Letβs make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. β Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.
Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

As a sexual abuse survivor, I need to talk about my anger.
I'm so angry about the government not stopping Epstein when they had the opportunity, causing hundreds more girls to fall prey to him because of inaction. I'm enraged about the cover up. And I'm furious about lack of care for young girls.
