Alternative viewpoints, such as the political climate surrounding Charlie Kirk's death and the reactions from different parties, are also not considered ^{[4] [5]}.

The original statement may be misleading or biased as it implies that Charlie Kirk faced backlash from his own party for a comment, which is not supported by the analyses ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]}. The sources suggest that the backlash is more related to comments made about Charlie Kirk's death, rather than comments made by him ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
