Angela Denker is a Lutheran minister in Minnesota. Until she wrote an op-ed piece following Charlie Kirk's death that Minneapolis Star Tribune refused to publish, she was on contract to write for that outlet.

Analysis:

* Anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity;

* Extremism on migration, race, gender;

* Hostility to those holding traditional values of family, religion, morality.

Free speech is gone.
