And I oppose gun violence so much.

A person who worked with us, he was killed last October and it just devastated me.

A young black kid that had worked for me for like six years.

And so gun violence is avoidable and preventable.

And nobody surrounding Charlie Kirk even talks about that.

But I digress.

So everybody saw that, and it was horrible to see.

Nobody's really talking about what he did.

They just kind of ambiently knew who Charlie Kirk was.

And then the funeral happens, and it's pyrotechnics, Christian nationalists, Bible thumping.

And I was on Hassan Piker's show kind of right after this happened, and I said...

Hassan, where I grew up, I know evangelicals like I would go to church with them on the weekend and that's their vibe.

But country club Republicans look down on Bible thumpers like that, Episcopalians and moderate Republicans.

And and they put on this huge megachurch funeral.

And there was kind of a backlash from that, like, well, this shit's weird.

Why are there fireworks?

Why is all of this talk about overt religiosity?

There's something so off-putting about it.

And I think that's what's happening with a lot of this.

And I think there is going to be a blowback from it.
