I know we're supposed to oppose political violence.
But the Vice President accompanying the casket of Charlie Kirk, Trump ordering flags flown at half mast, and awarding him the Medal of Freedom is grossly inappropriate.
Kirk opposed LGBTQ rights. He criticized the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr. He promoted Christian nationalism, and the Great Replacement Theory.
The man was a white supremacist and racist and does not deserve the honors this administration is bestowing on him.
Will the Grand Wizard of the KKK get to
lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda after his passing?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
