Yes, but they had people half convinced they knew who the shooter was and all his political beliefs before he was ever identified. So they won't allow to allow facts to get in the way of their good story.

The supposedly Christian Right's response to the violence that took Charlie Kirk (a violence they claim is abhorrent) is to call for greater violence against—well, everyone who doesn't align with them politically and theologically, apparently.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.
