saying we are taking his words 'out of context'. Yeah, sure. Kirk was a hate spewing Christo-Fascist white supremecist.

With a video to prove to me that I had taken a Chuckie Kirk quote out of context…

I watched it, and it just reinforced my point about what a garbage person Kirk was.

I don’t think he watched it either; he was just forwarding a message he had seen online.

and total devaluing it in his second term. It will have to be renamed something else and all medals given by Trump mean absolutely nothing.

I hope this kid and their family are hearing about this post from thousands of like minded people.

I hope someone - perhaps the governor or the new Pope - does something to honor the kid and all others who have acted in such a way.

I thought of the pope since it was a Catholuc school.

We don't live in that country anymore, we live in one that celebrates B S artist 24/7 and it all comes from the MSM the master B S artist's ,whom have created this nightmare so they can make bank, the entire scope of tv news has been skewed one way for years, they love a great disaster, tremendous ratings $$ , heroic stories about a single kid, not so much, maybe a 15 second spot ,once.
