A newly unveiled statue of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk was vandalized at the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.
The statue was found with red spray-paint. A nearby poster memorial in front of the statue was vandalized with red paint as well.
I don’t cry for a man who called for the stoning of gays.
Clip in context?

I know, a twitter link. Throw it into yt-dlp.
Also, the line that Kirk counters Ms Rachel with may have been a mistranslation and the original text and may have said something more along the lines of “Man shall not lay with a boy the same as they lay with a woman”, which is a very contentious idea among Christians. Whether that’s because it means they’re not being told to hate gay people or because they’re being to hate statutory rapists is up to you.
Instead, we can all laugh for the man who fought hard to change the world for others and got to experience that world for himself.
This level of poetic justice happens so rarely.
