        Im confused about this joke, I keep seeing it, and I’m not understanding how it’s not homophobic. I never followed discourse about the guy. I’ve heard and seen much more about Ben Shapiro and Tim Pool.

        Could you do the worst thing ever and explain the joke, please?

          It was Charlie’s lie to obfuscate the fact that the attacker who tried to kill Nancy Pelosi, but ended up nearly killing Paul Pelosi instead, was a right-winger.

          Where were all the think pieces about toning down the rhetoric then? Did right-wingers hold a minute of silence for Paul? Did they swear revenge on the attacker and everyone on the same side of the political aisle?

          Or did they laugh and make homophobic jokes?

          When Paul Pelosi was attacked, conservatives instantly started claiming it was a dispute with his secret gay lover. Charlie Kirk celebrated the attack and called for someone to bail the guy out.

      We don’t even know who killed the guy yet

      It doesn’t matter at this point, the current narrative has already picked up too much steam
