Donald Trump says Charlie Kirk didn't 'hate' his opponents, here's why he's wrong
"[Charlie Kirk] did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them,"
"I hate my opponents and I don't want the best for them,"
"I'm sorry. And maybe they can convince me that that's not right. But I can't stand my opponents."
"Patton claimed that Kirk, whom she called a "hateful racist," was responsible for weeks of abuse and death threats she received in 2024 after he placed her on Turning Points' so-called "Professor Watchlist.""
Donald Trump called Charlie Kirk an "American hero" and said Kirk "did not hate his opponents" during a memorial service. Trump then declared that he personally hates his opponents and does not want the best for them. Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA co-founder, was shot in the neck during a crowded open-air debate and died in hospital at age 31. Journalist and professor Stacey Patton reported she faced weeks of abuse and death threats after Kirk placed her on Turning Point's "Professor Watchlist." The Watchlist names academics, journalists, and activists accused of discriminating against conservatives.
