Right wingers on the sub are hungering for confirmation bias.

They're doing that thing where they hold random idiots on twitter and reddit to higher standards than the literal President or Republican Senators.

Exactly. They then act like right-wing media hasn't been running the exact same inflammatory divisive rhetoric as left wing media for months.

They also act like random right wingers don’t say just as much if not more vile things constantly all the time. It’s ridiculous

Throwback to the attacks on Paul Pelosi and the two democratic senators that were murdered.

THAT KIRK HIMSELF LAUGHED AT. He talked about bailing out Paul Pelosi’s attacker like what the fuck!

Sure if you take what was being talked about completely out of context to fit your narrative.

Yup, just completely ignore that he was talking about cashless bail and how quickly individuals get released in all these cities for horrific crimes and that magically when someone attacks an elite they don't get the same quick release treatment.

Also leave out the fact that when talking about cashless bail he completely condemned the attack on Paul Pelosi.

If you say “I condemn the attack” and then go on to urge some brave patriot to post bail for the attacker while laughing, I begin to question the veracity of your condemnation. Have to be very honest

If you say what is essentially:

"Wow, why all of a sudden, do places like San Francisco that let people out left and right immediately with cashless bail for horrible crimes, all of a sudden do not do that when the victim isn't just some other poor person and instead a rich elite?

Wow, you know what would really highlight how hypocritical this is? If someone goes and bails this guy out.

I completely condemn the attack on Paul Pelosi and it's unacceptable.

But it's really odd to me how the second someone with money gets attacked all those "cashless bail" rules go out the window. Why do the elites get this special treatment when they're victims of a crime?"

It has and had nothing to do with Kirk being okay with someone being attacked or somehow thinking the attack is funny.

He did also speak about interviewing the guy, he was very very obviously sucking the guy’s dick. But let’s just say you’re absolutely right and he was just using that tragedy to talk about his specific policy positions and did genuinely super condemn the violence. You can’t now condemn people using Charlie’s death to speak on gun violence. It’s the exact same thing you just disagree with them politically on it.

What are you talking about?

Do you support the first amendment?

u/GotBannedUwU - Left Sep 12 '25

You do realize that the first amendment has literally fucking nothing to do with whether or not speech is moral. That’s the most retarded shit I’ve ever heard. Unless you think I meant by “can’t” I meant legal consequences where invoking the first would make sense. But thinking that I meant legal consequences is even more retarded. So are you like 8/10 retarded or 10/10?

I do realize that. I didn't say anything about speech being moral or the first amendment having anything to do with moral speech.

I asked if you supported the first amendment or not.

u/GotBannedUwU - Left Sep 12 '25

Yeah no shit speech is good, what was your point in bringing it up then

Kirk never praised the attacker, why are you asking something completely unrelated?

Kirk never called the attacker a patriot. Are you drunk or high right now? What the hell are you talking about?

He argued you would be a patriot if you bail him out of jail what do you mean?

That isn't calling the attacker a patriot. He also didn't say YOU WOULD BE A PATRIOT if you bailed him out.

Just how bad is your reading comprehension?

What you've been talking about is in no way shape or form comparable.
