The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

Kirk is being posthumously celebrated by much of the mainstream press as a noble sparring partner for center-left politicians and pundits. Meanwhile, the very real, very negative, and sometimes violent impacts of his rhetoric and his political projects are being glossed over or ignored entirely.

    I have a feeling this isn’t the only exchange where reading comprehension has left you questioning what you just read…

    You may be better off not trying to read into what someone might mean. And focus on what they actually said.

    For example:

    Turning Point USA CEO and co-founder Charlie Kirk said of gun deaths on April 5, 2023, “I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

    If Charlie Kirk could answer, he’d say this is just something we have to accept and not dwell on…

    You can still ask him if you want, he just can’t answer.

    And according to his personally held opinions, no one should be concerned that he can’t answer.
