We must not posthumously sanitize Charlie Kirk's hateful life
Opinion: While condemning violence is something most can get behind, the sanitization of Charlie Kirk's hate has gone too far, argues Erin Reed.

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

The one obvious thing is the shooter was raised steeped in gun culture and nobody on the news seems to want to have that conversation.

Probably 80%of Americans…”WHO the fork is Charlie Kirk?” Then they read what he has actually said and wonder “What the fork is wrong with these people?”

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

The way the UK legacy media is fawning all over the (violent) death of a fringe far right speaker from a different country, is highly revealling of the direct & indirect funding network from USA right wing evangelical money to UK newspapers & the power that legacy media holds over UK politics.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting. The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

A local poet came into the bookshop earlier. She kept saying things like, "You wouldn't understand, but as an author..." and "Being an author gives me a unique perspective..." I didn't have the heart to point out my four most recent novels on the shelf behind her, and just smiled and nodded instead.

Family defends man who was questioned and released after the shooting
By Sarah Blaskey and Molly Hennessy-Fiske
Zachariah "Zach" Qureshi, 25, an MBA student, was standing about 25 feet away when Charlie Kirk was shot. He was later held for questioning before being released by the FBI, his mother, Juliette Qureshi, told The Washington Post.
She said it wasn't clear why the FBI questioned her son.
"He'd attended a Turning Point event before and was there to hear Charlie speak," Qureshi said.
"He was devastated for his family. He didn't have anything to tell the FBI that everyone there on the ground didn't also see.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.
