> “Why has he not been bailed out?” Kirk said Monday on his podcast of the man who allegedly beat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s husband Paul with a hammer last Friday. “By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out, I bet his bail’s like thirty or forty thousand bucks.” With a smirk, he added: “Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.”


Nowhere in that quote nor article does he call for or support political violence. Do you have any other sources?


If describing someone as an "amazing patriot" for bailing out someone in jail for political violence (against "the other" side) is not supporting political violence, words have stopped having any meaning.


Kirk says "I'm not qualifying [the attack], I think it's awful." He and many others were making the claim that the attack wasn't political in nature, just a gay lovers quarrel.

Please provide a source where Kirk calls for violence.


My point is that when Kirk engaged people in debate, he fought with ideas and logic. ( Check the numerous video shorts posted. )

We need more people like Charlie Kirk, and less violent thugs. Martin Luther Kings niece has just posted the Kirk has won. When a person is martyred, they will be remembered for the merits of their arguments.


He fought with bad faith and Gish gallops. That’s certainly better than doing it with punches, but MLK he wasn’t.


He spoke his mind and invited dialogue without violence.

He was killed by the same attitude that led to school shootings, political assassination attempts, and Tesla scratching. These people are the worst of humanity, they are vile scum.


> He was killed by the same attitude that led to school shootings…

On this, we can agree!

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment." - Charlie Kirk
