Ashley Allison: I Have Yet to Have One Person Ask Me Why Charlie Kirk’s Comments ‘Drastically Offended Me’

Allison: “Things that Charlie Kirk said drastically offended me. I have yet to have actually one person ask me why, if they agreed with those things. And that’s the fault in the moment that we’re in right now. It is very clear that Charlie Kirk should not have been murdered, but why not have a conversation with me and say, ‘Why? Why did that upset you?’ And take the moment to listen and not have a comeback. And then I should ask the question about, why did you really like the things that Charlie Kirk said? That is actually how you move forward. But I don’t think that there’s a desire to have that conversation. And you know why? These things, social media, it gives you an ability to stand behind a tag that you never have to come up and face somebody face-to-face. It doesn’t allow us — we’ve never really come back from the pandemic, being so isolated from one another. If we actually can’t figure that out, we could lose the right to free speech because we don’t even know how to use speech properly sometimes.”
