Dear @agmoore,
You are writing "Charlie Kirk's statement was hurtful and highly divisive".
Hurtful? Charlie Kirk did hurt nobody. Adults who are so vulnerable, fragile or weak that they are hurt (!) by mere words, are simply idiots.
With your choice of words you justify that someone who allegedly hurts (Charlie Kirk) others may also be hurt. This is a justifying or at least trivializing and relativizing of murder.
In his view, strides toward equal justice harmed the country.
This is a lie. He argued that government interventions like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, affirmative action, or DEI programs have had unintended negative consequences for American society. He did not say that (generic, abstract) strides toward equal justice do harm.

What are all the condolences worth when lies about him and his views are continuously spread? All those sentences like "It's bad that he was killed, BUT..."
