(WACH) — On Thursday, U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) announced she will introduce a concurrent resolution to authorize Charlie Kirk to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol.

Kirk, a conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, was fatally shot Wednesday while speaking at a Utah college campus event.

Several posts that I’ve seen. Of course MAGA X has to continually one up each other. Is it bots? I actually don’t think so.

My response - Which will evoke the question most people are asking now, “Who is Charlie Kirk?”

The best thing to do about this right now is to ignore it. (I wish the media would)
When they see they don't get a reaction, they'll move on.
We do need to concentrate on protecting our democracy while the children play act.

ETA: Look! 4321 posts - neat. I think I'll sit back and just read for a while.

It is sick, absurd and just so in keeping with this moment in time. Truly. Says it all about America under Trump.

He’s pandering up to THAT false idol.
He’s surely going to run against Warner in 2026.

If someone doesn't genuflect earnestly enough, will their social media accounts be scrutinized?

Or -- and I wish this was fantastical -- will the FBI be using stingray devices to get the info on people who show up? Facial recognition, as is now being used at public protests against ICE thugs?

how many times the media enshrines him. and cbs and abc and most other outlets try to bend viewers thoughts to accept Kirk's ideology as normal and even handed because he had some followers............we're not buying it. keep publishing his actual sayings and pronouncements!
we still want the Epstein files..........
