I would have PAID to witness a debate between Charlie Kirk and Dan Barker, Co-President of The Freedom of Religion Foundation.

Dan is a former evangelical preacher and is a skilled debater.

and Kirk always ended up looking like a fool.

An aside, Parker was onstage with Kirk to debate him when Kirk was shot. He was understandably traumatized and took a week break from debating MAGAts on TikTok and YT. He came back a couple of days ago and MAGAts bombarded him with, "aren't you sorry you called Charlie names now that he's dead?" blah blah blah. Parker finally blew up and told one caller that he was horrified and traumatized and Kirk shouldn't have been murdered, but he was still a racist piece of shit and a horrible person. That pretty much shut them up.

explained how they took him apart. Kirk basically says the same thing over and over when confronted with the questions or statements. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. They knew his moves, his responses and knew how to respond...
He was especially un nerved when the young lady's first statement was she is a feminist...
