Daily reminder that Charlie Kirk argued AGAINST free school lunch for kids. The multimillionaire said no child is hungry. (files.catbox.moe)

Actually, just like this video, his schtick was that he would take all comers to debate, and he always gathered a number of people who actually took that up and even if they knew he debated in bad faith, they saw the chance to be in the conversation and generate content supporting their contrary views by showing how much of an obtuse asshole Charlie Kirk was.

Large numbers of people went to his events to specifically disagree with him.
