    And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst-Wessel-Lied

      Horst Wessel was a Nazi street fighter. He died in an argument with his landlady. He owed rent and she’d asked some local boys to be at the meeting. Turns out the locals were Communists. The Nazi Party turned Horst into a martyr and made the song about him the Party anthem.

      Kirk was just lucky enough to publicly catch a bullet.

      Propaganda/Manufacturing Consent for crimes.

      And Kirk knew like every republican megadonor (they all funded him). Many own or run media sites.

      But yeah its exactly what a lot of media did for the leadup to the iraq war, by many of the same people (Tucker carlson for instance)
