Hasan Piker speaks out against ‘dishonest’ rhetoric about Charlie Kirk | 7.30

Описание: Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was charged with murder overnight.

A public memorial for Kirk, the right-wing activist, influencer and close associate of Donald Trump, will take place in Arizona this weekend. The US President and Vice President are expected to attend.

The Trump Administration has used the violent killing to escalate its plans to target political opponents, including repercussions for those celebrating the assassination.

Live-streamer Hasan Piker, a peer of Charlie Kirk's but his antithesis politically, watched the assassination play out online as attendees at Utah Valley University immediately posted graphic footage on social media.

The two had debated each other in the past and were due come face to face once again at an Ivy League campus next week.
