I simply can’t say it any better than this. It appears that the price for “reconciliation” with people inclined to think like Charlie Kirk is to abandon any objections to speech that questions my value as a human being so that we may find “common ground.” I am unwilling to pay that price.

Everyone attempting to sanitize Charlie Kirk’s image should know just how much you are alienating the very people he routinely targeted and attacked with his racist, bigoted rhetoric. That includes supposedly well meaning liberals and Democrats.

Fine to condemn this kind of violence (I certainly do) and express empathy for a person’s family. But doing so does not also require sanitizing a person’s image and turning someone into a saint to be honored. His views, all in the public record, were objectively sexist, racist, and destructive.
