The Right Wing's Attempt to Create a New Icon
Charlie Kirk's "National Day of Remembrance" has been marked by efforts from white supremacists to replace a tradition of justice with a manufactured myth.
Alain Stephens, an investigative reporter, notes that Charlie Kirk is being given the same reverence as real moral witnesses, with Congress marking a "National Day of Remembrance" and the White House ordering flags at half-staff after his death.
Every single American should take a long, hard look at the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would want to kill a young man as good as Charlie Kirk.
President Donald Trump's words at Kirk's funeral last month reflect the script that the right wing wants the public to follow: a grief scene, candles, and a lesson about "free speech under attack," with Kirk portrayed as a martyr who stood bravely before the mob.
