23. These words from the Scripps article stand out for me:

"[In a video posted on X], Isker derided what he described as 'many foolish Christian leaders' who have urged people to follow the words of Jesus to love their enemies and to turn the other cheek.
'This great evil must not be tolerated.
It must be rooted out and eradicated,' he insisted."

Okay, let me get this straight-- quoting Charlie's Kirk's uncharitable rhetoric is mean and disrespectful to Kirk's memory, but quoting Jesus' words of peace is dangerous and evil?


Dude, why are you so set on calling yourself a Christian if the words of Jesus Christ offend you to such a degree?
