Charlie Kirk used new media to devastating effect in his mission to mobilise young people for his conservative movement. He understood the power of a viral moment to cut through a complex argument and the great appetite for proper debate, just two of many things we all love about our digital culture.
There’s plenty of things many of us find repellent, too, such as witch hunts, vile smears we’d not dream of using in real life, and rage baiting.
Many prominent figures on the right have accused former CNN anchor Don Lemon of doing exactly that this week, ironically for making the very same claim about them.
He speaks to Piers Morgan - but first, Uncensored welcomes Steven Crowder, who recently found himself in hot water over his comments related to Kirk, and former Republican congressman and presenter of The Social Contract, Joe Walsh.
