    Thank you for posting this. I had family that was confused about my repulsion and disgust concerning Kirk. Only encountering him in the limited capacity that he would be talked about in church. Digging on the web or YouTube even just returns a deluge white washing of his character. Even knowing the clips to look for, it was hard to find actual examples of them. Due to all the flood of bullshit coverage. Saved and Shown.

      The issue is, clips like this, people will just say “you took his words out of context with sound bites”.….while completely ignoring that the shit he says in this clip, has no way to get better in context. It’s just straight up racist hate filled maga speak.

        The ones that do that were never reachable anyhow. Which unfortunately includes my mother. Upon being confronted with this she kept saying that the clips were taken out of context. When I asked her what context would make the things he said not hateful and bigoted. All she could do was keep repeating that they were taken out of context.

      thats why the gop is trying very hard to martyr him, but hes spew so much vile hateful things, and have been used as propaganda on youtube for months on end, its hard to find something Righteous, justice about him. unlike if someone shot a person in the MEast.

      and also the gop dont really care about him, they are grifting right now.
