    These guys think they can talk all day about how they are going to make other’s lives worse, often those with lesser means, and they think they should enjoy safety themselves at all times. This while caring so little for others who are victims of gun violence, offering up weak thoughts and prayers and no action. Well, today he got to live the life he always wanted, he just wanted it for others.

      He was literally in the middle of defending his stance on why trans people are bad, and dodging questions on gun violence, when this happened. Bizarre.

        I was curious what the topic of his speech was but I didn’t want to watch the video. What was he talking about?

          An audience member asked how many trans people have carried out mass shootings over the past 10 years.

          Charlie says “Way too many”.

          The audience member responds, only five.

          Then the audience member asks, “And do you know how many mass shootings there have been in America in the last ten years?”

          “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk asked back.

          BANG

            Confronted with statistics that don’t fit my narrative. Better pivot to the “black people are violent” defense.

            Literally the last thought in this racist piece of shits head. Glorious.

          I certainly didn’t watch anything so ghoulish, but the transcript in reporting was him midway through a Q&A section with someone challenging his stance on the recent trans school shooting, and making implications about him taking a hardline stance on that whilst taking no stance on others. His answer to “how many school shootings in the last 10 years have involved a trans person?” was “too many”… the most eye rollingly evasive answer possible.

          Gun violence, funnily enough. He had just finished the quintessential conservative “black and trans people cause most mass shootings” argument.

      Look at some of the bastards talking about him. I’m sure inside they’re fucking scared, trying to guess how much they’ll have to spend for security and start having coffee with Erik Prince or some thuggery.

        “America has lost one of its greatest champions,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller wrote on X. “All of us must now dedicate ourselves to defeating the evil that stole Charlie from this world.”

        Laura Loomer, a MAGA loyalist who has Trump’s ear, called for “cracking down on the Left with the full force of the government. Every single Left wing group that funds violent protests needs to be shut down and prosecuted. No mercy.”

        Elon Musk, the X platform’s billionaire owner, was even more blunt. “The Left is the party of murder,” he wrote.

        Jesus fucking Christ, these people are capable massive cognitive dissonance. It’s not surprising as it’s right out of the fascist playbook.

          Yet they completely ignore that a guy went around killing & attempting to kill Democrats just the other month at their homes.
