Your question was "How did Charlie Kirk spread hate?"
I answered the question with my opinion and some ways where I found his speech 'hateful'.
You then say you don't want to talk about Charlie Kirk.
That's cool.
In terms of unkind and uncharitable. These are the ways we excuse things imo. We've done that for years with Trump, who brought this type of divisive language to the forefront about a decade ago starting with Obama is not an american but a somali or whatever and John McCain isn't a hero (pretty sure he had the flags that were flying half mast raised because he hated McCain). The examples are too many to count.
This type of language and the hatred it inspires and the subsequent violence it inspires is no accident. Words do matter. I am not saying there aren't people all across the political spectrum who say bad or hateful things. But I wasn't playing whataboutism, I was talking about a specific example in response to your question.
