(7,116 posts)42. Some examples of the so-called "vile" things said about Kirk that have led to people being fired
Save your sympathies for the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of MAGAs violent political messaging machine.
Hope the bullets OK.
"America became greater today"
"Good riddance"
This may not be the obituary we were all hoping to wake up to, but it is a close second for me.
37 years in public education, ready to take a bullet for my kids. No Im not shedding a tear, he chose to sacrifice himself for the rights [to] be protected. Karmas a bitch.
Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. You cant stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and then not expect awful actions to take place.
Why are yall sad? Your man said it was worth it,
Truly dont care if you think its insensitive or poor timing to decline to respect an evil man who died.
"Yes I am making his death political, no I do not care, If all you do is spew hate, you're bound to get some in return."
"Charlie Kirk died the same way he lived: bringing out the worst in people,"
"Could this have been the consequences of his actions catching up with him?"
"#karma is a b*tch,"
"Good riddance to bad garbage,"

Just a reminder of who owns the Post now, and what steps he has taken to "improve it" ...

You'd think corporate media would have come up with some positive or inspirational quotes from Kirk by now.

Wow. She didn't say a single word that should offend anyone. WaPo claimed her posts were "unacceptable",
