"Kirk’s last words offer a rare glimpse into the role that the gun violence epidemic Republicans have so carefully incubated plays in advancing their political goals. 'Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?' asks a student. 'Counting or not counting gang violence?' Kirk responds right before he is shot.
There’s a lot to unpack here."

"He was a provocateur. He definitely was. And by the way, he promoted violence on the regular. He promoted beating and even killing migrants. He advocated for public executions. He obviously was a big fan of Ironically, he was talking about guns when he was shot."

“'Gang violence' is a clear dog whistle for 'violence committed by non-whites,' so by asking 'counting or not counting gang violence,' Kirk is at once being extremely racist while deflecting from and downplaying the staggering death toll of needless gun violence that Americans suffer every year, because he understands the critical role that wanton gun violence plays in advancing the greater Republican political project."
Zeteo suggests that we inform ourselves about Charlie Kirk by paying attention to his own words. To assist us in doing that, Zeteo offers a helpful list of excerpts of Kirk's words, with links documenting the statements.
"Before the Right just shrugs and moves on because the shooter didn’t turn out to be a gay Black anti-gun pro-abortions-for-all leftist with gender dysmorphia and a hard-on for replacing white people with Central American migrants — and oh, they’re moving along all right! — we want to note our belief that it is irresponsible to ignore who he was to anyone outside Kirk's very, very small tent."
