Watched a few of of his “debates” with students. Rarely did I see him debate a professor or a peer. He was intelligent. He also debated unfairly - bullying, interrupting and personal attacks when he was losing. Hard to tell if he sincerely believed many of his talking points, or if they were just methods to make money and achieve political goals. Seems likely he was a narcissist and possibly a sociopath.
Charlie Kirk has a history of violent and bigoted rhetoric.
