And if there's anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that, not this.
I want to thank the people who don't support my show and what I believe, but support my right to share those beliefs anyway.
Like Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candace Owens, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, even my old pal Ted Cruz.
I don't think I've ever said this before, but Ted Cruz is right.
Even though I don't agree with many of those people on most subjects, some of the things they say even make me want to throw up.
It takes courage for them to speak out against this administration, and they did, and they deserve credit for it.
We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.
I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed sending love to his family and asking for compassion and I meant it and I still do.
Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual.
That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make.
But I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both.
And for those who think I did
point a finger.
I get why you're upset.
If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way.
I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone.
This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution and it isn't ever.
well now that we just watched all those clips again it occurred to me that emotion is completely misplaced when you compare with how he reacted um in the the aftermath it when you juxtapose it with the clip of him pointing the finger at maga which is just like obviously verifiably what he did and we had michael knolls on after party last night he was saying that is actually what upset people there have been a million jokes
made in the aftermath of the assassination.
And people have taken issue with them and been like, that's gross.
