What did she say exactly?
‘I would never’ after you just did. What on earth could you have agreed with of Charlie Kirk’s views?!?!?!?

We used to be able to say, ‘That person was a horrible racist and I’m glad they are no longer with us? When?!?!?
MANY MANY christians support the LGBTQIA without supporting NAZIS

At least people know who you really are
