Charlie Kirk: My Thoughts

 Today I have been thinking about how much has been taken from us and it makes me angry.  It makes me angry that liberal pundits can lie and mislead; which lead directly to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  I do not think he has been replaced.  And the rhetoric has not become any softer.  Charlie Kirk was murdered because he argued that men cannot be women.  In that he is right.  Charlie Kirk was not a racist, nor any of the other names that people wanted to apply to him.  He just told the truth, and that got him killed.
