Scott Jennings: People Saying that Charlie Kirk’s Murder Was Justified Is Also Saying that Murdering Half of America with His Views Is Justifiable

JENNINGS: “That‘s what everyone should say. But in the case of these people who are being fired from their jobs, I mean, you know, we‘re kind of — we‘re kind of tiptoeing around it here, but, you know, I can read some of them out loud if you want. These people were not online saying, ‘Well, I disagree with Charlie Kirk.’ They were online saying the world is better off without him. They were online saying, you know, his wife, in this case, ‘She‘s a sick f-word for marrying him. I don‘t care about her feelings. We‘re better off living in a world without a disgusting psychopath.’ That‘s who we‘re talking about here. And I‘ll tell you one more thing that‘s on my mind tonight and of conservatives everywhere. The idea that people are saying, well, he was an extremist or he was a racist or he was a Nazi or a misogynist, whatever, therefore we could get around to rationalizing it, Charlie Kirk was a mainstream conservative Republican. He had views that are held by tens of millions of people, including more than half the country in the last election. So if you‘re online saying this is justified, what you‘re actually saying is, ‘Half the country I live in, there‘s some justification to commit violence or murder against them.’ And that‘s what is concerning about the people who are doing this, and that‘s why I don‘t think anybody is losing any sleep about these folks not being able to teach our children.”
