Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

It's not surprising that a Charlie Kirk memorial would be entirely coopted by Trump.
Didn't they announce a Charlie Kirk Memorial tour or something and three people had their photos on the post; Trump, Kirk's widow, and Vance. Not even a photo of Kirk himself.
I hated Charlie Kirk, but the lengths to which MAGA is using his death for all kinds of performative bullshit (INCLUDING his wife, apparently), has me actually feeling some small level of sympathy for the fucking guy.
