The person who was asking the question when Kirk was shot, Hunter Kozak, said "I couldn’t have asked a worse question". That's an interesting perspective because Kozak was making a good point which Kirk was dodging. He was pointing out that leftists and specifically trans people are a small proportion of shooters, even less than you would statistically expect all things being equal. Hunter now faces likely stalking or harassment campaigns, and needing to apologize for having asked a good question. That's a rarely discussed downside of legitimizing fascist rhetoric with debate, you will be blamed for being nearby and making them look bad, when you are simply engaging with reality.
