During Couric&#8217;s podcast,Fetterman refused to engage in negative commentary about Kirk,rather expressing condolences over Kirk&#8217;s murder and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/public-colleges-push-dei-in-freshman-orientation-over-free-speech-report\/\" title=\"Public Colleges Push DEI In Freshman Orientation Over Free Speech: Report\">emphasizing free speech<\/a>,despite not being familiar with kirk&#8217;s specific views. Couric&#8217;s persistent insinuations are portrayed as malicious and reflective of a broader liberal hostility toward Kirk, frequently enough based on misinformation. The piece praises Fetterman for his restraint and honesty, highlights the hypocrisy among some liberals who criticize Kirk without understanding him, and underscores the ongoing political polarization surrounding Kirk&#8217;s legacy. Turning Point USA publicly thanked Fetterman for his respectful stance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes liberals exhibit qualities proving that we, as conservatives, have underrated their repulsiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Longtime establishment journalist (read: propagandist) Katie Couric falls into that category.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, when Couric tried coaxing Democratic Sen.

she said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Someone like Charlie Kirk<\/em>. What a reptilian way to slander a murder victim and America&rsquo;s most popular young Christian.<\/p>\n<p>To his credit, Fetterman called it &ldquo;his prerogative&rdquo; and &ldquo;entirely up to him.&rdquo; By that, he presumably meant Trump, who posthumously awarded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-ordered-unique-changes-charlie-kirks-presidential-medal-freedom-final-versions-glorifies-jesus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kirk<\/a> the Presidential Medal of Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>But Couric pressed the senator.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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?&rdquo; she asked.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t agree with much of it,&rdquo; Fetterman replied before following up with a caveat. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t closely follow his specific kinds of views.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Couric then asked her own ironic follow-up question.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure you learned about them after his death, though,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;No,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-even-cnns-dana-bash-left-wincing-fetterman-graphically-describes-hate-messages-gets-left\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fetterman<\/a> replied. &ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t done a deep dive on it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Bravo, senator! You admitted that you have not looked into Kirk&rsquo;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.<\/p>\n<p>After all, former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/veteran-journalist-calls-obamas-charlie-kirk-comments-nothing-short-stunning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barack Obama<\/a> slandered Kirk.

So why shouldn&rsquo;t Couric?<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Fetterman proceeded to lament Kirk&rsquo;s public execution, thereby keeping attention properly focused on murder, not the victim&rsquo;s distorted words.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Couric would not relent.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think some people might say Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s rhetoric was extreme,&rdquo; the repellent pseudo-journalist said.<\/p>\n<p>Again, Fetterman refused to validate Couric&rsquo;s sick views, describing himself as &ldquo;an absolute free speech guy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Readers may watch the entire interview in the YouTube video below. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-john-fetterman-turns-tables-sunny-hostin-tries-shame-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fetterman<\/a> spoke about Trump around the 42:00 mark before turning his attention to Kirk.
