I know we're supposed to oppose political violence. [View all]

But the Vice President accompanying the casket of Charlie Kirk, Trump ordering flags flown at half mast, and awarding him the Medal of Freedom is grossly inappropriate.

Kirk opposed LGBTQ rights. He criticized the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr. He promoted Christian nationalism, and the Great Replacement Theory.

The man was a white supremacist and racist and does not deserve the honors this administration is bestowing on him.

Will the Grand Wizard of the KKK get to
lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda after his passing?
