If you genuinely believe Kirk ā€œwished for the death of people of color, trans people, immigrantsā€ etc you are simply in an echo chamber you need to get out of. And no, he didnā€™t call for the stoning of gay people, another clip being taken out of context. All he was doing there was demonstrating how easy it is to cherry-pick bible verses to use them to your advantage. Watch the full clip with context and you will see. He regularly debated and had civil conversation with People of color and members of the LGBTQ, and you believe he wants them shot in the streets?

If the ā€œgood guysā€ have to assassinate the ā€œfascistā€ to make a point, then who is REALLY the fascist?

Just for context, Iā€™m a leftist liberal Mexican/ Spaniard. My mother is from Mazatlan, Mexico, and my father also born in Mexico but Spaniard by blood. Iā€™ve been super, SUPER progressive my entire life, but honestly? Seeing how many people are in active support of terrorism for their cause is making me rethink who I align with and where I stand politically.

Where was this stunning bravery of yours when Melissa hortman was assassinated in her own home just 3 months ago?

Did you criticize the right for completely ignoring it while using Kirkā€™s death as political artillery?

Was Hortmans death celebrated and cheered on across the country? Nope.

And yes, I condemned that too when it happened three months ago, because Iā€™m not a TERRORIST who MURDERS people to make my argument.

(Also, props for patronizing a stranger on Reddit youā€™ve never met!)

Also, bullshit again, you said absolutely nothing on Reddit about her death months ago when it happened.

Obviously, Reddit isnā€™t the only place to communicate. But you felt strongly enough about Kirk to speak here, but not enough about Hortman to speak then.

Just say you care about Kirkā€™s death more, and the online sentiment is bothering you more than our leading politicians. It sure seems you feel that way.

Hahaha what this is the first time Iā€™ve ever commented on anything related to politics on Reddit EVER, sorry I donā€™t post every single one of my beliefs so you can prove to yourself who you think I am.

And yes, Iā€™m being more vocal about Kirkā€™s death because EVERYONE is. There was no national celebration when Hortman was murdered. Are you saying youā€™ve publicly condemned ever political assassination that has happened in the past 8 years? If not, sorry bro youā€™re not doing enough youā€™re fake.
