According to NBC Trump said that Charlie Kirk

Was an advocate of nonviolence. Does that need fact checking?

1. If Trump said the sun rises in the east, even that would need fact-checking.

Nothing he says can be believed without fact-checking.

A single thing that Kirk ever said. Being informed is just not his thing. 🙄

…in the sense of “everyone else just has to accept our rule peacefully.”

OTOH, when Paul Pelosi was attacked and nearly killed, Kirk called for “patriots” to bail his assailant out. So, I guess attacking an elderly man with a hammer still qualifies as “nonviolence”…

5. There was no violence of this sort on all his tours of California. Bluest of blue states.

Such would have been the false flag of all false flags.

This was just a gang war hit, apparently.

And the suspect so lily-white that his lies are easily shown up.

If nonviolent means "he didn't kill anyone", sure, but words kill, eventually.

Stochastic terrorism. Someone else does the killing for you.

Did I mention the ballroom. 150 years we've been waiting for a big beautiful ballroom.
