Legacy😂 don't make me laugh man😂😂

But who is he?
@
I forgot Charlie Kirk was a thing. His wife did too if I remember.
@
I thought he was YouTuber that posed as someone wanting to talk but was condescending to people that thought differently
@
When exactly was Kirk too "cool" to be a figure of ridicule online? I remember him early on as the bloke quoting himself over glamour shots of his own memeable face while his organisation was out there "owning the libs" by showing up on campus in nappies

Charlie kirk was a government controlled propagandist whose job was to brainwash and mislead the public, and his open bigotry ultimately got him killed, RIP.

He was only a divisive Podcaster. Children shot in schools are forgotten by the public sooner this that jerk
@
He had no relevance to begin with. Debating college kids doesn’t make you look smart. What a surprise.
@
He turned on Israel and…

They can rewrite his history all they want. But it's all on video.

They surely were in a hurry to cement the crime scene

Legacy? After 30 seconds Erica got over her grief, draped herself all over Vance and continued the family grift
