If Kirk’s movement wanted young people to think for themselves, it wouldn’t be hunting educators. It would be debating them.

Wild to see Kirk remembered as a “civil debater” when his record is littered with slurs, lies, and calls for violence. Coates is right if we ignore his own words, we’re just rehearsing the same historical amnesia that once sanitized Confederates.

We can condemn Kirk’s murder and still critique his politics. Saying criticism is what killed him is disingenuous it confuses speech with violence and scapegoats millions of people who had nothing to do with it.

Someone pulled the trigger not “all liberals.” Turning a tragedy into proof of some culture war is dishonest and dangerous. Violence is wrong, but so is weaponizing grief to demonize millions.

This isn’t a personnel spat. It’s a stress test for the Constitution. Do courts still “say what the law is,” or does the president get to be judge, jury, and executioner of vague laws? If it’s the latter, separation of powers is dead letter.
