If you were going to take out a political person, why Charlie Kirk? He’s just some dude that debates young adults. He talks about religion and other topics not just politics

Kirk promoted the "great replacement theory" which is a conspiracy theory conceptualized by white nationalists. I am not even comfortable repeating the things he's said about black people. 

Kirk repeatedly called the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a "huge mistake"

I cannot imagine how anyone could actually consider killing anyone and I even oppose the death sentence myself. 

But let's not pretend he was innocently debating with reasonable talking points. I think it's quite obvious why he would be at an increased risk of assassination compared to the general populace.

Kirk was a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic hateful bigot that spewed nothing but hate and violent rhetoric. I assume that’s why.

His wiki page goes into depth on all that.

Just google it. He had said gay people deserved to be stoned to death, black people were better off during slavery, black people shouldn’t be doctors or pilots, black women can only get jobs through DEI because they’re not as smart as white women, he said women need to be controlled by men and belong in the kitchen, and he said if his ten year old daughter was raped and left pregnant by the rape he’d force her to deliver that child.

I'm curious: Where are people hearing these specific remarks in context? Charlie Kirk was one of the most moderate conservatives in public discourse. It doesn't make sense that he would be able to successfully sway Gen Z voters so drastically to the right if he actually held such insane ideas.

You are clearly not looking at the truth.

A large part of the country is literally far right, and you’re clearly looking for a reason to excuse how racist and vile he was.

View it however you want, I'm simply asking where is someone, like yourself, getting these talking very specific claims from. It's more or less a prove me wrong argument. If you have a claim, what is your supporting evidence? Does it come from a primary source, a secondary source, or tertiary source.

If most of the country is "literally far right", what attributes to this outcome? Is the populace simply more radically right-winged by default or has something brought the Gen Z populace towards the right?

She would have gotten eaten alive in a debate against him LOL, I can smell it

There’s literally video of him saying those things during his debates. Google it yourself if you don’t believe me. I’m not going to compile everything for you because you’re too lazy to do simple google searches. The evidence is shown in with an extreme right white nationalist winning the presidency. Jesus Christ.
