    Alex Jones went on his show the day Charlie Kirk died and within 20 minutes of the shots started exploiting the whole story for his own gains, letting the video of the shot hitting Kirk play on loop, in slowmo, “zoom in on that” while plugging his products and rambling about the left. He is a disgusting piece of shit grifter that doesn’t stop exploiting people’s misery, even if it’s one of his own. Kirk wasn’t even pronounced dead before Jones started building a narrative around it. If I were someone from Kirks family or company I would sue the living shit out of Jones for this, it is vile and disgusting even his co-host was a little taken aback by it.

    I really don’t get how people can see what Charlie Kirk has said and celebrate this man’s message. Our country is already fallen to idiocy.

      It’s because to them the only thing that mattered was his in-group status. He was a “great Christian”, not because he followed Jesus, but simply because he identified as such and did it loudly.

      They don’t see what he said. Most of the probably haven’t actually listened to him or even thought about him before this.

      But even if they had listened to him in the past, or looked him up now, the grounding bias of “he’s a good person”/“he’s on our side” has been established. That’s a bias that’s nearly intractable.

    Cry harder you sentient anyerusm. Cry much harder and feel way more unsafe. Then you’ll know what it’s like to be queer and why I couldn’t give a damn about whether you live or die

        Almost as if any of these grifters don’t believe anything they themselves say. I thought it would be more comforting that these people were idiots, but no, its just evil.

    Republicans keep acting like they weren’t the ones starting this trend. They were nasty towards Obama for 8 years. And Trump came in and increased the nastiness towards anybody that said anything against him.

      The guy that shot the Kirk was still one of them, just from a sect that couldn’t stand him.

      If anything, from recent assassinations only Luigi could be connected with the left, but even then it looks more like he did it due to personal experience with UnitedHealth.

    Oh, did he have plans for his future? So does everyone gunned down by senseless violence. Including criminals. Including people of colour. Including school children. Get off your high horse you lying faker, no one cares about you or your guy anymore than you care about the hundreds of school children gunned down every year in your country. I thought this idiot lost his platform? Wasn’t he forced to sell it when he lost that lawsuit about him lying and harassing children?!
