Walter Hudson, a public figure and commentator, posted a series of tweets on September 22, 2025, addressing political discourse and the legacy of Charlie Kirk. In his first post at 12:14 UTC, Hudson responded to an unspecified comment by stating, "Actually, it was everything you describe AND honoring Charlie Kirk, exactly as he would have wanted it.

...

Your point?"

Later that morning at 12:39 UTC, Hudson reflected on political communication in American culture. He wrote, "There's this political axiom that 'explaining is losing.'

And that may be true.

At 13:06 UTC the same day, Hudson concluded with a brief message indicating further commentary to come: "More on this later. https://t.co/cKwoqEKwW0"

Charlie Kirk is known as a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA. The phrase "explaining is losing" is commonly referenced in U.S. political strategy discussions and reflects concerns about how detailed explanations can be perceived as defensive or unpersuasive by the public.
