Charlie has hours and hours, 100s of hours, of recorded material and the left uses the same 3 quotes over and over again. Tells you how hard it has been to find their justification.

I deleted TikTok two months ago and my Facebook. I was tired of the negative garbage.

This is why I deactivated my Facebook today because my so-called “friends” started to removed me from Facebook simply because I grieved for Charlie Kirk. 😢

They’re dehumanizing Charlie and trying their best to make the assassin a sympathetic figure. They’ll build a mountain of bodies with the mortar of fascism while believing themselves to be revolutionaries.

This is why I stopped listening to all media. It's nothing but a bunch of biased horseshit.

Agree or disagree with him, you can’t deny he made an impact on younger generations. He lived by his beliefs, tried to share them with the world, and was shot for it. America was built by people with that kind of courage. Sadly, today too many confuse being offended or simply hearing a different opinion with “hate speech.”

The only heartbreak is that Charlie is dead and his family is left to mourn. That’s the ONLY HEARTBREAK😢!

Charlie Kirk was spot on with reality. Our country has become so sick that it doesn’t even recognize what sane and insane is.
