“…CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA…”

Be aware that there will likely be a plethora of email and text communications claiming to be from turning point USA, raising funds in Charlie’s name. Vet before donating.

You won’t have to wait long before some GD lunatic tries to blame this on “MAGA Republicans”.

When a sizable fraction of the population has lost it’s damn mind, this is inevitable.

And they’ll be out waving their stupid signs about kings and fascism again this weekend...

"..didn’t a few liberal state senators and wives from minn got shot too?"

By wack jobs that are liberal wack jobs themselves. One assassin was appointed to a government position by RAT Gov. Tim Walz.

So far, the left has

Shot President Trump
Shot 2 Democrats in MN that voted against the rest, killing one and her husband
Shot and killed Charlie Kirk

They are going after us and it will just get worse. The left is out for blood. They have out right said it, yet the media spins it the other way.

I feel so sad for his family. Charlie did not deserve to go out like this, nobody does.

He is Jewish and supported Israel at that time. You go against the rest and they will come after you.

Fetterman better watch out. I expect something to happen to him next.

This is our MLK moment. The circumstances are the same, they hate the message, so they shot the messenger.


I think this political murder is about the crowd that was there to see Kirk today just as much the message. He attracted and, importantly, organzied a following outside of traditional “conservative” political hobbyists and that deeply threatened the radical Democratic Party. So they killed him.

You could have at least found a Conservative Source To Post This Thread.
But then again, you seem like an AP type of News Consumer.

Please remind me of lefties and liberals that have been shot, assaulted, swatted, deplatformed, labeled on television mainstream news as nazis, tyrants, racists, homophobes, …justifying violence against them

My memory is running short

Maybe everyone on the right can go home and count all their bullets again.
Not sure what that does, but it seems to be the default response by the right to being attacked.

Two can play this game if that is the way they want it. Our effeminate congress and the entire federal government is to blame. This is COMMUNISM, plain and simple.
