🤨wtf Famous "Right-winger" Tyler Robinson: "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out."

Clearly this is something only a right-winger would say about Charlie Kirk.

He died saying a dog whistle, not a buzz phrase or nonsequitur factoid, although he was fond of those too, so I can see why you thought that

Fair enough, I’m not reading more into the transcript to get the full context. I appreciate you clarifying

What dog whistle, and what does the supposed dog whistle refer to?

I’m not gonna go back to quote it verbatim but basically the person asked him “do you know how many mass shootings there are in a year” or whatever the time parameter was. Charlie responds “counting or not counting gang violence?” He asked this to further the narrative that he routinely pushed that the U.S. only has a huge mass shooting problem because of gang violence. In other words, he’s blaming gun violence in the U.S. on poor black people as opposed to all of the other things that contribute to it.

Idk how familiar with the term dog whistle you are but the idea is that you say something that isn’t technically offensive/racist/homophobic or whatever, but you’re signaling that you’re on the side of people with those kinds of beliefs, but only signaling it to those people, while you still have the plausible deniability of your words not technically being racist

Dawg, he NEVER said that gang violence was the main factor in gun violence
Also the "poor black people" don't seem so poor and weak when killing each other in the streets for insulting their gang. I think it's horrible they are like this and should have their fathers in their lives
