Due deference to VP Harris and Sec Buttigieg- but these [View all]

past few days have been a stunning revelation to me as I learn the Charlie Kirk story / one that I am ashamed to say I was barely familiar with.
He was a major influence on young voters that flocked to trump. A huge huge influence. Perhaps even the reason trump won. For Harris and Buttigieg to drag up the Pres Biden thing to say it was a mistake for him to run feels hollow and sad and not worthy. To what end? To what good? Fodder for MAGA.
Read the room people. Our country is being consumed by evil and you want to revisit Pres Biden’s decision?
Where was your braintrust while Kirk was having his way on college campuses?
