Charlie Kirk Assassinated Where the Left’s rhetoric inevitably leads. by Mark Tapson

Turning Point USA founder and conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was the target of an assassin on Wednesday afternoon as he fielded questions from a large audience during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Amid a student Q&A session, a shot rang out, reportedly from a building about 200 yards from the stage, and witnesses attest that Charlie was shot in the neck. Video captures show him flinching from a neck wound. Kirk’s security team whisked him away. The event erupted into chaos as attendees fled, but in short order social media circulated claims that a suspect was in custody. Those claims unsurprisingly turned out to be false.
Initial reports were that Kirk’s condition was serious but not life-threatening, but shortly after the shooting Kirk’s broadcast platform, Real America’s Voice, posted, “Charlie Kirk Has Passed.” And then the eulogies began pouring in.
President Trump himself posted on X, “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.”
JD Vance weighed in online as well: “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.”
Ron DeSantis mourned, “Rest in Peace, Charlie Kirk. Casey and I are praying for his family. Charlie was a warrior for liberty, and his murder is a tragedy for our nation.”
A poster called FischerKing wrote, “They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.”
Brace yourself for the usual deflections from the Left-wing media as they try to justify the killing with such excuses as “Kirk was a polarizing figure,” as well as the predictable, outright gleeful gloating on Left-wing social media outlets like Bluesky. Such hateful rhetoric, including the Left’s vicious and routine demonization of their political opponents as Nazis and fascists, is precisely what leads to everyone from Catholic schoolchildren to the President of the United States – and now Charlie Kirk – being targeted for murder.
As Charlie himself posted back in April,
Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.
In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.
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.
This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.
Join us in praying for the eternal soul of Charlie Kirk, for his wife and two small children, and for America, which is in the grip of surging political violence from the hate-America Left.
