Many criticisms of Kirk were based on direct quotes of the man himself! I remember, during the days following his murder, being surprised at some of the things he said and then the defenses of him which described him so differently from the image I formed of him from reading the things he said. Quite honestly, I think he was a racist and bigoted in several ways and it made me glad I had never subjected myself to one of his performances. I think that to the Chaelie Kirk grou[ies freedom of speech is not a right we would have if today's White Christian Nationalists were writing our Constitution nor is it a right that the despicable Roberts Court will uphold and that makes this time of our history shameful!
