The Right Wing's Attempt to Create a New Symbol
The right wing is trying to make Charlie Kirk a symbol of their movement, similar to Martin Luther King Jr.
On Charlie Kirk's "National Day of Remembrance", white supremacists aim to replace a tradition of justice with their own myth.
Alain Stephens, an investigative reporter, notes that they are carving out calendar space for Charlie Kirk, demanding reverence and respect.
- Congress marked a "National Day of Remembrance" for Charlie Kirk
- The White House ordered flags at half-staff after his death
- Towns are issuing local proclamations
"Every single American should take a long, hard look at the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would want to kill a young man as good as Charlie Kirk,"
President Donald Trump said at Kirk's funeral, trying to create a narrative of grief and martyrdom.
The goal is to create a script of "free speech under attack" and portray Charlie Kirk as a brave martyr.
