Heard this play out on NPR with them giving a right wing person a lot of platform to talk about how horrible it was for Charlie Kirk to be killed and what a good guy he was and the good things he did.

Dude you got every bit of an opportunity to be sympathetic and all you had to do was refrain from blindly accusing all left leaning folks…

State a wild argument attacking a group, when countered with facts, play the victim and act like you’re being attacked. This is how they operate.
