Couldn't have happened to a smaller faced guy

One punch and you've got 2 black eyes, a broken nose, and a busted lip

What's wrong with his face, it looks so... odd. Don't mean to be rude but it's kinda off-putting. Never seen this guy before, don't know who he is, nor do I care.

At about 107% to 110%, he starts to look less odd.

Weird face before he became a full blown fascist propagandist, and that’s a job that will ruin your body

Yeah the small face jokes are great but that picture makes him look like the unhinged hate child of Nixon. Maybe we just need to slip him a few fifths of vodka soaked into a pineapple with cottage cheese.

To quote my late sister's late father-in-law (who was an old school republican): Republicans eat their young.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


For more than a year, Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and MAGA influencer, was aimed like a heat-seeking missile toward one goal — ousting Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

In recent weeks, at least three people, including McDaniel herself, have privately warned Trump about Kirk’s conduct, seven sources familiar with the discussions told NBC News.

Those comments sparked a second person, Darrell Scott, a pastor from Ohio who was one of Trump’s first vocal Black allies and has been an adviser to him, to express concerns directly to the former president, four people familiar told NBC News.

What’s more, many of Kirk’s critics say his passionate effort to unseat McDaniel had less to do with the party’s lackluster electoral results in recent cycles and more to do with further bolstering Turning Point’s bottom line.

At the “Restoring National Confidence” summit, hosted by Turning Point Action ahead of this month’s RNC winter meetings in Las Vegas, state and local GOP chairs were pitched on transitioning their voter outreach and canvassing efforts to an app created by Superfeed Technologies, a company led by Tyler Bowyer, the chief operating officer of Turning Point USA.

Turning Point Action, which also seeks to build up a team of battleground state “ballot chasers” to help cut into the Democratic advantage with mail-in and early voting, vehemently rejected the idea this was just to make a quick buck.
