At press time, California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the shooting because he was hoping to have Kirk back as a guest on his podcast next week.

"Hey! It was MY turn to shoot him (on camera)!"

I was kinda shocked that they:

  • got it out so quickly
  • went that hard

They already have another one about the shooter missing the biggest head in the world.

They got confused by how small the face is in comparison

Any other good archive, not reCAPTCHA'd?

I did not have a recaptcha there, very interesting. Try, https://web.archive.org/web/20250910200125/https://thehardtimes.net/culture/anti-vaxxer-finally-gets-shot/

And here is the actual article, very short.

OREM, Utah — Conservative activist and noted anti-vaxxer Charlie Kirk finally received a shot while delivering a speech in front of brainwashed students at Utah Valley University earlier today, sources confirmed.

“He was on stage talking about gang violence when all of a sudden his head jerked around and he fell to the floor. I knew immediately it was because of the nanobots in the mRNA vaccines,” said Turning Point USA member Eli Jennings. “There is no way a beautiful American bullet that is worshipped in the U.S. Constitution would do something like this to Charlie. This is obviously the work of scientists who are trying to eradicate communicable diseases, and we will not forget.”

At press time, California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the shooting because he was hoping to have Kirk back as a guest on his podcast next week.
