Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

Most of them spewed some sort of hatred, some type of us vs them rhetoric (including Vance of course). But the most chilling was giving a platform to neonazi Jack Posobiec. His whole speech sounded like a Nazi/Templar call to war.

EDIT: and of course none of them mentioned the systemic problem of gun violence, or thousands of people dying like this every year. They politicized the event as much as possible to justify incoming crackdowns against dissent
