Pastor Howard-John Wesley of the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA, preach!
This video may not stay up for very long, although it's been on various media outlets and it's possible you've seen it already. Mostly we hope Pastor Wesley stays safe in the face of the ginned- up and very selective rage in the MAGAsphere for anyone who dares shine a light on the person whose vile, vicious assassination is now being used as a convenient excuse for cracking down on free speech and political opponents.
UPDATE: As expected, the video was taken down by the overlords of our media. Here's the pith of his sermon:
"Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated, but I'm overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff, calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land."
"How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in
your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life. I can abhor
the violence that took your life, but I don't have to celebrate how you
chose to live."
🤨 Sigh! Ya know that word "unprecedented" and how it has no meaning anymore?! Every f'ng thing since Kirk was murdered would have once been defined as unprecedented...that's what makes for righteous anger among those who understood the un-American, un-xtian evils Kirk spewed out; and disturbed bewilderment among those who never heard of him! 😳🤬
ReplyDeleteKirk's casket on Air Force 2! Kirk given military honors (stolen valor)! The US flag at half-staff for an unelected civilian podcaster! The wife of the unelected civilian podcaster given several minutes of free airtime on evening newscasts (including MSNBC!) to tell of her grief, stoke more right-wing grief/hatred, and bring more MAGA griftbucks into her Turning Point USA income/livelihood! POTUS describing the parents of the alleged murderer of his "dear friend, Charlie" as "good people who raised their son right" just because they are deep MAGA supporters! VPOTUS guest-hosting Kirk's podcast because Vance doesn't work at his elected job anyway! And, for good measure, eradication of free speech!! 🤬🤬
🤔 Kirk's death seems to have been a far bigger benefit to MAGA than to "they/us" on the left who are being targeted...oh, wait did I just start a new conspiracy theory about who wanted Kirk dead?! 😉🤭
