    Nobody will be talking about Kirk by next week, let alone in 57 years.

    There's basically two types of people when it comes to Charlie Kirk: people who think he's a gross slimy little tool, and people who think he's a useful tool to achieve their own ends.

    I think his usefulness as a tool just ran out.

    It's funny because Kirk hated MLK

    “MLK was awful,” Kirk said. “He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

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

    Blake is an apparent reference to Blake Neff, a producer of The Charlie Kirk Show. In 2020, Neff resigned from his job at Fox News as Tucker Carlson’s top writer after CNN revealed he had been making racist posts under a pseudonym. Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott called Neff’s posts “abhorrent.”

    His producer was too racist even for Fox News lmao^[probably for being caught, and not actually for being racist]
