CBS platforms last person to ask Charlie Kirk a question—he demands Erika condemn Trump’s rhetoric

Kozak did not take the opportunity to offer condolences, instead he demanded that Kirk condemn President Donald Trump for things he has said since her husband's public killing.

"Erika," Weiss began, introducing the last man to speak to her husband before his death, "the last person that Charlie ever spoke to was a Utah Valley University student named Hunter Kozak. He was asking Charlie a question that day when he was shot. And he's here tonight and he wants to ask you a question."

Kozak took to the podium and demanded that Erika condemn Trump's rhetoric. "Hi, there, Erika, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your calls for peace and unity, and I'm likewise horrified by the people in my so called camp who were cheering about Charlie's murder. I believe that they stoke the flames of violence," he said. Kozak is a leftist.

"But even worse is when powerful, influential people on either side of the aisle stoke the flames. When they do it, the flames can become an inferno, and this leads me to Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on earth who has more responsibility than anyone else to put the flames out. Just last month, President Trump called on six Democratic lawmakers to be tried for sedition, which he clarified was punishable by death. He then reposted a simple message, hang them," Kozak said.

He did not mention that these lawmakers, all former military or CIA, had put out a video demanding that members of the US Armed Forces disobey so-called unlawful orders or that upon questioning none of them could identify any orders that they knew of that they believed were unlawful. Instead, Kozak then put pressure on Kirk to denounce the President.

"I think that you've been making strides to bring peace to our country," Kozak said, "and that turning point has been asking Democrats to decry the individuals who cheer for violence. I have and will continue to decry them, but any good faith effort to stop political violence must hold both parties to the same standard and expectation. So in that spirit, will you condemn the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on earth?"

"I appreciate your question," Kirk said, exhibiting her trademark grace. "You know my heart. Why would I ever say, 'yes, go murder people'? This is so much deeper than just one— I understand your sentiment. I do, but this is also so much deeper than just one person.

"This starts at the home, okay?" She said. "This starts with family. This starts with a seed that grows and grows. You can choose to have evil in your heart, or you can choose to have light, what you consume and what you absorb from the outside world will manifest itself.

"No, I will never agree with political violence," Kirk said. "My husband is a victim of it. I'm a victim of it. But what I'm trying to say here is that we can blame everyone else. We have to look in the mirror. When you become a father, when you become a mother, how are you raising your kids? Are you taking responsibility, or are you giving them a device and saying, 'go down that rabbit hole. I'm trying to go to Pilates class, you can just sit in the corner and look at your iPad or look at your phone and go down that rabbit hole and see what you can learn from that,' instead of being a parent. So my call to action from that is parents step up. Do you want your kid to be a thought leader or an assassin? That's where we're at."

Weiss jumped aboard Kozak's question, trying to elicit a different response. "Do you think our political leaders have a responsibility to turn the temperature down right now?" She asked.

"Well I think everybody has a responsibility to do that," Kirk said. "I'm doing my part. I'm not in control of other people."

"Hey Charlie," Kozak said to Kirk on that sunny Wednesday in Utah, "hopefully we're going to have a little more disagreement." He referenced a previous time when he'd asked Kirk a question at a campus event. "A few weeks ago there was a transgender mass shooter and ever since then, a few weeks later, the Tump DOJ said that we should start talking about revoking gun rights for transgender Americans."

The crowd cheered as the assassin lined up his shot from a nearby rooftop and took aim at Kirk's head. Suspect Tyler Robinson was in a gay, romantic relationship with a transgender person who was allegedly taking black market hormone replacement therapy to be appear as a woman.

"So do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?" Kozak asked.

Kirk lifted his mic from the table and said "too many" before putting it back down to allow Kozak to continue.

"It's five," Kozak said, answering his own question. Okay now five is a lot. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?"

"Counting or not counting gang violence?" Kirk asked Kozak.

"Great," Kozak said.

Then a shot rang out.
