In better times, Charlie Kirk doing what he did best, chatting politics informally on campuses, persuading and changing minds.
Many today said Charlie Kirk almost singlehandedly got Donald Trump the under-30 vote, that swung the 2024 election about 20 points in Trump's favor. The second girl interviewed (about 20 minutes in) I just watched a day or two ago, and got a good laugh about how flustered she got, at how gently and nonchalantly Kirk blew up her talking points.
The Left portrays Kirk as very combative and angry, and because of that (said by Katy Tur on MSNBC in particular) Kirk somehow "sowed anger" and got what he deserved. But he persuaded instead of spiking the ball at every opportunity. Where others would one-up and slam people, Charlie Kirk was more playful, patient and friendly in his approach.
