The right is leveraging a murder to blame Dems. Jesse Watters is convincing Fox viewers the killer was a liberal. Based on what? The chyron says “assassin still on the loose” as he speaks. Trump dropped a video too, blaming the left with zero evidence. The goal is violence. And it’s coordinated.

For those praising Charlie Kirk, ask them if they agree with Kirk when he said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, MLK was an awful person, Palestine doesn't exist, women's place is under their husband, and that the white supremacist "replacement theory" is real. I'd love to hear the answers.

Donald Trump does not care about political violence; he cares about political violence against Republicans and his allies — as he himself made clear through who he listed in his speech. Donald Trump will not work to end political violence, either. He, instead, is already working to exploit it.

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.
