Summary
I’ve watched with a lot of interest and trepidation as readers and listeners responded to my initial thoughts on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Over the last week, while I’ve been processing the event and its aftermath with the country, I’ve been poring over that feedback. Some of it was frustrating to read and some of it was compelling; some of it, I thought, merited a response, while other pieces of feedback seemed to stand fairly and well on their own.
Today, I’m going to share a wide range of opinions from our audience about Kirk’s assassination and my response to it: The criticism, the support, and the unique perspectives.
