It's Morning in America Again
He was not violent or rude, he was peaceful and respectful. He would debate peacefully and with logic. He even got Gavin Newsome to admit men should not be playing womens' sports.
It is getting truly nauseating the way MAGA is treating this incident as if some important world leader was assassinated...

They're also blaming "the left" and talking about going to war over it. And this is before we know shit about the killer. Fucking trumptard fucks.....as opposed to some obnoxious, trump groveling bigot who got rich pedaling hate and xenophobia.
I'd never celebrate a person's death, especially as the result of murder, but this guy was nothing but a self-serving hot air bag.
Just another gun death in trump's 'Murica.
They happen countless times per day because of the right's devotion to guns.
Shut the fuck up about him already.
He was a huge trump booster, and trump had him on speed-dial. trump actually convinced Kirk to back off his push to get the Epstein files released after trump started trying to cover it up.
Yes, I did not know who he was until he was killed.
No one is celebrating the murder. If anything, it makes the guy a martyr and gives you trumpards an excuse to start shooting Democrats.
One thing about you is you're always saying stupid shit. Knock it off.

The rhetoric from MAGA the past 2 days is so over the top, and completely disgraceful.
Their loudest voices on Fox & on podcasts should be deeply ashamed for how they are using this to stoke hate & division.

Noballs - this is on the level of the MLK assassination. You leftists don't grasp what you've unleashed.
Your party thought that when they killed King it would end the civil rights movement - the opposite happened.
Your party thinks that killing Kirk will end the revival of compassion and traditional values in America - it will do the opposite. You've created a martyr.
The assassination attempt in Butler is likely the reason Trump was elected.
Democrats assassinating Kirk amplifies his voice.
Kirk's cowardly assassin thought the same about Kirk. Should we consider that a red flag on you.

Really? He did NOT deserve to be killed for exercising his right to free speech. Everyone should know though, that crazies will come out of the woodwork when someone with an extremist agenda gets a national platform and uses it to sow hate and division.
"[Kirk] started Professor Watchlist and School Board Watchlist, which sought to fire or silence professors and educators through targeted harassment campaigns for sharing opinions opposed by Turning Point.
Kirk promoted far-right and Trump-aligned causes. He espoused a variety of controversial views, especially regarding his opposition to gun control, abortion and LGBTQ rights; his criticism of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr.; and his promotion of Christian nationalism, COVID-19 misinformation, the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and false claims of electoral fraud in 2020.
He started The Mount Vernon Project, an initiative by Turning Point Action to remove members from the Republican National Committee who were not "grassroot conservatives".
Kirk said the violent acts at the Capitol were not an insurrection and did not represent mainstream Trump supporters.
In a 2022 episode of his podcast, Kirk called for a "patriot" to bail out of jail the man who broke into Nancy Pelosi's house and attacked her husband with a hammer.
His rhetoric was described as divisive, racist, xenophobic, and extreme by groups that studied hate speech
According to Forbes, Kirk was known for "his repudiation of liberal college education and embrace of pro-Trump conspiracy theories". Kirk promoted the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory and described universities as "islands of totalitarianism"
In July 2018, Kirk falsely claimed on social media that Justice Department statistics showed an increase in human trafficking arrests from 1,952 in the year 2016 to 6,087 in the first half of 2018. He deleted the tweet without an explanation the next day, after a fact-checker had pointed out that the false 2018 number had originated on the conspiracy site 8chan.
Kirk spread falsehoods about voter fraud, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. In defending the Trump administration's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kirk falsely stated that, during the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, it "took President Barack Obama 'millions infected and over 1,000 deaths'" to declare a public health emergency. In fact, when the Obama administration acknowledged the WHO's declaration of a public health emergency on April 26, 2009, there were less than 280 cases of H1N1 infection reported in the U.S.
Immediately after Donald Trump lost the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Kirk promoted false and disproven claims of fraud in the election.
On the Minnesota leg of the tour on October 5, 2021, Kirk called George Floyd a "scumbag". Kirk promoted several debunked claims about Floyd, such as that he was "illegally counterfeiting currency", and had once "put a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach." On Facebook, YouTube and Rumble, Kirk repeatedly promoted the false claim that the medical examiner who performed the autopsy declared Floyd had died of an overdose. Following a fact check by AFP that noted the doctor stood by the classification of Floyd's death as a homicide, corrections were added to Kirk's posts on social media.
Kirk described the public health measure of social distancing prohibitions in churches as a "Democratic plot against Christianity" and made the unfounded assertion that authorities in Wuhan, China, were burning patients."

If you have teenagers I bet they know who he is
So the shooter's friends shouldn't have sought an intervention for him?
