I must be the only person who had never heard of him. Mind you I pay little attention to these moronic foreign Yanks. Even more so, I can't stand so-called "influencers" (talk about an Orwellian term btw). Imagine being a sheep whose worldview is "influenced" from these attention-seeking money-grubby grifters with no qualifications nor expertise in anything 
.
Anyway, I see this guy was your typical evangelical religious nutjob you get in America. Another hypocrite who dressed up his political conservatism and culture war crap as "Christianity" (I must have missed where in the Bible it says Je-sus was a political conservative who loved guns and hated people who were born different 
).
Anyway, this little 'gem' of his stood out:
"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.
Ironic.
Now, should someone be targeted and murdered, of course not. It's evil, barbaric, and ultimately self-destructive as it becomes tit-for-tat violence with reprisal after reprisal. Just a form of gangster culture. But this overtly toxic American culture enables such evil acts and does nothing to reduce them let alone prevent them. And when you have these grifters promoting and exploiting this deranged BS for political fame and profit, it's hard to have sympathy when they end up a victim of it. Stupid Yankee idiots!
Thankfully, we Aussies rejected such foreign toxic cultural war crap in large numbers at the last election. Helps that we don't have this idiotic gun culture and further to that we're approaching a majority who are non-religious, so we aren't so gullible. Which begs the question as to why this guy is being made such a big deal of here in Australia's media when he had nothing to do with Australia. Our pathetic out of touch media pandering once again to the tiny minority fringe .
You're wrong on this one MT.
I would encourage you to just listen to him and not what one side has said what he has said.
Listen to one of his prove me wrong college campus talks.
He asked questions and wanted dissenting opinions to be heard and engaged with.
He didn't "hate" or preach hate.
As Christians we are called to love our enemies and pray for them. You might not like Christian's and think it's ridiculous to believe in a sky daddy but should we label you as a hate monger of "Christians" because you don't like what we believe?
I don't think one should be labeled as a hater or nazi or racist just because there is an opposing view.
One thing that Charlie shouldn't be accused of is a hypocrit. He lived as a Christian man, father and a husband. He practiced what he preached and hasn't ever been in trouble with the law.
He dropped out of college and started turning point USA and wanted to encourage dialogue. The colleges in the USA are very left leaning and progressive. He was willing to go there and bring a table and ask questions and foster discussion. He wasn't great when he started and he didn't have the microphones and cameras he did when he grew in popularity.
He never preached hate. He fostered dialogue and encouraged anyone with an opposite view to speak first.
Why don't you spend some time and listen to one full change my mind gigs he did on those college campuses. Some are more than an hour long and just listen.
Anyone can rip off sound bites on any side of politics.
Cenk Uygur from the Young Turks a very progressive political show had very kind words to say about Charlie and politically they didn't agree on almost anything.
I think your way off on this and if you've never heard of him or heard him maybe making comments probably wasn't your best decision.
