“The murder of Charlie Kirk brings out some of the best in humanity, and it also postpones some of the worst,” he wrote at X in response to a statement from the President of Oxford Union last month. “Association, love, support and screams on his behalf all over the world are heartwarming.
“The number of people supporting Tyler Robinson’s shaking behavior has opened my eyes to a side of extremism with a moral superiority complex that has also shaken my belief in people in general. I hope they are held responsible for their disgusting rhetoric.”
Mickelson also shared a post with one of Kirk’s debates. The lecture with another student contained Kirk who closed a man in university and his “hatred” for billionaires as president Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

“His ability to use words and his intellect to win debates is what scared them,” Mickelson wrote.
Mickelson also aimed at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-minn., After the controversial Convention of Convention offended Kirk and his inheritance in a CNN interview.
During the interview at CNN, Omar addressed Her recent social media posts, in which she called Kirk “Dr. Frankenstein,” doubled these comments and said that his heritage should be left in “the trash of history.”
“What I find shuddering is that there are so many people who are willing to apologize for the most reprehensible things he said they agree that they are willing to have monuments to him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce decisions in the house of Congress that honor his life and inheritance,” Omar said.
“I don’t want to sit here and be convicted of not wanting to honor any inheritance, this man has left, it should be in the trash of history, and hopefully we should go ahead and forget the hatred that he spearned every single day.”
