Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a terrorist attack meant to discourage the conservative movement. Even before authorities had suspected sniper Tyler Robinson in custody, we knew it was likely the work of a radicalized mind brainwashed by far-left extremist rhetoric so vile that he thought it was okay to kill someone.
Where does this radicalization come from? Follow the money.
Conservative Mike Cernovich was correct in his Wednesday X post calling for a congressional investigation into the funding of far-left extremism. Our political climate is not an accident. Provocative leftist ideologies pushed with guerrilla marketing are used to manipulate weak minds. Influence always costs money when the message is not pure enough to resonate with people on its own.
For example, who funds the Southern Poverty Law Center that, as The Federalist’s Sean Davis pointed out, put a target on Turning Point USA, which Kirk founded and led? SPLC connected Turning Point to “white supremacy,” and warned it would “destroy our foundational democratic principles and institutions.” Tax filings show SPLC received $339 million in 2023.
Congress should dig into nonprofit foundations like the Soros family’s $5.2 billion Open Society Foundation, which funds other nonprofits pushing for all-access abortion, open borders, LGBT rights, and aggressive activist groups like Black Lives Matter. These groups funnel money to Democrat and socialist candidates.
With enough financial support and candidate campaigning, culture-changing ideas take root, and we end up with House Democrats who protest taking a moment to pray for Kirk after his assassination. In the old days, a politician would care about the optics of refusing to pray for a shooting victim. Now they shout “No!” It shows how much U.S. culture has shifted.

Danger, Will Robinson!
I remember after the killing of JFK in 1963 and Bobby Kennedy in 1968, America came together.
When Reagan was wounded in 1981 I heard people say. “Da*n! WE’LL GET HIM NEXT TIME!”
What happened to the USA between 1963, 1968 and 1981?
Yeah, that’s going to work. The Progs will be glad to help.
They need to start at the root...the Faculty Room of every College, University and High School in America.
Until THAT mess is cleaned up, the rest will continue to fester and metastasize.
Not just Congress - but state legislatures as well. Much of academia is state funded. Entities which continue to have curriculums and staff that “teach” this poison must be fully defunded.
If that means we lose our favorite sports teams, so be it. Not willing to have total cultural rot to keep watching college football or basketball.

Spot on
Teachers Unions??
This is war and they are killing us and celebrating it.
Not CONGRESS but law enforcement !
If America is under attack, why not retaliate with the full force of the American military, technology, and financial machines in a manner that involves the use of all 3 entities at once.
It’s Hammer Time!!
They should, but they won’t. Most congresscritters have linguine spines, and the only thing that motivates them is getting reelected.
Cut funding? Congress?
So, he is saying we should use public money to root out the funding of their political enemies?
Maybe the right could spend a couple of dollars on a digital marketing class or two and figure out how to counter the left.
The government should not be hunting down anyone for political thought.
Immigration act of 1965 and the country was less Christian by the 80s too.
Our Congress? What a joke. The RATs won’t do it. Who does that leave? Repugnants? The Uniparty pimps? That’s a joke.
Congress passed the funding.
DOGE was rooting it out for clawback.
Congress needs to be held to account for passing bills that they don’t read.
