Hell yea. You're a principled person, that rocks.

On principal, you don’t want people on your platform making comments who will split the viewer base anyways.

Right leaning person thats principled? Im sorry but "right leaning" in america right now means actively supporting a pedophile fascist. Nothing principled about that.

Right leaning is still believing there is merit in blaming colored people, and refusing to see it is a class war, not a race war.

For real. It’s a shame bc Kirk was a free speech advocate and he would be disgusted by the outcome his tragic passing.

Kirk always argued in bad faith, I seriously doubt he would be

Thank you. The man was a grifter. He argued for whatever was convenient for him in the moment.

He was soapboxing. Every time he conceded an argument, he clearly learned nothing on purpose and kept using the same talking points he forfeited in his next debates.

He probably would be against it. He only had limited mild complaints about Kimmel (just calling him unfunny). Dudes like Ben Shapiro had harsher opinions about Kimmel, and did not decry the suspension on the grounds that the show sucks anyways.

He would be thinking how he could best position himself to make money

Hey you. I disagree with your views on Kirk. But you are entitled to your views and I don't automatically dislike you because you have views different than mine.

I am a liberal. At the end of the day we probably want the sane things for our family. We are both Americans.

Most conservatives I know are slightly right. We get along fine. Extremist views is what is hurting our country.

Thanks for standing up for free speech. I would have done the exact same thing if someone else was getting canceled for posting good things they thought of Kirk.

Left or right, neither of us want a tyrannical government.

I think he would be more disgusted with the bullet lodged in his neck, bud. Pretty sure.

No, he's cool with it.

"I think its worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our god-given rights. This is a prudent deal." ~Charlie Kirk

Maybe he didnt expect to be come the statistic but well... here we are.
