After a 22-year-old assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday apparently motivated by extremist beliefs, one Democratic influencer is trying to make the murder about him.
David Hogg, the vice chair of the Democratic National Convention, advocates for gun control through the group March For Our Lives.
“If I ever get killed by one of these right wingers politicize the fuck out of my death immediately (I’m talking before my blood runs cold) and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible and raise as much money as you can to primary Dems who refuse to support gun laws.”
Kirk’s shooter apparently lived with a transgender person and embedded symbols of apparent furry subculture references onto ammunition and the 30.06 hunting rifle that he used to kill Kirk on Wednesday from about 200 yards away.
While many mourn for Charlie, Hogg tried to use this assassination to advocate for gun control, said Kyle Kashuv, who survived the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting but advocates for gun rights.
