'We have a statue of MLK': GOP lawmakers push for Charlie Kirk monument in Capitol in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world
[–] nozone@sh.itjust.works 42 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Kirk organised but did not attend the so-called “Stop the Steal” protests after Trump lost the 2020 election and helped coordinate buses for the 6 January 2021 rally led by Trump near the White House, where the outgoing Republican president urged the crowd to “fight, fight, fight” to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden.

Putting a monument for this turd in the capital he tried to overthrow is just perfectly republican. These people are going to milk this guys death for the next dozen years at least.

He was a glorified internet troll who just happened to have the backing of some very wealthy right wing fuckheads. He wasn't a politician. He was never elected by anyone to anything. He was a paid propagandist, and not even a smart one. The right wingers are about to ghoulishly try to profit off his death for the foreseeable future like this though.
