The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk Won’t Promote Speech; It Will Restrict It
On September 10th, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
Prior to his death, Kirk was a key player in the Make America Great Again (MAGA) culture war against liberal ideology, broadcasting his agenda via debates against college students and social media personalities.
the left criticises him for spewing hateful rhetoric (such as likening abortion to the Holocaust and promoting the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory) and for engaging in predatory political discourse in order to farm engagement on social media.
His legacy proves to be as divisive as his rhetoric: the left and right alike are trying to discern what the nature of his assassination and the subsequent framing of his legacy will mean for the future of speech in the United States.
Author's summary: Charlie Kirk's death sparks debate on free speech.
