend the day focusing on "Charlie Kirk," a fictional construct.

Normal people, who mostly don't know who the guy is, are going to be very confused if they ever discover anything he said about anything, accidentally.  The New York Times and cable news aren't going to tell them.

The best you can say about some  prominent mainstream journalists, at the moment, is that they have no idea what Kirk's views are, because none of them really pay attention to prominent right wingers who aren’t in the green room with them.

They certainly can't hear his critics - the mostly black female college professors who Turning Point has been terrorizing for years, for example.   Those people aren't in the green room  - or the group chat - either.

Choose your favorite: they don't know, they are pretending not to know, or they genuinely know and approve.
