The last week has been very educational, but not in a good way.
I’m flabbergasted by the enemies of Charlie Kirk–supposedly educated, responsible people–saying the quiet part out loud, unaware of how ghoulish they sound. They would rather see him dead than hear him speak. I’ll bet they never use such vitriol when referring to the KKK.
When Charlie was alive (and, yes, I will refer to this brother in Christ by his first name, even if I don’t agree with everything he said), these people had every opportunity to question him and present counter-arguments during his many open-mic debates. Most of them didn’t, and simply cast aspersions from the safe remove of social media.
And now that he’s dead, all they can do is slander him and dance on his grave. Shame on them. Yes, flabbergasted is the right word.
