That's pretty disrespectful to victims of 9/11.
Odds are pretty high that Stevie Miller was lying about what Kirk said to him. Just for starters.
His whole administration isn't worth a single fireman of 9/11.
If only they cared this much about the scores of children who are murdered in school shootings
His whole administration is filled with egotistical criminals.
They are all insane. For pity sake - comparing Charlie Kirk's death to 9/11 is absolutely despicable.
Murder, not assassination. Kirk was just a stupid bigmouth, not an elected official.
They’re normalizing the use of the terms, ‘domestic terrorism’, ‘national emergency’, etc in order to facilitate emergency powers that grant autocratic-like, unitary authority to the executive branch. This is nuts and it’s getting worse by the day.
Atrociously and utterly insulting to the victims of 9/11.
The repubs have to keep their base terrified. No reality required.
