From ‘Kirk is full of hate’ to ‘Hey, fascist! Catch [this bullet]!’ – Who is [alleged Charlie Kirk assassin] Tyler Robinson?
Euronews, 9/13/25
The day before Kirk’s assassination, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy [said] “Our only chance to save our democracy is to fight fire with fire right now … We’re in a war right to save this country, and so you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary to save the country [all emphasis added].” Someone took up arms for that supposed war and [answered] Charlie Kirk’s words with bullets.
Erick Erickson, 9/13/25
When an entire political party and its media enablers compare Trump to Hitler and suggest he and his voters are an “existential threat” to democracy, we can imagine someone would want to be a hero and remove the “existential threat.” … The rhetoric from the Democrat/socialist side sounds like encouragement of violence. Worse than the encouraging was the celebrating—the vicious people dancing in TikTok videos or celebrating on Bluesky about Kirk being “in Hell [after the assassination].”
Tim Graham, 9/13/25
Charlie Kirk died, as so often seems to happen to the greats, doing what he loved: modelling civil discourse in the public battle of ideas. The living embodiment of the First Amendment in his tragically truncated life, Charlie died as a (literal) martyr for free speech. He was murdered one day after the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression released a discomfiting survey showing that one-third of university students believe violence is an appropriate response to speech [emphasis added]. The celebratory reaction to Charlie’s assassination across swaths of left-wing social media was also positively chilling.

Ghouls Argue Charlie Kirk Had It Coming: After [Kirk was assassinated and martyred …, many Americans today seem to be litigating whether he deserved to be [killed]. … How do you talk with people who want you dead? The increasingly ghoulish Left celebrates murders like Charlie’s. Murders like UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s in December. Attempted assassinations like Donald Trump’s last July. To go on social media right now is to enter a disgusting cesspool of vitriolic hatred toward Kirk and everyone associated with him. [R]abid leftists… are laughing, cheering, or celebrating the murder of a loving husband and father of two young children.… Leftists call him a “casualty of the violence he incited.”
Nate Jackson, 9/12/25
Leftists blithely claim that “both sides” behave this way. Nonsense. That’s like saying that “both vehicles” use gasoline. One is an 18-wheel truck, and the other is a Volkswagen Jetta. … “The assassination of Charlie Kirk is the logical conclusion of the campus equations that dissent [from their narrative] equals hate [emphasis added], and that hate causes harm to marginalized groups and must be silenced, stigmatized, and excluded,” Heather Mac Donald told me. “The horrors of the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump have not ended such violence.”
Deroy Murdock, 9/13/25
Even if the alleged assassin “acted alone,” he did not get to this moment on his own. [Kirk’s assassin] appears steeped in Marxist Antifa-style indoctrination. Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway … [said]: “[Republicans] need to take the threat from left-wing activists very seriously [and] investigate how they’re funded—Antifa, other terrorist groups. They’re going to war against ICE. They tried to kill Trump. They’ve successfully killed Charlie Kirk.” [all emphasis added]
M.D. Kittle, 9/12/25
There Can Be No Compromise With People Who Want You Dead: … Kirk [himself has] pointed out [that a] staggering 55 percent of leftist respondents to a Network Contagion Research Institute study said murdering President Trump would be at least “somewhat justified.” “The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response,” Kirk posted on X in April in response to the report. … The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.” Ghoulish leftists quickly crawled out of the woodwork to gloat about Kirk’s death, while the usual suspects in the leftist media ran interference by questioning the killer’s possible motive (as if it isn’t obvious) or trying to blame the victim [all emphasis added].
Hayden Daniel, 9/12/25
After Charlie Kirk’s Murder, There Can Be No More Both-Sides-ism: … If you didn’t understand that there exist evil forces on the left who want you dead because you believe the same things Charlie did, you should now. [A] significant subset of people on the left are celebrating the death of a husband and father who stood for the same things you do. [T]hey will not be assuaged by generic words about unity because they do not want unity with you. … [Robinson] did not come to exist in a vacuum. Directly or indirectly, he’s a product of the financiers of domestic terror groups like Antifa, who promulgate ideologies of violence like those [he] reportedly engraved on his shell casings. His ilk is radicalized by the media and other Democrats who incite political violence by engaging in breathless character assassination against people like Kirk, smearing them as Nazis and threats to democracy for … peacefully trying to change minds [all emphasis added].
Elle Purnell, 9/12/25
Obama’s offensive and tone-deaf post about Charlie Kirk’s assassination backfires: … Obama never misses a chance to prove just how tone-deaf he really is. Right now, the left is in full-blown “fake news shuffle” mode, scrambling to downplay the obvious reality of extreme left-wing political violence, pretending it’s some big mystery why Charlie Kirk, one of the brightest, strongest voices in right-wing activism, was assassinated [emphasis added].
Revolver News, 9/12/25
[Y]ou and I are smart enough to know that nothing is more fascist than killing political opponents. Obama most certainly was a key architect of what Michael Shellenberger calls “an entire malignant culture that made political violence inevitable.” That the assassination took place at a university is not a surprise …
Clarice Feldman, 9/14/25
Violence on the right is not “evenly balanced” in type or scale. Right-wing violence tends to be perpetrated by loners: conspiracy theorists, Jew-haters or fringe individuals who subscribe to the paranoid lies, perversions and dark theories infesting far-right websites. By contrast the left, which dominates the culture, in universities, unions, the media, the Democratic Party, has been whipping itself into an unhinged frenzy over Trump, white people, “gender-critical” women, the climate “emergency” and everyone who dissents from progressive orthodoxies.
Clarice Feldman, 9/14/25
Tens of thousands #WalkAway [from the Democrat Party] after seeing celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s assassination… It’s a massive trend sweeping TikTok right now, where lifelong Democrats and even self-described liberals… nose rings and all… are announcing they’re done with the Democrat Party. What brought all this on? Watching their fellow Dems openly celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The left shoots those with whom it disagrees and then calls for gun control.

Democrats Wondering If Maybe They Should Stop Saying the Things Assassins Are Having Engraved on [Their] Bullets

One would think it would have occurred to the shooter looking down the scope of a high-powered rifle at the throat of someone he had never met that it is perhaps he, not his target, Charlie Kirk, that is the real hater. However, reflecting the distorted logic of the hateful left, and that is a large part of it, Tyler Robinson somehow saw Charlie Kirk, who greeted everyone of any political stripe, with a handshake and a smile, as the hater.
It appears from early investigations that Robinson, living with a transgender partner, saw Kirk’s views on the trans movement as hateful. Now here is a little lesson in democracy (or maybe just rationality). In order to determine whether Kirk’s views are hateful or not we need this thing called a discussion that used to be found at our “universities”. For, in fact, there is lots of evidence that many “trans people” later come to regret their transition. Is one allowed to speak for them or is that now forbidden in the Church of Transgenderism? To take just two of many examples, the Minnesota school shooter, Robert “Robin,” who killed 2 children and injured about 12 others, expressed transition regret in his manifesto. He wrote: “I am sick of my hair, I want to chop it off! … [I]t is pretty much my last charade of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brainwashed myself. Similarly, Prisha Mosley … a woman who was affirmed as a man by doctors and therapists and is now in a malpractice lawsuit because she has endured serious harm both physically and psychologically, has said: “As a de-transitioner, I know well how hard and hopeless it can feel to realize that your entire life and identity and all of your beliefs are a lie. It’s very painful and jarring to realize that everyone affirming you has been lying to you and that you’re living a lie, at great cost.” See also “de-transitioner” Chloe Cole, now a Christian and a Republican, here.
Only very few trans- kids still want to transition by the time they are adults. Instead, they generally turn out to be regular gay or lesbian folks.

Is one allowed to love, not hate, these people by discussing the dangers of the trans movement before they make the irreversible transition? Please let us know O great Ones!
Since Charlie Kirk was merely doing this thing called “discussing the issues”, the radical left’s hatred of him is indefensible. Accordingly, they have to pretend that there is an equivalence of violence and incitement on the left and the right. Nonsense! Thus, it is that Democrat propagandist Ron Brownstein, as usual, recites the usual falsehoods to convict Trump of the same incitement and violence,
[Trump] described Democrats and liberals as “Communists, Marxists, fascists, and…radical-left thugs” who “live like vermin within the confines of our country” [and] said that … immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America …
However, if one can read at the 9th grade level one can determine that Trump said no such thing about vermin. What he actually said is this: “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.” He did not say these are Democrats. Duh!
And Trump’s comments about immigrants poisoning the blood of our country was not Hitlerian racist language but was explicitly about immigrants bringing physical diseases like measles, tuberculosis and plague into the country. Duh! And Trump appears to be right about that as one can read here. And I failed to notice Trump or any great number of conservatives jumping for joy when the two Minnesota Democrats were killed or when some nutcase attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
By contrast, one can view the list of prominent democrats inciting violence and “war” here.
Since Charlie Kirk’s assassin mirrored perfectly the Democrat’s (virtually all of them) silly “Trump-fascist” line, the Democrats and their clucking media shills have no choice to do the only thing they know how to do: play word games. Unfortunately, the time for “Both-Sides-ism,” the time to play “let’s pretend” with the murderous leftist psychosis, is over.
[Since] the left has always been a violent, revolutionary movement, incompatible with ordered liberty. Politics isn’t possible with the left. … Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Should Herald the End of The American Left
