The admissions in the article about Kirk’s Zionism and funding acknowledge complaints and concerns critical thinkers might have had about his record. The anonymous source claims — that he rejected a funding offer, that he had, behind closed doors, warned Trump not to bomb Iran, that he despised Netanyahu as a “bully”, and that he was afraid of Israel — put a spin on the facts above that paints Kirk in a good light to those who would have disliked him or been indifferent to his death. The point I’m making is: I don’t believe the source. This is all narrative weaving based on nothing.
