Ahh yes, advocating for limited government like the "full military occupation" of American cities. Totally just a small government guy.
Here's another quote from the same article. "Simple fix. You steal a car, 25 years in prison,” the pro-Trump pundit raged. “I don't care if you're a teenager. I don't care if — well, I was raised without a dad. Well, you're going to go meet a new dad in jail. We're done. We're not putting up with it. We need more prisons, and we need more prisoners."
The guy calling for more prisons and prisoners is small government? What world are you living in?

You see, this is what Im talking about. Youve left out the context. The comments were made while there was reports of large scale car thefts and violent street crime. You can also see people talking about cutting the balls off of men anytime some rapists gets found. Does that mean that people who hate rapists are all man haters?
He was also addressing the culture of making excuses for criminals, most notably home life. "I grew up with out a dad, so that makes it ok that I was a cunt!" type of deal.
Why are you presenting that he was calling for a constant military occupation, when the reality was it was a limited call? And since the subject he was being asked about or addressing was in black communities, why are you acting like he was claiming only black people are criminals?
Again, you can easily attack the shit he was saying, without framing it being worse than it was. What he actually said was bad enough.
I never said anything like that, all I was arguing is he clearly wasn't a "small government" anything. You're the one who asserted he was. It really seems like you're invested in defending the guy... I wonder why that would be
Because the whole right wing propaganda apparatus jumped into action to tell all the people who didn't know who Charlie Kirk was at all that he was a good man and blah blah blah, meanwhile those of us who have known about him for a long time and seen all the shit he's said over the years already knew what a shit head he was.
To be fair I don't really remember anything he said, I just remember he was a Nazi because he supported Israel and was involved in Turning Point USA, an organization that paid the YouTube algorithm to spam me with annoying bullshit
