As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

RFK Jr putting farmers out of business. Then add Trump’s tariffs killing exports, USAID dismantling, fertilizer & tractor tariffs, etc etc
This is the most anti-farmer admin in US history and the vast majority of them voted for it. Please don’t ask for a taxpayer bailout. Again.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

Does she have any idea why folks are on Medicaid? Or what’s involved in picking crops? My goodness.
