Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

Neither did he, in this context. I just dont get it, honestly. The man said some horrible shit, but for some reason, you people only ever want to talk about the shit he didnt say, or the contextless clickbait he kinda did say but not the way its being taken. Why? If you stick to the truth, you'll get a lot less pushback. From normal people at least.

Apparently it is, cos everytime I look I dont see it. I see clickbait headlines, quotes without context, and just made up shit. So... ya know, show me.
