He didn’t deserve to be killed, but he was an asshole.

    This guy was like the proverbial forked tongue, like what the christians would describe in their fantasyland as a devil or demon that really speaks to you and leads you down an evil path using words you secretly want to hear. Kirk talking was always full of subtle dog whistles, sometimes not so subtle, always leading the willing listener to justify their hatreds and myopic views. Framing questions as accusations, dodging actually answering questions, butwhataboutism, etc. A snake oil salesman for willing buyers. I’m not in the least religious, but the most vocal on the right are the spitting image of the nefarious smooth-talking baddies christians are always so worried about.

      Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:15

      But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3
