If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Hasn't even been 24 hours and the Charlie Kirk discourse is tedious. Dems retreat into their corners, MAGA into their caves, blah blah. We don't even know motive – maybe Kirk was involved in a road rage incident on the way to event? Maybe it was a Laura Loomer fan?

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
