“Not all of us are going to agree, but we can agree to disagree,” said (Bastrop County Commissioner David) Glass. “I absolutely don’t agree with everything Charlie Kirk said.”

Take that to mean he agrees with at least some of what Kirk said and is leaving open the possibility that they might be some of the more egregious things Kirk is known for. Glass can't be straightforward, though, because MAGA idiots have a habit of shooting people who aren't MAGA enough for their tastes.
