When did Charlie Kirk become a moderate? I think you have him confused with someone else.

He hasn’t publicly endorsed or stated that he voted for a Republican for President ever, He has however done so with Obama, Clinton, Biden & Harris. He’s the proto-Jennifer Rubin

Yeah i wouldn’t call him a moderate, but the political cleansing vibe to it is still pretty disturbing.

It’s more about the celebratory atmosphere after the fact, and less about the evidence in individual cases that is either not available yet or is conflicting as to what ideology (if any), the violence was motivated by. I’d say the real present danger is that a noted and high profile political figure (but not a politician), was murdered (presumably) for his views. That’s real, and not a what if.

the problem isn’t 2a its the fact that schools, churches and university’s are soft targets, pass a bill that puts out of work veterans at least two in each school armed with pistols and security system of cameras and the problem stops or at least has a solution in place for quick response. I’ve heard people on the right say they should ban transsexuals from owning guns do to some recent mad shooters being trans, i think that is a bad idea and infringes on their constitutional right. Their are solutions that don’t restore Americans to give up more rights than have already been taken from them since the bush era

Alex jones is hard right, nick fuentes is hard right, salty cracker is hard right, David duke is super hard right. Charlie was the moderate right, mitt romney was a centrist and also not really a Republican like that. See the difference. Times have changed and so has the political spectrum.
