It’s so funny how Charlie Kirk’s “legacy” is being absolutely whitewashed. He was not a man who you simply disagreed with. He was a vile, hateful man, who spread his white supremacist rhetoric to college students around the nation. He along with his supporters would frequently harass transgender and students of color before speaking at universities. Hell, I doubt he’s even read the Bible, but supposedly he would’ve been a disciple of Jesus Christ if you listen to this shit.

No he didnt. He did some pretty horrible shit, but he wasnt a white supremist. He didnt tell anyone to harass trans people or people of colour. No one is whitewashing anything, youre just finding out that most of the shit said about him wasnt true, or at best exaggerated.

Was he your friend? No. Was he a good guy that championed free speech? Again, no. But he wasnt most of what the clickbait headlines you all consumed said he was either. It took me seconds to just google the guy, and find out the truth. Thats how easy it was. I didnt know anything about Kirk before last week. I just told take everything social media people say as truth. Maybe you should do the same. Make your own opinions, instead of getting angry because of someone elses...
