Truth Under Fire: The Framing of Charlie Kirk

Charlie is a massive massive political and cultural threat to that ideology. So, you got to kill him. And that's the way these that's the way these people think. It's monstrous. >> Charlie Kirk was presented as um an anti-semite, as a purveyor of misinformation, as being someone on what they call the hard right. >> He's been slandered and lied about by uh people on the left. Charlie Kirk uh was shot down on a college campus not with a weapon in his hand but with a microphone. >> What kind of threats did Charlie face and did he ever confide in you about these? He would say, you know, this is a dark dark time spiritually and pray for me. He'd asked for that. >> How was Charlie Kirk framed by the narrative system? >> He was always such a generous man. I really appreciated how bold Charlie Kirk is. >> He gave me the ability to speak out. Charlie was gracious. He was a boy scout. He was the best of us. That's the one you shot. That's the one you decided to kill. >> How do you think his faith impacted his political ideas? I always say he was the most misunderstood missionary in America because he saw politics as an on-ramp to to Jesus. But fear never enveloped him. If if there was a heavy spiritual moment, he would he would ask people to pray. He was the most honest man I've ever met in my entire life. >> They want their nation, and they're willing to fight for it. And I think that's what happened with Charlie.
