A survivor of Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty penned an open letter slamming Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for “insult[ing]” survivors of the June 8, 1967 attack as “conspiracy theorists” during a Q&A session last week.
The USS Liberty Veterans Association shared USS Liberty survivor Joe Meadors’ letter Tuesday on Twitter:
Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk Insults USS Liberty Survivors; His Audience AgreesI don’t know anything about Charlie Kirk or Turning Point USA other than what I read on the internet. He founded a group that claims to advocate policies associated with the conservative side of the political spectrum.I hope others in his organization or who share his political dogma don’t share his public disdain for American servicemen whose only crime is to be victims of Israeli War Crimes.Are we overreaching to hope the people in his circle will publicly disavow Mr. Kirk’s position? From the reaction of his audience, we definitely are.Like us, he readily takes advantage of the rights guaranteed in the First Amendment to the Constitution.Unlike us, he doesn’t accept responsibility for what he says.Nor does he accept responsibility for the damage done to those who are affected by his words.............https://www.activistpost.com/2019/10/uss-liberty-survivor-slams-charlie-kirk-for-insulting-survivors-as-conspiracy-theorists.html
