Left Cancels Ezra Klein for Claiming 'Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way'
Newsbusters ^ | September 12, 2025 | P.J. Gladnick

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein appears to have been angrily canceled by many of his fellow leftists and Democrats. His thought crime? He expressed sympathy for Charlie Kirk in the wake of his brutal assassination.

The very title of his Thursday opinion piece acted like red meat to the increasingly deranged left: "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way." And if this did not inflame the haters enough, some of Klein's words sent them over the intolerant edge:

Time for Ezra Klein to consider a career change since his fellow leftists have now REJECTED him.

Plenty of work on the side of liberty for people unafraid to speak the truth, Ezra. You won’t miss a beat. Welcome to the party, pal.

The unhinged responses to Klein’s reasonable (for a lefty) column unwittingly proves his point.

They truly are eating their own.

I gotta tell you guys, I have never seen so many left leaning people truly disgusted with their side. I am surprised at how many are turning away from their side. I hope we can look back and say this was the beginning of the end for the left.

“Welcome to being cancelled by your own fellow leftists, Ezra. Maybe this will be an opportunity to rethink your entire world view.”

One of the toughest thing to do - either for yourself or others. i

Ezra Klein has been thoughtful before - this isn't the first time. I'm surprised a biased hateful paper like the New York Times hasn't fired him already...

Democrats are extremely tolerant of everyone they agree with.

One solid lesson from history is the left never gets finished or ended. They suffer setbacks, regroup, and find new ways to attack all that is good.

It’s nice to see the pendulum swinging toward light, truth and goodness.

I agree. The Left is showing it’s true colors and they are ugly colors. Normal, decent and good people lo not like what they’re seeing.

The Left is disintegrating and it’s self-inflicted.

The problem is the Left still has a stranglehold on the Democratic Party. How can they be marginalized?

Yes. The cognitive dissonance must be deafening.

The DemonRAT Party of Death, Destruction and Doom, making death threats, assigning assassins, orchestrating school shootings, dropping “F” bombs on TV, throwing Molotov cocktails, beating up elderly old ladies and men, burning cars to cause pollution, burning car dealership to cause even more pollution, looting and burning down Walmarts, and butchering “young white girls” riding on a train as the proper way to do politics. May they all burn in hell.
