/ Blog / / Blog /Tell me again how it’s not okay to “celebrate” the death of Charlie Kirk, but it is okay for Brian Kilmeade to literally wish death on thousands of human beings via “involuntary lethal injection” for merely being victims of circumstance?
I am fresh out of civility. This is immoral. This is heartless. This is wrong.
There is no way to walk that back. There is no apology in the known universe for saying something so awful. There’s not even a slip-of-the-tongue “I just misspoke” excuse available for him to try.
Lord help us all if a bill passes that grants Marco Rubio the power to infringe everyone’s First Amendment rights by taking passports away if the government doesn’t like what someone says, because—Jesus Christ—they’re going to have to come up with a doozy of a punishment for someone wishing thousands of people dead.
There exists a country-wide chasm between anyone feeling neutral-to-positive about the death of Charlie Kirk—a man who thought empathy “does a lot of damage”—and someone like Brian Kilmeade wishing death on thousands of homeless people for no fucking reason at all.
That someone could condemn the former while justifying the latter?
I mean, this guy literally said, “Just kill ’em.”
What the fuck are we even doing here?
