Two things can be true at once on both sides of the coin. Which isn't to say that at least some of those posters may have been big Charlie Kirk fans; I'm just saying that the former statement doesn't entail the latter. You can't have your cake and eat it too here - the same logic works in both directions.

But not one person has articulated that position.
I actually agree with you that both positions can be held; but the posters who have defended Kirk haven't demonstrated that. Why not?
Why are you having to do it for them?
Why are they choosing to not address any of his hateful commentary?
I guess we're both speculating for them, but seems like an obvious omission from their posts to me.
