A Democrat strategist made controversial remarks about Charlie Kirk just days before he was tragically shot and killed at a campus event in Orem, Utah. Gabi Finlayson, who has worked on campaigns for notable Democrats like Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden, labeled Kirk as a "professional cancel culture martyr" and referred to his campus tour as a "content farm for white supremacy."
Finlayson shared her thoughts during a presentation about Kirk’s upcoming college tour, which was set to kick off at Utah Valley University on September 10 and included a return to Utah State later in the month. During her talk, she expressed disdain for Kirk, calling him the ringleader of “little baby fascists.” She claimed that Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk founded, had shifted from promoting honest debate to fostering a platform for controversial and extreme views.
Her comments included a pointed jab, calling Kirk a "terrible demon boy," highlighting the divisive nature of his appearances on college campuses. Finlayson argued that Kirk’s events sparked significant controversy and claimed the organization had abandoned its original mission of non-partisan dialogue.
The shocking remarks came just before Kirk’s assassination, raising questions about the environment surrounding political discourse in the country. The incident has drawn attention to the escalating tensions between differing political ideologies and the potential dangers that can arise from heated rhetoric.
As the investigation into Kirk’s death continues, many are reflecting on the implications of such violent acts against public figures and the broader impact on political conversations in America.
