Is It Too Soon to Ask a Few Inconvenient Questions About Charlie Kirk?
['Bernard Goldberg']
Bernard Goldberg's Commentary
There’s an old line often hauled out by comedians when a certain kind of joke bombs.
If it doesn’t get a laugh, the comedian waits a beat and asks, “Too soon?”For the ghouls who get their kicks trash-talking on social media, it apparently wasn’t too soon to celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk, or to even joke about it.
One post read: “LOL SOMEONE SHOT CHARLIE KIRK.” Another said: “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Charlie Kirk.” There were thousands just like these.
Is it too soon to ask: Was Charlie Kirk humble enough to keep an open mind and actually allow his critics — at least some of the more thoughtful ones — to prove him wrong?
Did he ever say something as simple as, “Gee, I never thought of it that way—you may be right”?
