Charlie Kirk’s murder sparked peaceful resolve, not riots—sharply contrasting the violence, destruction, and radical agendas unleashed after George Floyd’s death.
Just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the left is working overtime to hide the truth and create fantasies about his death.
Specifically, leftists alleged that conservatives were going to “pounce” on the death to wage protests and boost radical agendas in the manner of what followed George Floyd’s death.
Here are some of the lies that such a ridiculous narrative entails.
One, Charlie Kirk is not conservatives’ George Floyd. There were no mass riots after his death of the sort that followed Floyd’s demise.
Floyd’s death was used by the left to justify five months of rioting, arson, murder, looting, and attacking police officers.
The postmortem respect for Kirk’s singular life was not characterized by $2 billion in property damage, the torching of a police precinct, a federal courthouse, and an iconic church, 35 deaths, and 1,500 injured law-enforcement officers.
Instead, thousands of people peacefully joined his Turning Point USA organization and promised to redirect their lives toward peaceful political engagement.
Two, after Kirk’s death, no prominent Republican or conservative is encouraging ongoing mass (and often violent) protests in the manner of high-profile leftists like Kamala Harris.
She blurted out on national television in June 2020, “But they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up—and they should not. And we should not.”

If there had been even one conservative riot, the MSM would not be falling all over themselves to say it was “Mostly Peaceful™ “.
VDH ping
I think I know the difference between the two. Charlie was assassinated for talking to students. Saint Floyd died because he swallowed a mountain of drugs.
But... it could very well have been yet another “The Catcher In The Rye” moment... historically have been few.
Yes. Free Derek Chauvin! He didn’t get a fair trial. BLM intimidated the jury with the threat of more violence.
I’d like to see VDH take apart Obama’s latest lie that he didn’t promote hate from the WH like Trump. Obama might as well climbed up on the roof and shot Charlie himself.
Maxine Waters and Al Sharpton were in front of the courthouse saying any juror that voted to acquit should have his house burned down. Not too many people would have the courage to vote not guilty with a mob outside like that.
Witnesses were threatened. Nobody dared to tell the truth.
Witnesses were threatened. Nobody dared to tell the truth.
Why have these people, including Harris, not been arrested and charged with inciting violence and murder? If they ever come to power again, the nation will fall to a dictatorship lead by them or a form of communism.
"Why is the left fabricating the circumstances surrounding and following Kirk’s murder?"
We all know the answer: Because lying is what they do best.
Floyd was Black an unequal
Kirk was his superior
Kamala lead the charge to raise millions of dollars to bail out anyone who was arrested. No mention of that ever during the campaign.
Is that because he was white?
Yes, it is “mostly peaceful”.
But do not forget.
There are violent outbursts of lefties against Charlie’s memorials though.
So, yes, there is some violence, provided by the usual suspects.
“Not a George Floyd Moment”
No shirt, Shylock. There weren’t any riots, no stores were looted, and the REAL perpetrator was run to ground just hours after the deed.
We have never heard a muttering word about who supplied George Floyd with the fentanyl pills, the real cause of death.
When these people threaten you, take them seriously.
“Your honor, he said he was going to kill me for my political views. I believed him, and shot him in self defense.”
BLM should be treated like antifa.
But as a rule, conservatives don't riot. They don't burn things down and shout in the streets, loot stores, flip police cars, etc., etc..
Instead they develop an iron resolve, and they organize, and they take action. This public murder has galvanized the base like I've never seen before.
No, the difference isn't the event. It's the people.
“No, the difference isn’t the event. It’s the people.”
Oh, yeah.
Blue eyed ice devils, Farrakhan calls us.
