Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

Did a surgeon call it a "miracle" the bullet stopped in Kirk's body, somehow making him Bullet Jesus?

Yes, Charlie had superman-like bullet stopping strength. Sadly for him, the bullet stopping layer was just behind his carotid artery.

Turns out the bullet stopping power was the friends we made along the way

That's why it's important to always make sure you're at the centre of the group. An attack can come from any angle.

Candace Owens is already hard at work proving it's all a lie anyway.

The dumbest part of that take is there was fucking nobody behind him. Who would it have hit if it did go through?

It's a Holy Miracle! Bullet Jeebus was right there and took one for the USA! The Pope will canonize the bullet soon.

Of course, the miracle could just as easily be attributed to the skill of the shooter.
