Well of course he did. He despises Africans and regards them (us) as sub-human. He couldn’t care less if any of their lives are put in danger - probably thinks it’s a bonus if they are killed. #RacistTrump

And let's not turn him into a martyr and start making bronze statues of him. Charlie Kirk was rotten to the core. And we should all be prepared that his wife wants to continue his work -- his work to "hate."
