Live a life promoting violence….
The way the media and some Dems are lionizing him is sickening. Of course this is a tragedy but he wasn't exactly Winston Churchill
get his ass
Ezra Klein is an insufferable, billionaires's useful idiot. He always blames everyone else but them. The billionaires financing his neo-liberal fantasies, anyway.
Fuck this snivelling careerist appeaser. Please let's not talk anymore about the coming of fascism. We seriously need to talk about its arrival and what we need to do now?
It has definitely been irking the hell out of me since February when people refuse to recognize the obvious.
It arrived under Bush and 9/11 It was just a practice run
And Dems never took away the powers that were meant to be temporary. Rights should never be given away without a very firm, very short expiration date.
This is sickening.The idea we are putting a blur filter over Kirk’s ACTIONS & BELIEFS is disgusting. Should he have been shot & killed absolutely not. But let’s not pretend he was something he was not.He infused the hate of anyone not like him into the hearts of the young-Creating today’s USA.
The opinion in this article is not shared.
Kirk was a shit stirring asshole. His whole campus tour was about inflaming the students at these schools. Well he did a really good job of it, I guess.
Charlie Kirk also advocated for raped and pregnant 10 year old girls to carry the rapists fetus to term.
Amazing how fast Trump blamed the Democrats and the Radical Left for Kirk's death. Barely 24 hours with zero evidence, that just might be a new record!
Could be a Laura Loomer follower who hated Kirk pushing the open of Epstein files. ❔
One will get no sympathy from me for this “person”.
@tagesschau.bsky.social , eine von vielen sehr heftigen Aussagen des "konservativen", "kontroversen" Charlie Kirk. Tipp, sucht mal, was er über schwarze Frauen gedacht hat
One of many very strong statements by the "conservative," "controversial" Charlie Kirk. Hint: search for what he thought about Black women.
Ezra is just a self important hack. Very annoying he gets so much air time.
Thanks for the enlightenmen, Mr O! Ezra and the NYT - the sum of their combined credibility is less than zero…
Klein is insufferable. One day, he treats MAGAs with his painful, overly intellectual "analysis" as if they have rational sane things to say. Doing his tortured best to have a "political conversation". Next day, he's in a shrill panic over their crazed fascism. What a fuck nut.
unbelievable that NYT would publish such garbage - I haven't read the piece yet but the headline is pure garbage!!😠
They aren't who they used to be We don't have journalism in this country any more
It's very believable these days. It's a right-wing rag now.
Omg
Opinion: The Joker was a mass murderer but he did it with panache by Ezra Klein
Kirk was dogshit and the world is a better place today.
As a Christian, I'm sure he was familiar with Galatians "for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Kirk sowed violence as necessary and acceptable, no surprise that's what he reaped.
Real fucking prince he was.
Real fucking prince this one.
All these Chuckle-pucks lauding Kirk as some sort of free speech advocate. Him and his ilk spewed hate. NYT: “Frank kept poking the grizzly with the stick. Today the bear mauled Frank. Frank will be remembered as someone who loved nature.” FFS. 🙄 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...
Charlie Kirk was a frigging NAZI And fascism is Turning Point's game
Klein has lost the plot. Unreadable.
useful if there were a link to Kirk advocating what is described in your post
Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist in a suit.Nothing he did was right.
Live by the Sword... Die by the Sword Charlie Kirk FELL on his sword He promoted violence He craved it And now ... He's a victim of it And they will never, ever fault violence for it
Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery started TPUSA as a Christian nationalist movement for young adults that was not political that was their culture war
You're an asshole and no he didn't.
I'm sorry he was murdered. But people need to stop making a saint of him. He had many bigoted views on many things.
im going to say what should be said open carry allowed concealed carry allowed and loads a people have this skill to do in usa cause so many guns and im surprised who ever did it dont do it more for shitz n giggles to stir shit up more as they did NOW WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Kirk was a net negative in the world He was a mean spirited bigot who will be forgotten in weeks My sister-in-law who died 2 weeks ago was a better force in the world My brother who died 3 months ago was kinder
Too bad they died Instead of you
What a lovely thought! Thanks for your kindness you fucking MAGAT nazi cunt
Reap what you sow, 🤡
Aww did poor liddle’ MAGA cunt get their liddle’ feeewings hurt? Bet you loved good ol’ Charlie, didn’t you? Cunts love cunts
Your brother and sister in law are lucky b/c they don’t have to deal with you any longer, 🤡
Poor baby maga cunt
Bye bye, net negative in the world
I am sorry for your loss.
Thanks 🥹
“The Second Amendment is not about hunting… The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government.” A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT. (Charlie Kirk explaining the Founders’ intent during the TPUSA Faith Q&A, April 5, 2023[4])
Fuck Ezra Klein and the current state of the @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com
All that was accomplished by this wrongful, heinous act was, making a martyr out of a hateful, bigoted asshole. Charlie Kirk was NOT a good American but this was NOT how we defeat or overcome their hate and bigotry.
I have ordered ALL flags to be flown at half-staff today, in honor of a GREAT martyr for Our Cause. A man who rose from a tiny youth group, to lead a BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL movement, only to be Murdered by the disgusting, Radical Left. Rest in peace, Mein sohn. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...
Please reference where it’s been recorded he advocated for that.
www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...
Not seeing anywhere where he says those executed should be people who oppose trump
There's also YouTube video.
The sanitising and canonisation of that man is going to make me barf.
Charlie could've chose to simply walk down the street. Instead, Charlie chose to throw stones at others when he went walking. Yesterday someone dropped a rock on Charlie. ---Consequences know their targets. However, his children did not deserve the pain that entered THEIR lives yesterday.
💯
You just equated "words you don't like" with a bullet. Get help.
Nope. No equation given. Just stated a fact.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. He was a huge guns rights advocate. It’s the world he envisioned. Conservatives wrote the rules and don’t like that Democrats can play the same game by the same rules?
bsky.app/profile/kath...
I don’t have a problem with Ezra’s thesis. I thought his closing was strong where he clearly stated he agreed with nothing Kirk said. Killing someone is wrong period AND that someone had highly, highly problematic views which folks should be able to highlight ad nauseam without attack.
I've been wondering why Dems/ANYONE listens to Ezra Kline since maybe his 10th appearance on @msnbc.com years ago.
kirk played with fire. He got burned.
As in the case of the United Healthcare coverage denier, some one fired back at the fascist regime, quieting one of its primary influencers.
Ezra Klein is near the top of my list of bullshit pundits.
“We are all safe, or none of us are.”
Perhaps missing the forest for the trees here, Keith. Ezra makes a valid point about the importance of just showing up and meeting people where they are. He's not validating any of Kirk's vile opinions or odious political stances.
That's hilarious Ezra is a fucking tool
Beg to differ... he’s pretty thoughtful, imo. Always enjoy listening to him and reading his articles, even though I may not agree with him all of the time.
The AI definition for fascism literally called Turning Point a moderate group - when in fact Trump is a huge supporter of it
Read up on what TurningPoint is all about - You have no fucking idea what you're talking about You clearly chose AI to tell you that Charlie Kirk wasn't fascist What a joke - Here's what it just told me, despite 10 years of extreme fascist rhetoric from them
You are so barking up the wrong tree.
You just told me that Charlie Kirk is a moderate
No I didn't. What the fuck are you talking about? Do you not read? Like I said, you've somehow gotten the completely wrong end of the stick in this convo. I cannot stand Charlie Kirk (won't miss him a bit). I was saying Ezra Klein is a moderate.
Ezra Klein is defending Charlie Kirk He's probably doing this to cover his ass so he doesn't accused of being lefty Cowards
He is an extremist You think you can describe him as a moderate??? You're not fooling anyone - You're defending a racists fascist extremist
Are we talking about the same person? Ezra Klein is most certainly not an "extremist". This guy? Think you've got the wrong end of the stick, bub. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3-0...
These are the people who spoke at TPA college and university events None of them are moderates We don't have moderates today This isn't 1996
Well, duh. They're all right-wing loons and raving maniacs. Wish you'd realize how silly you're being by not realizing you're actually preaching to the choir.
Ezra Klein was a tool for Bush
Yah, no. Not this time.
Maybe they mean "right" as the opposite of left?
And George Packer in The Atlantic 🫤
Again: in a world full of @ezraklein.bsky.social s Be an @ezralevin.bsky.social
Good riddance. He was no hero and the media needs to stop trying to do that.

“Gun deaths in exchange for the preservation of Second Amendment rights is part of America’s reality.” - Charlie Kirk September 10, 2025 at 6:50 PM
Ezra Klein is a fool. All the whitewashing of Charlie Kirk is really sickening. Please check out Democracy Now and Amy Goodman’s segment on the deadly shooting. www.democracynow.org/2025/9/11/ch...
Keep posting Kirk’s quoted comments
America only has a problem with freedom and fear when racist white men aren’t safe. Otherwise all is fine. Just fine.
Ezra Klein is a huge part of why America is as fucked up as it is.
Surprising how some people that seem intelligent just get this shit wrong, fundamentally wrong. Charlie Kirk, and people like him, have no role in a civilized society, unless it’s as a litmus test for what a human is- Ezra failed miserably.
Apparently, across the day on @msnbc the man was a saint. an inspirer of youth. this is NUTS!!!!! His death is akin to 911!
Didn't he advocate stoning gay people?
Sadly, it has been 'Politics The Right Way' for a long time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot6q... bsky.app/profile/unsp...
WTF is this?!?!
It’s the “paper of record” 🙄. I haven’t given them a single click in almost a year. I even killed my 200+ day wordle streak. Fuck the NYT.
FFS. He didn't!!!!! No surely not but guess its true. OMG. The guy was nuts.
TOTALLY!!!!!
How can we have tears for such a person?????
Cutting off Aid to millions of starving children is political violence. Taking away Healthcare from millions of Americans is political violence. Disappearing innocent civilians and sending them to Death Camps is political violence. Shooting a Nazi is a job well done. Know the difference.
Corporate Media Complex and their Billionaire owners probably biggest threat to destroy America from within than even the Confederacy.
WTF happened to Ezra Klein. He should crawl into a cave. His opinions are so milquetoast. I used to really like him. now I loath him!
I believe he said gay people should be stoned to death. Politics the right way…for Saudi Arabia.
NYT Pitch bot keels over and dies
Thoughts and prayers.
Way to miss the point of the opinion Keith
The hypocrisy out there is stunning. They celebrate a person attacking Pelosi's Husband with a Hammer. Celebrated it. They Gave money to the guy that murdered Treyvon Martin. They celebrate the slaughter of Palestinians.
Fuck Ezra Kline.
There was nothing "good faith" about any of these debate bros.
We're witnessing the apotheosis of Charlie Kirk. He's becoming the Religious Right's version of Martin Luther King or, perhaps more accurately, Horst Wessel.
Fuck him!
You are a worthless piece of 💩
If you suffered a similar fate Keith, even with as much hate for the right as you harbor, you would still deserve to leave in peace. Maybe you should like within and ask yourself when did it happened. When did you become a person of hate?
Such a shame that facts posted about a dead guy triggers a scolding and shaming from folks who’d have us believe turning the other cheek over and over again is the way forward. Kirk died by the very thing he believed in…deaths necessary to keep 2A rights. His words, not mine. Karma.
Exactly! The old saying “Those that live by the sword….” applies here.
Do you find joy in his death?
Nope. I find it fitting. Just like someone who dies doing what they love. Fitting.
Don't worry brotard, Charlie left in peice. The lights went out immediately. Did you se the video?
… says in the Bible that’s how it’s done. Or was that those goofy Left Behind books that Kirk Cameron turned into ultra-Christ direct-to-video bombs?
You are POS (that's piece of shit).
Seriously? Why are folks trying to frame Charlie Kirk as an American martyr. @charliekirk1776 was a racist, homophonic, hatful Nazi. I don’t mourn Nazis. I punch Nazis. Shame on you all for trying to canonizing him As a Black Gay man. I find it offensive. 🏳️🌈🪬✊🏾
His vile and unhinged attacks against American values and democracy were disgraceful and disgusting.
but it made him rich rich rich
For example?
Just queue up any of his speeches. You can't miss it if you listen in good faith but I suspect this inquiry is trolling.
Yup. There are records, who would have thunk it?
Was this supposed to be an example of a violent and unhinged attack by Charlie Kirk against American democracy?
Nope, just a reminder of the pedophile president that attracts other degenerates.
Oh, thanks for sharing the cartoon. I’m gonna save it. It’s pretty funny.
It is pretty funny, but you're not. You're just another miserable fascist who is attempting to rile people up. But hey, I get it, you're miserable and the only thing you love is your hate. Hate for people like me. Just like the now dead fascist. If you preach hate, expect hate.
I don’t hate you. For Christ’s sake, I don’t even know you. I’m none of the things you think I am. I wish you much love and peace in your life. My first response, based on your hate toward me isn’t to hate back. It’s to wonder how you got this way. Why do you hate me?
This is the last thing I'm saying to you because I won't waste my time with lovers of hate. No one that is a good person would defend any of this. So stop with your facade of pretending to be a good person and just admit what you are. A fascist who loves hate. Goodbye.
You advocate and defend someone who spread nothing but hate. Therefore, whether you realize it or not, you do hate me. You're so filled with your love of hate that you don't even recognize it. I'm not going to bother explaining it to you. Cry your crocodile tears all you want. Fascist
And you are.....??
there is no "right way" of practicing his form of political extremism, because the direct result of this kind of extremism is precisely what just happened to Kirk.
Consider the source and that says everything 🙄. His parents obviously failed him and it shows… Hate and prejudice is a taught behavior. Nobody is born a racist. His parents must be so proud 🙄. Monkey see, monkey 🐒 do…
Apparently, Charlie Kirk’s “lord and savior” did not agree with his stance on gun control.
Is it contractually forbidden for Ezra Klein to have consecutive good takes
Ezra Klein had a good take?
Or any good takes ever.
Alas, poor Ezra. Love him, but when he whiffs on the ball... urgh.
The US and the world is a better place without him. He spread hate. His death probably saves lives.
Why does anyone listen to Ezra Klein?
Must people tone him out. I am one of them.
Yeaup! Charlie "Balloon Head" Kirk was a shitty American and an even shittier human being. That said, this is NOT how we settle our differences in this country.
Nowhere did I indicate that in my post.
No, I agree. I was just piling on. Apologies if it sounded otherwise.
Karma…
OMG this matha fucker @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social is just the worst. Him and people like this corrupt scumbag are the reason why the Democrats are so fuckin disliked. They are bunch of fuckin sorry losers. This right wing fascist trash would be dancing on @ezraklein.bsky.social grave if he was shot.
Proving once again that Woody Allen was right: 85% of life is just showing up.
Windbag’s calling women Feminazis seems quaint compared to this
He never thought he would be sacrificed for the second amendment, but some have to die.
I had to send a copy of his statements to my freshman grandson who got caught up in the martyr worship. Hopefully, he’s straightened out now.
The intense whitewashing taking place in the media makes this feel a lot more like a Reichstag fire moment.
Can we focus on the students who were innocent victims of gun violence yet again? Let those who wish to mourn him do so.
Ezra Klein — so ready to be co-opted, so ready to be flattered, so ready to be led to mediocrity.
No sympathy.
Hastily pulled together op-ed
I will not shed one tear over the death of that hate mongering filth
He was rehashing 40, 50 year old arguments that has already been repeatedly debunked. He was using a new platform to promote bad ideas for money. No debate, no political sophistication, just grift and in-person trolling for clicks online. He made a living from peddling lies to younger audiences.
Those lies were new to the college age students, who are still impressionable.
What I get from this is, all the celebrations of Kirk’s death which are no different than what he had done are… the right way.
Communists like you lie. It's what they do, it's who you are.
Let’s play Charlie Kirk a moment here: it’s OK that people die by gun violence… It’s a price we have to pay to keep the second amendment… I’m not opposed to gun violent deaths… Plus, I hate everybody who isn’t on my team…Every death has someone who cares about it but this one has millions who don’t.
Really would like Ezra to hammer down exactly WHICH of Kirk's positions/statements he felt best reflected his own sense of civic responsibility and democratic pride
He profited off bigotry and hate. Charlie Kirk was everything that is wrong about modern “debate”. The Ezra Klein Op-ed is do short sided and flat out wrong.
Good lord
I know WTAF Ezra. Because he held public debates? The NYT is a joke.
