execution: "The act or an instance of putting to death or being put to death as a lawful penalty."

Whatever he actually said (I don't know) what is the meaningful difference between "death penalty" and "execute"?

    so let’s break it down

    execution is the killing part. it may be done by 3rd parties outside of the law (ie murder), or it could be the final part of a legal proceeding that leads to the death penalty

    the death penalty is the conviction at the end of a legal proceeding

    saying someone deserves the death penalty (ie jumping right to their conviction) skips the trial and sentencing etc of a normal legal proceeding. it’s not at all the same as saying someone should be tried for treason

    he said that joe biden should be killed by the state no matter how you spin it

    Again, if you can provide me with a quote and source where Charlie Kirk said Joe Biden should be “executed,” I will change my opinion on his assassination being justified.

    No you won't. You'll just argue semantics like your dead nazi hero.

    I think you mean "received a death penalty for his actions" instead of "assassination".
