Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet on Saturday said Charlie Kirk’s surgeon called it an “absolute miracle” that the bullet that killed him didn’t exit his body because dozens of people were standing behind him when he was shot.

“I want to address some of the discussion about the lack of an exit wound with Charlie. I’m usually not interested in delving into most of this kind of online chatter, and I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know,” Kolvet, the executive producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” wrote in a lengthy post on X.

    When someone that promotes gun violence and decries justice to its victims dies by gun violence, it’s not a tragedy; it’s poetic justice. Unless you mean it’s alright to live by the sword, but wrong to die by the sword.

      You’re one who’s been poisoned. He didn’t do anything close to “promote gun violence”, especially to the point of justifying assassinations.

      “It’s not a tragedy; it’s poetic justice.” Such a disgusting take… have you no humanity?

      He certainly didn’t “live by the sword”, he was a debater. Usually a mass-debater. (I had to). If you do anything other than abhor and disapprove of CK’s brutal public assassination, you need to inspect your heart and mind, because something isn’t lining up.

        Let me ask you, out of curiosity, when people said intolerance must be met with intolerance; what did you think that looked like? Peace? Tears? Or do you even understand the Paradox of Tolerance? All my sympathy goes to the victims and families of the victims of the actual tragedy that happened that day. The school shooting in Colorado. I guess I just have nothing left to spare for a fascist mouth piece.

          Oh yuck… oh you ran out of sympathy, or you’re a sociopath. Fair argument is guess.

          when people said intolerance must be met with intolerance

          Lol. And who said that? No one, you just made it up, and its not true. Intolerance doesn’t have to be met with Intolerance. The is objectively weak and pathetic. To be clear, exactly what “Intolerance” are we talking about right now?

            Your ignorance is on full display. Karl Popper said that. I’m guessing you’re also one of those who, when backed into a corner, can’t answer a simple yes or no to this question: “Do you support violence against violent fascists?” Can you, without attempting to twist the words or make it about me, answer that question in simple yes or no terms? Just to be absolutely clear; I’m not implying anyone is the violent fascist in this question. Just a simple yes or no will do. Answer that and I’d be happy to entertain the rest of your questions.

              Sigh… let’s break it down…

              Your ignorance is on full display. Karl Popper said that.

              Who? Why should I care? Its on display? Yo what audiences?

              "Do you support violence against violent fascists?

              Is violence justified against violence? On occasion yes. I have no more energy tonight. Be blessed and love
