Charlie was Christian and any replacement of him needs to be Christian too.
Charlie Kirk was much like Rush in that he was a COMMUNICATOR first and foremost.
I don’t much like the term conservative as it has been misappropriated by the globalist sellouts.
Rush communicated the common sense and traditional Midwestern values which have always made American great.
The same can be said of Charlie Kirk.
Neither Rush nor Charlie had a college degree.
That’s likely checks a box in the plus column.
Ben Shapiro checks the Ivy League box.
The only person I know of that checked that box which who can match and exceed the communication of skills of Rush and Charlie is named Donald.
And I would add that the Wharton School of Business may be indeed technically in the Ivy League, I think it may skip the political and cultural indoctrination of the other Ivy League schools.
Personally, I am OFFENDED by Shapiro’s remark.
Charlie is not even in the ground and Benny boy is looking to gain audience.
Reminds me the of the coup meister Alexander Haig saying stupid stuff after Reagan was shot.
Candace Owens is making some pretty powerful claims. We will see...
I would give him a 90
I used to listen to him
The headline is poorly written and allows readers to draw an incorrect inference - he said “we” would do so. Those of us still here. Not that he was personally going to take Charlie’s place. His statement is similar to what others have said.
Ben Shapiro opposed Charlie Kirk? Hardly - they both appeared at events together and on each other’s shows.
And what “hijack attempt”? He said *we* - not him personally.
That is EXACTLY what he is up to...qui bono?
“qui bono?”
That’s always the question, right?
Also, Shapiro, being Jewish, couldn’t possibly carry on Charlie’s faith legacy.
Will do.
Next time I have the urge to be offended; I will go back and search "conservatives" during the 2015/2016 Republican presidential primary run-up and I'm sure to find Shapiro and that National Review Never-Trumper crowd.
Well sure, if that’s what you like wasting your time on.
That’s not a defense of this incorrect headline, however.
