The bitter ironies of the Kirk assassination
By James Zumwalt
There are bitter ironies associated with the assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk while on speaking tour stop at Utah Valley University.
Kirk was doing what he did best, extending a challenge to students there to prove him wrong about his political and cultural views. He was a brilliant debater whose “Prove Me Wrong” tour used logic, facts, and respectful dialogue to educate students misled by their liberal professors and other influences.
Before Kirk got started, a news reporter interviewed some students opposed to his appearance on campus. One of these was a female student, obviously of the liberal persuasion as suggested by the fluffy aqua-colored cat ears she wore. But the fourteen-second video clip of what she had to say was most revealing. It only took that amount of time for it to become clear exactly why Kirk’s tour to college campuses was absolutely necessary.
The woman stated, “We don’t want Charlie Kirk on our campus. We don’t want fascists on our campus. We don’t want to support that here.” She was then asked by the interviewer, “What is facism?” The student quickly showed her naivete in simply mouthing the liberal propaganda she had been taught responding, “I don’t know. I’m not, like a political scientist. I’m not, I’m not good at interviews. You should ask someone else.”
Here was a college protester, supposedly attending Kirk’s tour at her university to fight fascism, but who had no idea what facism even was.
