Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
No one deserves to be shot brutally in public, sliced open by the bullet of a cowardly sniper.
Hence, I condemn in the strongest terms the targeted assassination of at least 1500 Palestinians by snipers - many of whom were women and children collecting food - by the IDF cowards in Gaza.
And I condemn in the strongest terms the shooting of over 1000 Palestinians living in the West Bank in 'clashes' instigated by Isareli forces.
And I also condemn in the strongest terms the bombing and intentional killing of over 70,000 civilians in Gaza by the genocidal regime of Netanyahu.
Anyone who justified or mocked those deaths deserves no sympathy and is no hero - even as the same verdict above holds true for them as well.
Dying by violence does not cleanse a legacy of justifying violence.
Well that escalated quickly.
1. Yes - we made fun of a guy's name. It was a huge fumble.
2. We apologized to him directly and offered him $10,000 as a gesture of goodwill.
3. We've been poking fun at customers on social media for over a decade now. We're not going to stop, but maybe next time you'll be the one who gets $10,000.
