Next to Erika, the best speech at the memorial was @DrLarryArnn’s. This quote won’t go viral but it was very profound:
“There’s a ladder that reaches up towards God. At the bottom of it are the ordinary good things that are around us everywhere. If we can call them by their names they have being. The beings of the good things are figments of God… A good thing is a thing that has being. An assassin is not a thing that has being. The assassin must give up his humanity to destroy something that has being. Charlie lives on. The assassin will die.”
“I wonder what Charlie thinks about this” is a thought I will probably have daily for the rest of my life, and that in and of itself brings me deep sadness. 🥺#CharlieKirk#RIPCharlieKirk
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Greg Gutfeld just EVISCERATED Jessica Tarlov for making the "both sides" argument about Charlie Kirk's kiIIing
"DON'T PLAY THAT BULLSHlT WITH ME!"
"We don't care about your 'both sides' argument. That shlt is DEAD!"
"On your side, your beliefs do not match reality so you're coming up with these rationalizations. 'What about this, what about that?' We are NOT doing that because we saw it happen. We saw a young bright man ASSASSlNATED and we know who did it."
"The media is DEAD to us on this story. They built this thing up. We are dealing with it, we are going to act. We don't care what the what about is anymore, that SHlT is dead!"
PREACH, @greggutfeld!
An unbelievable moment on the House floor.
Rep. Lauren Boebert requests a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk.
Democrats can be heard shouting "no!"
Then, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna shouts back "y'all caused this!"
"Let me hammer something home. I am sick and I am tired of hearing people say, like Barack Obama did, like Hillary Clinton did, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."
"Guess what? You can't call the President of the United States for ten years Adolph Hitler, and you can't say that he's a fascist dictator, and you can't say that anyone who voted for Trump or advocated for him... are Nazis..."
"And then when someone tries to kill us, you can't suddenly say, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."
"You caused it... when you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people 'go k*ll them'!"
@ClayTravis has got this exactly right. You can't engage in non-stop character assassination without expecting there will be political assassination.
I feel like I've lost a member of my family, and I never even met Charlie Kirk.
It’s not gun violence. It’s Democrat violence.
Charlie Kirk will be remembered FOREVER❤️🙏
We love you Charlie❤️
I don’t care right now about the haters on cable. I don’t care about anodyne statements from politicians about Charlie.
I only care about 3 things:
1. That his killer be caught, tried and given the ultimate punishment;
2. That we pray for his family, friends and colleagues and do everything possible to ease their pain; and
3. That we amplify Charlie’s message to the mountaintops and not retreat in spreading it even one fucking inch.
I woke up even angrier. I want justice for Charlie. Everyone responsible, everyone celebrating, everyone who encouraged this or fomented it in any way -- I want them all held to account. They want us dead. They're killing us. Now is not the time for kumbaya stuff. This is real.
You cannot call your political adversaries Nazi fascists and modern day Hitlers and then say political violence is wrong when your deranged lunatic supporters act on your statements and kill or attempt to kill the people you’ve attacked. I will not accept it. No one should.
