"I'm not f*cking apologizing for that. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I'm free to have an opinion."

Amanda Seyfried told Who What Wear on her press tour for “The Testament of Ann Lee” that she refuses to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk “hateful” after the Turning Point USA co-founder was shot and killed earlier this year.

“I’m not fucking apologizing for that,” Seyfried said. “I mean, for fuck’s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I’m free to have an opinion, of course. Thank God for Instagram. I was able to give some clarity, and it was about getting my voice back because I felt like it had been stolen and recontextualized—which is what people do, of course.”

Easy work if you have a polished message and agreeable face. Fuck his monetizing wife, too.

He said many doozies over his insipid career.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage."

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

"I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I've thought about it," Kirk said. "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s."

He also said that women should get married as young as possible and have lots of kids otherwise they become bitter and undermine society and that every single word of the Bible is literally true.

But who's to quibble?

It's like their hero, who spoke to the Reichstag 1 Sept 1939

I have now put on the same uniform that was once my dearest and holiest. I will only take it off after the victory, or else I will not live to see that end.


Prophets, they are.
And hateful.

“not a good person,” while insisting, “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

Remember when they thought Cancel Culture was a Nasty Woke Conspiracy against their Freedom of Speech?
Apparently they don’t.

Not sure what "conservatives" have to gain by ascending Chucky to sainthood, other than owning the libs by doing so.

I guess they think he was on a mission to recruit young males, and turning him into a dashboard Jesus means his "good work can continue."
