You say that, but a “conservative” friend, who has been voting on the left as of late, claims the shooter was on the left because of trans connections and “It doesn’t make sense the right would shoot their own.” I brought up the subset of groypers that helps explain it, but this was rejected and it was suggested I was blind to the truth by my biases and there was no convincing him.
Kirk may not be getting mainstream media attention right now, but he’s still revered as a martyr on the right. Statues of him are going up in every state. High schools in Texas added him to the curriculum of civil rights leaders next to MLK. College Republican meetings still begin with a moment of silence in his memory. And my God, the fundraising in his name is relentless.
Friendly reminder that the right immediately buried the incident after they found Kirk got murked by one of their own

Epistemic bubble assed comment right there.

Hell, MAGA is getting into slap fights about whether he would have supported the invasion of Iran - and isn’t the strength of a dead man’s legacy shown by how many people twist his words to claim that legacy for their own?
If you think the right buried Kirk’s death, you haven’t been paying attention.
They’re not brushing Kirk under the rug, they’re brushing his shooter under the rug.
They’re definitely working overtime to make him a martyr
The story itself was buried, but It basically created NSPM-7. I think they got exactly what they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk killing.
