He was only there because he knew it would help him with his base.
He doesn't love anyone but himself, and so he's your friend until you do something to anger him, then he attacks.
He resents and replays any and all slights, and looks for the time when he can punish those "wrong doers" who hurt him.
Charlie Kirk's farewell was just another opportunity for him to do what he always does.
