    These guys think they can talk all day about how they are going to make other’s lives worse, often those with lesser means, and they think they should enjoy safety themselves at all times. This while caring so little for others who are victims of gun violence, offering up weak thoughts and prayers and no action. Well, today he got to live the life he always wanted, he just wanted it for others.

      He was literally in the middle of defending his stance on why trans people are bad, and dodging questions on gun violence, when this happened. Bizarre.

        I was curious what the topic of his speech was but I didn’t want to watch the video. What was he talking about?

          An audience member asked how many trans people have carried out mass shootings over the past 10 years.

          Charlie says “Way too many”.

          The audience member responds, only five.

          Then the audience member asks, “And do you know how many mass shootings there have been in America in the last ten years?”

          “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk asked back.

          BANG

            Confronted with statistics that don’t fit my narrative. Better pivot to the “black people are violent” defense.

            Literally the last thought in this racist piece of shits head. Glorious.

          Gun violence, funnily enough. He had just finished the quintessential conservative “black and trans people cause most mass shootings” argument.

          I certainly didn’t watch anything so ghoulish, but the transcript in reporting was him midway through a Q&A section with someone challenging his stance on the recent trans school shooting, and making implications about him taking a hardline stance on that whilst taking no stance on others. His answer to “how many school shootings in the last 10 years have involved a trans person?” was “too many”… the most eye rollingly evasive answer possible.

      Look at some of the bastards talking about him. I’m sure inside they’re fucking scared, trying to guess how much they’ll have to spend for security and start having coffee with Erik Prince or some thuggery.
