Take a look, for instance, at a 2024 interview he did with Jack Posobiec, a far-right commentator known for spreading the #Pizzagate mythos and for his association with various out-and-out white supremacists, none of which stopped Kirk from employing him for years in his organization Turning Point USA and cohosting a podcast with him. It was “one of my favorite conversations I’ve ever had with him,” Kirk told listeners after interviewing Posobiec for his book Unhumans:The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them), which argues that right-wing dictators were right to torture, kill, and otherwise repress the Left, and that today’s conservatives might have to take a page out of their book.

Gee, why can’t the right have a debate instead of putting a bullet in the head of everyone they disagree with?

  Easy. Because they don't have a single leg to stand on in a debate.

  Wasn’t even a politician. He was a glorified podcaster.
