Summary

The media coverage around Charlie Kirk is beyond the pale. From democrats blaming Charlie for his own assassination, to gleeful leftist celebrations around his passing. We don’t expect much from journos at this point, but even we were appalled at the coverage. Between MSNBC hosts like Jen Psaki and Katy Tur, the coverage turned our collective stomachs. The fellas break down the violent political moment that we find ourselves in, but also how we got here. Smug reminds us that dehumanizing conservatives has been the goal of the left, and if dehumanizing is your goal, then this is the inevitable outcome. We were fortunate to be joined by Jason Chaffetz, who was at UVU during Charlie’s last moments. 00:00 - The Fallout from the Loss of Charlie Kirk 07:48 - The Most Disgusting and Despicable Reactions 16:15 - Media’s Efforts to Dehumanize Conservatives 26:22 - The Disgusting People Celebrating The Death of Charlie Kirk 41:57 - Former Representative Jason Chaffetz, who was with Charlie In Utah Learn more about your ad choices.
