Shame he can no longer bring Charlie Kirk onto his podcast to talk about it.

Yeah, that's a real pain in the neck, huh?

Charlie adored Ayn Rand and ended his life with an interpretive performance of The Fountain-head

Still amazed the shooter didn't get him in the head.

I like the poetic justice that the bullet destroyed the organ he used to spout hate

it's worse now all the ChristNazis can mourn their martyr and opine on "What Would Charlie Do"

They are so so SO much like the Muslims performatively wailing over their martyrs

It's weird to see people turn to "Muslim Martyrs" when the neater parallel to a Christian Nationalist organization would be Catholic Saints.

I've seen more than one person comment on Kirk being "The First Protestant Saint". Although, we'll see if it sticks. Barely two weeks since his death and his name has already dropped off the radar in favor of Shiny New Thing.
