The Right Wing's Attempt to Create a New MLK
On Charlie Kirk's "National Day of Remembrance," white supremacists aim to replace a tradition of justice with their own manufactured myth.
Alain Stephens, an investigative reporter, notes that they are carving out calendar space for Charlie Kirk, with days of remembrance, resolutions, and flag orders, demanding reverence reserved for real moral witnesses.
- Congress moved to mark the day as a "National Day of Remembrance"
- The White House ordered flags at half-staff after his death
- Towns are issuing local proclamations
"Every single American should take a long, hard look at the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would want to kill a young man as good as Charlie Kirk,"
President Donald Trump said at Kirk's funeral last month, setting the tone for a narrative of grief, free speech under attack, and a martyr who stood bravely before the mob.
