I heard of him, but never thought he was this damn important. And this is why the censorship campaign is so frustrating to me. For anyone who hasn't heard of him, he was not "doing politics the right way".
Charlie Kirk was a bigot.
Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot.
