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

The wealthy guy telling someone else to put up the bail money

By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out. - Kirk

You have a point. Do you even need to be local to post bail for someone? He probably could have.

Bail doesn't require the payer to be local.

Beaten with a hammer as in attempted murder, which was the verdict. His skull was fractured.

I watched a retired Navy vet get attacked by a racial slur screaming MAGAt wielding an American flag on a pole on Labor Day.

The local GOP bailed the MAGAt out after telling the news they didn't have any association with them.

Bananas. I love his “it’s awful and should be condemn, but….”. I’ve heard this a lot in the last eeek.

It has indeed been an "eeek"

Except for the Charlie Fountain, which was a nice break
