Anti-MLK Activist Charlie Kirk Spotted at Trump's Mierda-a-Lardo Home

Charlie Kirk, the head of Turning Point, a group that spreads MAGA Republican ideas to young people, college campuses, and churches, was spotted at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. The group is an official partner of the Trump campaign.

This year, Kirk attacked Martin Luther King, Jr multiple times on his right wing shows, suggesting King was “a bad guy” and didn’t deserve a large monument or a federal holiday. Kirk pulled MLK shirts from his group’s store, decidedly purging his organization from the civil rights leader most famously known for delivering the “I Have a Dream” speech in August 1963.

Kirk said passing King’s signature legislation, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned racial discrimination and segregation, was “a mistake.” Kirk also suggested attacking MLK would win over Black voters.

This year, Kirk was criticized for being fearful of Black pilots, suggesting they are not qualified to fly planes.

Dresden. Because fascists all around the world are just asking for it--whether the invaders in Ukraine, Orban's thugs in Hungary, or the homegrown hee-haw fascism breeding right here in the USA.

It took the bombing of Dresden to disabuse many Germans of their love for fascism. That's something to think about.
