Charlie Kirk, provocateur.

In the art world, being an insurgent might enhance a career. But in the political world, being a provocateur would more aptly described as being an agitator, instigator, inciter, or rabble rouser and that comes with risks.

We’ll never know how many people of color have suffered as a direct result of Kirk’s racist and inflammatory rhetoric.

Conservatives will surely blame us for his death and we shouldn’t give them any cause, but they should be told again that fueling hate has consequences and they’re the ones doing it.

No brainer to me.
