Now MAHER went & did it, twisted FDR against us, "I welcome their hatred" [View all]

Near the end of a Club Random featuring somebody I had to look up (Charlie KIRK), with a main agreement being their Woke Attacking, MAHER repeated how much 10% of Libs hate him, dared to use FDR's quotation against US instead of FDR's target/WINGNUTS - unspeakable!

Yes, almost all of this week's other Real Time was a raking of KRASNOV and he always sticks in that he is a REAL Lib, like he's on damage control for his date with KRASNOV. And on *that* topic, he keeps saying that KRASNOV was a different, "gracious" person - like THAT person was a REAL person, MAHER completely ignoring/diverting from the very possible reason of its being a PERFORMANCE for 2 1/2 hours especially for MAHER to spread out there/TOOL/useful-idiot.

As for KIRK his Wiki is a rolling rap sheet of financial and dirty tricks.

....Kirk briefly attended Harper College, a community college near Chicago, but dropped out without having completed any degree or attaining a certificate.[12] ....

In 2020, ProPublica investigated the finances of TPUSA and claimed in their report that the organization made "misleading financial claims," that the audits were not done by an independent auditor, and that the leaders had enriched themselves while advocating for Trump. ProPublica also reported that Kirk's salary from TPUSA had increased from $27,000 to nearly $300,000 and that he had bought an $855,000 condo in Longboat Key, Florida.[16] In 2020, Turning Point USA had $39.2 million in revenues.[17] Kirk earned a salary of more than $325,000 from TPUSA and related organizations.[18] ....

Promotion of falsehoods and conspiracy theories
Kirk promotes the antisemitic Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, and has described universities as "islands of totalitarianism".[5][43][44]

In a 2015 speech at the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley, Kirk stated that he had applied to the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, and was not accepted.[13] He said that "the slot he considered his went to 'a far less-qualified candidate of a different gender and a different persuasion'" whose test scores he claimed he knew.[5] He told The New Yorker in 2017 that he was being sarcastic when he said it.[5] He told the Chicago Tribune in 2018 that "he was just repeating something he'd been told,"[10][45] while at a New Hampshire Turning Point event featuring Rand Paul in October 2019 he claimed that he never said it.[45] ....
