Weasel of The Week: Charlie Kirk

 Charlie Kirk, founding father of Turning Point USA and college dropout, wore his inner bigot on his sleeve when he made some pathetic, disparaging remarks about African-American women such as Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown-Jackson, MSNBC anchor Joy Reid, and former First Lady Michelle Obama.

I'll let Jesse Dollemore take it from here:


As Jesse notes, Kirk brought in disgraced producer Derek Neff, who was fired by Fox No News as Tucker Carlson's producer months ago because of his blatantly racist POV, months before Carlson was dismissed by that same network.

What the problem really is, though, is this. Kirk didn't apply himself and dropped out of a community college. The women noted above applied themselves, and have become famous. They didn't steal their way to college. They earned their spots. Kirk is issuing dog whistles to his fellow bigots. He won't admit he made a mistake by not finishing school, because that would tell those same people who listen to him that he is a weakling. Then again, most of us knew that already. What he also is, of course, is a Weasel.

I'd not be surprised if Reid uses her platform on MSNBC to tear Kirk a few new ones.
