This comment is for Saagar, I hope he reads it. I want to say that I am sympathetic to your feeling of vulnerability in this moment, and that I hope it spurs you to think about the way that political violence, both retail and wholesale, features in your present worldview.

I am moved by your level emotion around your colleague's murder. I do want to take the opportunity to say: take a moment to reflect on the way that you feel vulnerable right now, and keep that in mind when you think about other people in our society who are vulnerable in your future news punditry. Just as you are looking over your shoulder wondering whether you'll be targeted by someone for your ideology, there are millions of people in this country who live like that every day of their lives because of their race, religion, mother language, gender identity, etc. Many of those people see a figure like Kirk as having actively stirred hatred and encouraged violence -- whether retail violence akin to Kirk's own murder or the type...

The last 3 years you've given me more to think about, ponder and have challenged my beliefs in more than any other conservative political pundit whose content I've ever consumed. I believe you approach MOST topics in good faith, and in objective reality. I don't always arrive in agreement with you but you've challenged my views and values in ways no one else has-and I am very grateful and thankful to for you for that. Bong rips for Saagar and his baby!

Saagar please don't think you and Charlie Kirk are comparable. Saagar even in moments when I disagree I have always believed you have journalistic integrity and empathy. You have always held yourself to a high and consistent moral standard. I will continue to support and look forward to hearing your thoughtful, respectful, and well-researched takes.
