    This reminds me that every conversation about Charlie Kirk should begin and end with his final words:

    “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” he asked.

    “Too many,” Kirk quipped. The crowd clapped and cheered.

    Five, the audience member claimed. “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” the man continued.

    Kirk leaned forward and picked up his mic before setting back into an upright position. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” he said.

    A loud “pop” suddenly rang out.

      I’m confused about the back and forth about shooters. An audience member said five for transgender shooters (the numerator), then asked Kirk how many mass shooters total (the denominator)?

      So the audience member was trying to disagree with Kirk to suggest the transgender shooters are a small proportion?

      And the Kirk comes back with the gang violence question to suggest what?

      I’m genuinely confused here, no agenda, just literally don’t understand the transcript.

      God must have been tired of people misinterpreting Him and decided to lay it on real thick with this one
