“Charlie was a good man – a devout husband, father, and friend. His life was shaped by his faith and the idea that in America, debate and discussion are crucial to the betterment of our country,” Scott said on Thursday.

Kirk was almost certainly a demagogue who believed in nothing and was willing to shill any copytext from oligarchs and the American far right for his own material benefit. Only a fool would deny the irony of Kirk getting a taste of his own medicine (one last time).

But the funny thing is that they are showing extreme disrespect to Kirk (after he was gunned down no less) by essentially stating that he was a gullible idiot who lacked the mental capacity to evaluate American political culture. And how was his life shaped by faith? If his life was shaped by faith he wouldn’t have focused on politics.
