Ah yes, a relatively moderate white supremacist who believes gay people should be executed and children should be forced to watch public executions. Just about as moderate as the Taliban

What is your honest belief. All of the things below are in the news, you can copy and paste any of these quotes to back that up.

> "Robinson's mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left — becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented," the court documents say.

> "She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders. This resulted in several discussions with family members, but especially between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views.

> Robinson: since trump got into office [my dad] has been pretty diehard maga.

> Rounds in the rifle were allegedly etched with messages like "Hey Fascist! Catch!" and lyrics of the anti-Nazi and anti-Fascist Italian folk song Bella Ciao.

I commented on Kirk's stance, not the shooter's. I don't endorse political violence.

I just take umbrage with the framing of Charlie Kirk as a moderate. He was a white supremacist. He believed that women shouldn't have the right to vote. He endorsed the state-sponsored execution of LGBTQ+ individuals.

These aren't moderate positions in the modern day, they're the positions of a religious extremist.

These are wild mischaracterizations of Kirk. You have a video of him saying any of that? Most of you lefty people are getting clips from Destiny that are clipped to show a wildly unfair characterization.
I'd feel a lot more inclined to engage with you on this if your first response wasn't a complete non sequitur that leads me to believe you've been engaging in bad faith from the jump.
