Charlie Kirk’s record of ‘bigotry, hatred and white supremacy’ means there is no legacy to honor, says Ilhan Omar

At least someone has the courage to speak out against the right wing media machine trying to rewrite history.

The guy did nothing but spread hate, racism and division and we are somehow supposed to honor him? I am supposed to bow to a bunch of conservatives who do nothing but make jokes and look the other way when someone else is killed?

When you’re right you’re right

When I was a kid we had a song about this:

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,

Go ahead and cheat a friend.

Do it in the name of Heaven,

You can justify it in the end.

Honestly- I’m over it. I fucking love Ilhan Omar so much- I think she is a badass. But like- I just want us to move on and forget about Kirk. I miss the days where I wouldn’t have to think about him.

This guy sucked. You know who else got shot to death? That one child molester that the dad waited for in the airport and popped him by the pay phones. I didn’t cry about that guy getting shot either.

She’s right.
Fuck Charlie Kirk and fuck the losers pretending he was a model citizen.

She’s right. Stop lionizing bigots. He’s just a shitty online David Duke.

She’s right, the world is objectively a brighter place without him. His “legacy” is hatred and ignorance.

She’s not wrong.

From post that was removed yesterday – 

Seeing so many mythologize Mr. Kirk was distressing. Of course no one should be murdered for their beliefs, but neither should bad beliefs be raised up as worthy of our worship. 

His words would once have been immediately seen as fringe bigotry. The idea that they are now considered acceptable is a warning. 

>But in the wake of Kirk’s death, individuals and institutions across the nation moved not just to condemn his killing and political violence, but to venerate him. It was unsettling to many to see politicians from across the political spectrum speak with reverence about a man who espoused the racist Great Replacement Theory, which argues that white Americans are being systematically replaced by multiculturalism and by brown and Black immigrants; who continuously claimed that “there’s a war on white people in this country; who said it was “a fact” that “prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people”; who gave a platform to people who believe in eugenics and race science; who contended that Black people commit more crime than white people and that the blame lies in a Black culture that accepts that Black men “impregnate women and they don’t stay around”; who referred to a transgender athlete as an “abomination” and called “the transgender thing” a “throbbing middle finger to God”; and who declared that Islam, the world’s second-largest religion, “is not compatible with Western civilization” and that it is a sword being used “to slit the throat of America.”

>Still, N.F.L. and M.L.B. teams held moments of silence. C-SPAN covered Kirk’s memorial service live. Cardinal Timothy Dolan recounted how, after Kirk’s death, he spent time researching and determined that Kirk was a “modern day St. Paul” and a “hero” albeit “pretty blunt” and “pretty direct.” Mainstream news outlets such as CNN and CBS invited Jack Posobiec to come speak about his friend’s “life’s work,” and about how to “fill this void” Kirk had left behind. 

>These outlets did not mention that Posobiec is a conspiracy theorist who has been labeled an extremist by the Southern Poverty Law Center because of his ties to white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

There is a legacy, it’s just not one that deserves honoring. 

Go further and Call him and his words villainous trash.

And if Kirk was the free speech hero the Right claims, then he would fully support her right to say that.

I invite all on the Right who say they admire Kirk, not to sully his legacy by calling for her to be cancelled.

Ilhan Omar has received more death threats than almost anybody in U.S. politics. Just imagine the roles were reversed.

* Would Republicans unanimously condemn an assassination? (I hope so but my confidence level is very low)
* Would Republicans support a resolution honoring her legacy as a role model and fighter for the people?
* Would U.S. flags be flown at half-staff?
* Would fluff pieces be written in right-wing outlets about how she was doing politics the right way?
* Would social media accounts be monitored for saying anything negative about her?
* Would comedians be taken off air? Would journalists be fired?
* Would NFL teams and businesses be expected to honor her legacy?
* Would there be a security directive to target Islamophobic and hyper-capitalist ideologies?

I could go on. For reference, when it came to the assassination of Melissa Hortman, Trump pretended like he didn’t even know about it.

True

They can’t even counter her statement, just attack her.

Says all it needs to right there.
