Cox said the suspect’s partner was transgender, which some politicians have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk, the founder of Turning Points USA, for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.
The messages in the car windows in that thumbnail… “RIP Charlie Kirk” and then “choose kindness”.
Kirk was frequently saying intolerant things about people he deemed to be his team’s enemies. Which could account for the majority of the population. I agree with some others that it was wrong that he was assassinated. But his legacy must not be sugar-coated, and we shouldn’t pretend that he didn’t say some hurtful stuff to mostly innocent people.
Yeah, there’s a reason I morally and tactically oppose political assassination. Morally because Yeah, if someone deserves to die it should be handled with utmost care and deliberation. But tactically because it always fucking works against you. I’m not sad he’s dead, but if it was someone on my side I’d be fucking pissed.
