On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” CNN Political Commentator Van Jones talked about how, just before his murder, Charlie Kirk reached out to him for a “respectful conversation” where they could disagree “agreeably.” And Kirk “was not for censorship. He was not for civil war. He was not for violence. He was for dialogue, open debate and dialogue, even with me.”
Jones said, “We were beefing. We were going at it online, on air. And then, after he died, after he was murdered, my team called and said, Van, he was trying to reach you, man… And what was he doing? Dialogue, let’s be gentlemen together. He says, ‘Let’s disagree agreeably.’ So I’m sitting on this, and I’m watching the whole country talk about civil war, censorship, justifying murder about this guy? This guy is reaching out to his mortal enemy, saying, ‘We need to be gentlemen and sit down together and disagree agreeably.’”
He added, “We disagreed. Everybody knows, we were not friends, okay, at all. But you praise the good when it’s time to memorialize somebody. And what he did — and I didn’t even know it — was good. He was not for censorship. He was not for civil war. He was not for violence. He was for dialogue, open debate and dialogue, even with me.”
