JIM TREACHER:
I regret not paying more attention to him when he was alive. I’m not MAGA, and a lot of MAGA people hate me for criticizing Trump when I think he’s wrong. So, I figured Kirk was akin to those clowns: “You’re owned, cry about it, ****,” etc. Anger, resentment, spite. A thirst for humiliation. Some call it “Trumpism.” I put him in that category, if not the worst offender. Alex Jones Lite.
Now I know it wasn’t Kirk’s approach at all, and I wish it hadn’t taken his assassination for me to learn that.
“I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Voltaire didn’t actually say that, but he should have.
And that’s exactly what Charlie Kirk did. He was murdered at the precise moment he ceded the floor to an opponent. Tyler Robinson could’ve waited his turn to debate Kirk, but instead he cut in line.
Big mistake.
