The number of people fired or suspended for speaking the truth about Charlie Kirk must serve as a reminder none of the far right are free speech advocates, they just want no limits on what they say.

We have the right to free speech. But you are not free from consequences for what you say. Companies have the right to fire employees who damage their reputation or brand. Same if you are in a position of authority or an elected official who betrays the public's trust. #TheWayThingsWork

Unless you're a right-wing racist, misogynist, and homophobe who saw school shootings as an acceptable cost of the 2nd Amendment, of course. Then ANY consequences are too much. You people are pathetic and border on the inhuman.

Charlie was none of that. Vilifying and dehumanizing people with lies, stereotypes and propaganda to justify your violence against them is atrocious. A tactic used by the Nazi's, the KKK, the Hutu's in Rwanda as a pretext to abuse, murder and even genocide others. Nice company you're in.

You just described Kirk's entire career full of spreading lies, stereotypes and propaganda. Either you're operating at a exceedingly high level of parody, or you'd struggle in a battle of wits with a brick.

Please. I've been reading misquotes and bald faced lies about Charlie Kirk for days. And even if he said ALL of those things, is that a reason for him to be murdered? Is that a justification now? You say something I don't like so you deserve to die? I want to understand the new ground rules here.

He said all of those things in interviews or on video. Your ignorance of them doesn't make them any less true At mo point did I say his hate justified his killing. I've explicitly stated elsewhere I would not celebrate his murder despite his public life of lies, hate and propaganda.
