Community Members Confront City Council Over Social Media Posts Mocking Charlie Kirk's Assassination

[00:00] Hi, my name is Paige. Honestly, it feels

[00:02] like there's no point in trying to

[00:03] reason with people who are so soulless

[00:06] and so far gone that they openly mock

[00:08] the tragic assassination of someone that

[00:10] they don't agree with. But the two city

[00:12] council members who did just that need

[00:14] to be publicly shamed and know that this

[00:16] type of behavior will not be accepted in

[00:18] this country. But, you know, one of the

[00:20] best parts of social media is that it

[00:21] shows you who people really are. and

[00:23] hatefilled leftists can't help but to

[00:25] post every thought they have online,

[00:27] exposing how they truly feel about

[00:28] people who don't agree with them.

[00:30] Councilwoman Beck quickly took to

[00:31] Instagram after it was announced Charlie

[00:33] Kirk had been shot and posted

[00:35] unfortunate with an outofcontext quote

[00:37] from Charlie Kirk about the Second

[00:39] Amendment on her story, making it clear

[00:41] that if you support the Second Amendment

[00:43] and are tragically killed by a mentally

[00:45] ill man with a transgender boyfriend,

[00:47] that you deserved what happened to you.

[00:49] Does that sound like an elected official

[00:50] you'd be comfortable with having power

[00:52] to make laws?

[00:54] Beck also allegedly went after the

[00:55] volleyball coach and athletic

[00:57] coordinator at her daughter's high

[00:58] school because her daughter did not make

[01:00] the volleyball team due to missing

[01:01] tryyous. She also allegedly called the

[01:03] volleyball coach a white skinny dumb

[01:05] Are you starting to see how these

[01:08] people operate? They will call you names

[01:10] such as racist, bigot, white supremacist

[01:12] even if you don't give them their way.

[01:15] Now, I'm going to read some quotes from

[01:16] the emails Mr. Nettles wrote because he

[01:19] was mad that the flags were ordered at

[01:20] half staff. But let me just say

[01:22] honestly, you need to pick up a

[01:23] dictionary. You're an elected official

[01:25] and can't even use proper grammar. But

[01:27] anyway, Mr. Nettles first tried to say

[01:29] Charlie was racist and sexist. Then also

[01:31] wrote, quote, "Times have dramatically

[01:34] changed as well as Council. Sorry.

[01:38] It sent a bad message when we're not

[01:40] informed about the flags. It was like

[01:42] having a stroke trying to read what was

[01:44] said in those emails." But you know

[01:46] what, Councilman Nettles, you're right.

[01:47] Times have changed. The times of people

[01:49] like you who actually spread hate and

[01:51] division and bully those who don't agree

[01:52] with you will no longer be calling the

[01:54] shots. And interestingly enough,

[01:56] Councilman Nettles is a pastor and owns

[01:58] a daycare center. Once again, does this

[02:00] sound like a person you should trust,

[02:02] especially with your children or

[02:03] teaching in a church. Both of you should

[02:05] be ashamed of your actions and should

[02:06] not hold an elected position. Thank you.

[02:09] >> Our next speaker is Brian Sprag,

[02:11] followed by Adrienne Smith. It was

[02:14] >> Tina, please.

[02:16] >> No interaction. It's It's fine. I'm just

[02:18] I'm just asking for no interaction.

[02:20] >> Thank you.

[02:24] >> Tina, please. Last warning, just try to

[02:27] be quiet during

[02:28] >> Did you tell her to be quiet?

[02:29] >> I did. She's leaving. Do you want to

[02:30] leave or you want to stay? I'm asking

[02:32] nicely. Your choice.

[02:34] >> I know.

[02:34] >> There's been plenty of commentary for

[02:35] the evening.

[02:36] >> It has.

[02:37] >> Okay. So, my name is uh Jimmy and uh in

[02:41] 2016 I met a young woman named Erica

[02:44] France. We became friends because we had

[02:47] similar passions in international

[02:49] mission work um as she worked directly

[02:51] with orphanages in Romania and I did

[02:53] mission work in Hun Honduras. And that

[02:56] woman would go on to become Erica Kirk

[02:58] as she married Charlie Kirk and had two

[03:01] beautiful children. And I say this

[03:03] because I'm a husband and a father. And

[03:06] um

[03:08] and uh I can't imagine the pain my

[03:10] friend Erica has felt over the past two

[03:12] weeks. She had her spouse's execution

[03:16] broadcast on the internet and now her

[03:18] kids have to grow up without their dad.

[03:21] And uh and I just can't stop thinking

[03:23] about Erica's first public statement

[03:25] where she described a three-year-old

[03:27] asking where her dad is. And it just it

[03:30] just wrecked me. And obviously everyone

[03:33] knows Councilwoman Beck saw that and and

[03:36] made a a post mocking Charlie. And I

[03:42] just I just don't get it. This is not a

[03:44] random Twitter troll. This is an elected

[03:46] leader whose salaries paid with our tax

[03:48] dollars. And and I'm not angry. I'm just

[03:51] I'm just genuinely sad. I'm I'm sad for

[03:54] this country.

[03:55] And I'm I'm sad for you, Councilwoman

[03:58] Beck.

[03:59] [Music]

[04:02] If someone's reaction to Charlie Kirk's

[04:04] assassination is to dunk on social

[04:06] media, like you have anger in your heart

[04:09] that I can't comprehend. And that's just

[04:11] really sad. So, if my friend Erica can

[04:13] forgive Charlie's murderer, then I can

[04:15] certainly forgive Councilwoman Beck. But

[04:18] the reaction by so many people in this

[04:20] country shows there is there's a

[04:21] sickness in this nation and we need

[04:24] healing.

[04:25] And I know some people will disagree

[04:27] with this, but I'm a Christian and I

[04:29] think this healing can only come through

[04:31] Christ. But whether you agree with that

[04:33] or not, I think everyone can agree

[04:34] something's deeply wrong with our

[04:36] country.

[04:38] And um

[04:40] and I know Councilwoman Beck took down

[04:42] the social media post. I haven't heard

[04:44] any statements since. I don't know where

[04:45] she stands. Um and I genuinely mean

[04:48] this. You're welcome at my church

[04:50] anytime

[04:52] because I'm a sinner in need of a savior

[04:54] just like everyone here. And I pray for

[04:57] the hearts of all our leaders because

[04:58] it's a really it's a really dark time in

[05:01] our nation. And um and I'm here for my

[05:04] friend Erica and I pray for her family.

[05:09] And that's all I have to say. Thank you.
