No he didnt. He did some pretty horrible shit, but he wasnt a white supremist. He didnt tell anyone to harass trans people or people of colour. No one is whitewashing anything, youre just finding out that most of the shit said about him wasnt true, or at best exaggerated.
Was he your friend? No. Was he a good guy that championed free speech? Again, no. But he wasnt most of what the clickbait headlines you all consumed said he was either. It took me seconds to just google the guy, and find out the truth. Thats how easy it was. I didnt know anything about Kirk before last week.
