Do you have specific examples of Kirk himself advocating for violence?

    Nowhere in that quote nor article does he call for or support political violence. Do you have any other sources?

      I can’t force you to see things you are unwilling to perceive. Consider how you might feel about a prominent liberal figure trying to pay bail for one of Trump’s attempted assassins.

        You can't force me to see things that don't exist. In the sourced video, Kirk says "I'm not qualifying [the attack], I think it's awful." He and many others were making the claim that the attack wasn't political in nature, just a gay lovers quarrel. Please provide a source where Kirk calls for violence.
