Five days after Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a Utah university, his YouTube channel began a live broadcast.

Clips of the conservative activist's commentary were spliced into a montage of photos taken at political events.

"Disagreement is not just welcome, it is invited. We want to have those tough conversations — that's what it's all about," Mr Kirk said in one video. 

But for onlookers from both sides of the aisle, the remainder of the stream took an opposite turn, going after free speech.

 

Throughout the two-hour stream, the vice-president alluded to shutting "soulless and evil" propaganda he claims is being spread by liberal political opponents.

The government's solution, the vice-president revealed, would be a broad crack down on liberal groups.

It's one thing when a private organization bans free speech and quite another when the government does it. The former practice does not violate the First Amendment, whereas the latter does.

This doesn't mean that I endorse private censorship, but it's not a violation of the law.
