Charlie Kirk's assassination has dominated the news cycle since it happened, snuffing out events such as 9/11 anniversary and a school shooting in Colorado. It's unheard of for someone who is not a "superstar" to be worthy of this much press.
It's also interesting how this event is testing the limits of free speech when free speech is something Charlie Kirk advocated for. Now people are getting fired for having "inappropriate" reactions to his death. Pilots, doctors and teachers are being relieved of their duties for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. The limits of free speech are being tested. I guess there's free speech unless you're celebrating someone getting killed. How many people said ugly things when our president missed the same shot by inches? Was their employment jeopardized? Or was it okay to say ugly things about trump because he didn't die? Is there a double standard?
Word in the media is VP Vance will be hosting an episode of the Charlie Kirk Show. Is it appropriate for a vice-president to be hosting a podcast, regardless of the circumstance?
Recently read there is a republican senator in North Carolina that is upset Trump keeps harping on the murder of the Ukranian lady by a black man who has committed many crimes and repeatedly released back to society without consequence. Well the consequence of not holding him to account for his crimes was he killed someone.
