Summary
A memorial for Charlie Kirk was held in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday. “Crossroads” host Joshua Philipp attended the commemoration and shares his thoughts.
In the wake of Kirk’s assassination, another type of movement is starting. The attacks against conservatives, the politicized use of labels like “fascist” to describe Trump supporters, and even the way the legacy media has framed people using these labels for more than a decade—such phenomena are now turning around. In addition, President Donald Trump has announced that he will designate Antifa as a major terrorist organization.
