Former Gawker Editor Writes in Nation Magazine: Charlie Kirk ‘Racist, Transphobe, Homophobe, Misogynist’
Breitbart ^ | September 13, 2025 | Lowell Cauffiel

Posted on 09/13/2025 5:06:53 PM PDT by Morgana

Former Gawker editor Elizabeth Spiers unloaded in the Nation what may be the most caustic postmortem on Charlie Kirk found anywhere in media so far — comparing the slain Turning Point founder to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbles and labeling Kirk “an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist.”

The latter name calling appeared in the lead paragraph alone of the 1000-word essay under the headline: “Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning.”

Quoting gracious comments by California Gov. Gavin Newsom about the slain father of two, Spiers wrote, “There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person.”

She continued, “It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins ‘Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.’”

Spiers criticized Kirk for his support of the Second Amendment, his criticism of feminism, and his Christian belief in the roles of husband and wife.

She also claimed Kirk said that “black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.”

I’ve only seen one Nation Magazine in my long, long life. It was in an outhouse.

And after using it as toilet paper, a voice came out of the cesspit, saying, "Hey! Stop throwing your garbage down here!"

That was an insult to the excrement.

It has standards.

She did the “everyone I don’t like is a Nazi” meme.

Guaranteed she never listened to Charlie Kirk outside of carefully crafted lies and quotes from dumps like blue sky or dailykos.

The more they lose, and they will continue to, the more violent they will become until good people are forced to do what they are doing everything to avoid.

At this point, I welcome it. These people are driving voters away with this craziness.

Elizabeth Spiers has a false view of reality. Some might call it a “false conciousness”.

Like all of her ilk, she is a repetitious one trick pony.

Oh you can’t be tired of winning. Even with what the left did on Wednesday we are still winning now more than ever. They don’t even realize how bad the mess they made.

This is them sticking their head so far up their a$$ that the Doctor who pulls it out will be made King of England.

I hope the lefties keep cranking out this vitriol. It is just opening more eyes to how heartless and hateful they are.

She really approves of killing those whose political beliefs are opposed to hers, but she has to come up with elaborate, over-the-top reasons to justify it. Trump is Hitler. Kirk was Goebbels. The words of an idiotic, dead-souled devil.

Everyone who keeps spreading lies like this is doing so knowingly.
They are purposely fomenting terrorism for political gain.
