autor: summary in 1 sentence, 80-120 simbols: The right wing attempts to create a myth around Charlie Kirk.On Charlie Kirk’s “National Day of Remembrance,” white supremacists want to replace a tradition of justice with their own manufactured myth.

They keep carving out calendar space for Charlie Kirk — days of remembrance, resolutions, flag orders — demanding the hush and reverence reserved for real moral witnesses. Congress moved to mark today as a “National Day of Remembrance”; the White House ordered flags at half-staff after his death; towns are issuing local proclamations like it’s a civic sacrament.
“Every single American should take a long, hard look at the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would want to kill a young man as good as Charlie Kirk,”
