Georgian President calls Kirk a victim of liberal fascism

Georgian President Mikhail Kavelashvili said on Thursday, September 11, that Charlie Kirk, an American political activist and ally of US President Donald Trump, had become a victim of liberal fascism.

"The murder of Charlie Kirk is a terrible incident, which, of course, is connected with his conservative views, his criticism of pseudo-liberal ideology, his opposition to LGBT propaganda (the LGBT movement is recognized in the Russian Federation as extremist and banned. — Ed.). Kirk has become another victim of liberal fascism," Kavelashvili wrote on his Facebook page (owned by Meta, a company whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

The President added that the cynical comments of this crime by followers of pseudo-liberal ideology are even more horrifying. According to Kavelashvili, all those who persecute people with different views and impose their ideology are accomplices in the murder of Charlie Kirk.
