Charlie could have been run over by a monster truck with TRUMP painted on the side with a fuck your feelings flag and the driver could have worn a maga hat and cut off sleeves shirt and the right would still try to connect it to LGBTQ+.

Literally the first thing they said before anyone even figured out where the shot came from.
An tee fuh
Not going to. This was all predicted by people smarter than I, during the first Trump admin.
MAGAt gets primed for violence for years. MAGAt figures out he's been lied to all along. MAGAt uses that penchant for violence on the scum that has been lying to him. The only difference is that people assumed politicians would be the target.
1.) His steam acct name was apparently DonaldTrump, no progressive or liberal is going to want to be associated with that, even ironically.
2.) If you didn't vote in '22 or '24 & you were legally able, you're not a progressive or liberal, full stop.

The officials also voiced that it would be difficult to bring federal charges against Robinson, as Robinson allegedly committed the crime in Utah and is a resident of the Beehive State. Furthermore, Kirk was an influencer activist, and not an elected official.

Exactly. Not an assassination. I hate that people keep calling it that.
When a Nazi gets killed it's called 'a good job'
Well, until they're out of power you should ideally call it nothing at all and deny it ever happened. I walked past the USC campus this morning and saw kirk alive and well. I don't know what all this hubub is about.
Fascinating. Flip the script for the utter disregard of the truth.
If you see someone stealing bread–no you didn't.
If you see a dead Nazi–no you didn't and in fact you met him in public later that evening.

I've never heard being elected official as a criteria for the term, the dictionary definition of assassination is
"the premeditated act of killing someone suddenly or secretively, especially a prominent person."
And there have been plenty of non-electoral assassinations, including those by (or of) mob figures, journalists, and many others.

It’s still an assassination. The definition is broad enough to include the killing of any public figure by surprise attack.

I thought they just skipped that step and hoped nobody noticed?
Charlie Kirk is STILL ALIVE! These are Just Crisis ACTORS! DONT let these CriSIs Actors STEAL your freedoms!
Alex Jones can swallow a bunch of draino.
Have you seen what he looks like? Jones chugs that shit like I chug gamersupps.
Yeah the assassination was just a psyops.

I love how any time someone clearly has ties to the right-wing they're a "troubled individual."
I haven't encountered many right-wingers who weren't "troubled individuals".
Or at least individuals with very troubling opinions and beliefs.
Well they canceled Jimmy Kimmel for pointing out this very thing, then put on their other face and said they’re going after “hate speech”…. Right after the president tried ramping up the hate and saying it was the lefts fault. So I guess if they’re taking “hate speech” so seriously they need to take a good loooong look at themselves in the mirror
This sounds just as ridiculous as "Accountants can't make $2 + $2 = $1 trillion like MAGA wants."
Dear MAGAts, you killed Charlie Kirk.
You mean they can't publicly make shit up to fit the narrative
What we saw in the Epstein debacle was their best….
Its no fun when you can't make a lie stick. For people that really believe you make the truth it must sting when you find out you cant.
Can they even make the narrative stick that it was a 30-06? People need to be looking into that more. A 30-06 is a gun meant to take down an Elk or a Grizzly Bear. I don't think the video we saw lines up with the 30-06 narrative.
That they keep trying instead of finding the relationship that do exist says everything you need to know to oppose everything they do.
Finally a headline that tells the truth.
Yes they can, and they will find a way lol
Its called making shit up.
They already do. He was living with a trans person so clearly was infected by violent trans terrorism. Whatever that means.
Who is trump going to fire over this?
I'm sure they'll all be fired soon.
If we assume this random YouTube man is credible, and I see no reason to doubt him, the DOJ can't even tie suspected Kirk killer to the actual killing of Charlie Kirk.
