|    The Secret Service Says Shitbag Charlie     |

      XPost: alt.politics.trump, sac.politics, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: alt.atheism       From: noemailplease@aol.org              It's just too bad he was shot and not bludgeoned to death on video.               This is a current Secret Service agent, stating in a Facebook post,        that Charlie Kirk deserved what he got.               “You can’t circumvent karma, [sic] she doesnt [sic] leave.”               The comments are similar to the incendiary remarks now former @MSNBC        contributor Matthew Dowd made on the network. The network fired Dowd        from his contributorship yesterday for saying “hateful thoughts lead        to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”               MSNBC called Dowd’s comments “insensitive and unacceptable” and        ultimately fired him.               The Secret Service agent’s post is circulating in the Secret Service        community with some agents upset over his sentiments because he        appears to be celebrating the death of a political figure, and one        whom the president is honoring with the Presidential Medal of Freedom        and has often had by his side at events over the last several years.               “If that’s all it takes to set you off, that’s dangerous to have        around,” one source in the Secret Service community told @RCPolitics        about the agent’s Facebook post on Kirk’s death.               “I’m mostly concerned about the morals of a person sworn to protect        the rights of others to engage in politics and exercise free speech,        celebrating the death of someone exercising those same rights,” the        source added.               Several of the agent’s Facebook posts negatively comment on Trump, his        administration, and its policies, but nothing that I’ve reviewed is as        pointed and offensive as this agent’s post about Kirk’s death.               I’m told this agent, who is in Phase 2 of his career, is not on a        detail that would be regularly charged with protecting Trump. Yet, all        agents, at times, are called off their official details/duties to        contribute to presidential coverage of some kind or another.               …               In the Wednesday Facebook post, the Secret Service agent, Anthony        Pough, justifies his “karma” comments by making a blanket statement        that “Charlie Kirk spews hate and racism on his show and adding the        words: “Charlie Kirk says black women do not have the brain processing        power.”               It’s an undeniably controversial subject matter, but the broad        statement Pough referred to didn’t include the full context.               These are Kirk’s full comments in July 2023 after the Supreme Court        declared affirmative action programs at public and private colleges        and universities are unconstitutional.               Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Kentanji Jackson -        an MSNBC host, former first lady, U.S. representative, and Supreme        Court justice, respectively — had all expressed strong disagreement        with the ruling.               Kirk:               “You really have to wonder. In fact, you know, if we would have said        three weeks ago, Blake, if we would have said that Joy Reid and        Michelle Obama and the late Rep. Sheila Jackson, Lee and Ketanji Brown        Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been racist, but        now they’re coming out, and they’re saying it for us.”               “They’re coming out and they’re saying, ‘I’m only here because [of]        affirmative action.'”               He then played footage of Jackson Lee, stating that she was a “clear        recipient of affirmative actions, and particularly in higher        education,” but insisting that she graduated on her own merits.               Kirk then added this response, appearing to refer to Jackson Lee, who        had just spoken in the clip he shared with his audience:               “Yeah, we know you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise        be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot        to go be taken somewhat seriously.”               “It’s very obvious to us that you were not smart enough to be able to        get in on your own,” he added.              I doubt very seriously if Pough is going to have a job in the government       for much longer. And honestly, if this is that he really thinks, then he       needs to go. There’s no way President Trump would ever trust this leftist       a-hole to keep him safe.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
