HE DESERVED IT

A despicable rightwing hack bought the farm yesterday, and it looks like everyone is sad that someone whacked him. Given that no one minds that he's dead, one can only conclude that it must be the optics. We would all have prefered it if he died of an unclean disease. He was a perfectly loathsome specimen, and I'm glad he's gone. He died doing what he loved: being an asshole.

From Wikipedia: "Kirk spread falsehoods about voter fraud and the COVID-19 pandemic. In defending the Trump administration's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kirk falsely stated that, during the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, it "took President Barack Obama 'millions infected and over 1,000 deaths'" to declare a public health emergency. In actuality, when the Obama administration acknowledged the WHO's declaration of a public health emergency on April 26, 2009, there were less than 280 cases of H1N1 infection reported in the US, and the first confirmed death (of a Mexican toddler on vacation) would only occur the subsequent day, April 27."

Further, same Wikipedia article: "He was briefly banned from Twitter after falsely claiming that hydroxychloroquine had proved to be "100% effective in treating the virus"; he alleged that Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governor of Michigan, threatened doctors who tried to use the medication. These falsehoods were retweeted by Rudy Giuliani... "

He was also heavily involved in, and subsequently an apologist for, the insurrectionist movement that culminated in the storming of the United States Capitol.

I'm glad the bastard is dead. Good riddance.
He got what he thoroughly deserved.
I'm sad he didn't suffer.

Ironically, he was a gun nut.

Utah, the state where he got shot, is a rightwing garbage dump filled with religious nuts. It has solidly backed Republican (fascist) candidates for over sixty years. Scenically it is beautiful (a desert), culturally it's a wasteland (a desert).


Charlie Kirk praised Kyle Rittenhouse, saying he did everything right, that he acted properly and morally and lawfully, and lauded him as a hero.


Which makes abundantly clear that he had no concept of right and wrong, no idea about proper actions, and not a clue whatsoever about morals and laws.
Ironic and appropriate that he got Rittenhoused.

Utah has extremely loose gun laws.
They're ultra butch there.
