Trump blames the 'radical left' for Charlie Kirk's killing, before a suspect is identified
While many politicians stuck to unifying themes, Trump put out a message going after the left. The shooter's identity and motive weren't yet known.
Even if this shooter is identified as a hardcore deep red republican they will still blame democrats, immigrants, and LGBTQ+
motherfucker could've died of a ruptured appendix and they'd still probably claim Bill Gates remote-detonated a microchip in his bloodstream to do it
It was the trans underground that did it!
Bill Gates is a full member of Trump's special club now. We all saw him at that dinner.
It's what they claimed about the Trump shooter, and the guy who assassinated the officials in Minnesota. Definitely a pattern that they're not going to deviate from.
Or their accusations against antifa in 2020 and before after they stood up to their aspiring Brown / black shirt paramilitaries in training. They're trying to go full Nazi, only there incompetence and misunderstanding has stopped them as of yet.
Gaslight, Obstruct, Project. It's the only thing they know.
We all know it was a blue-haired trans brown Mexican dog-eater from Haiti who couldn't hold a gun to save their life. Who else could've done it?
He donated a dollar in the grocery store checkout line to a children's hospital when he was 12, proving he's always been a Commie socialist.
I noticed a meme channel on a discord exploding yesterday and looked inside to see a bunch of the same kiddos brainwashed by Kirk claiming the 'left has a monopoly on violence' and 'all Charlie wanted was to teach people' with zero sense of irony and refusal to accept actual quotes and videos of him very much doing the opposite.
I agree with this as well, I still have the app IFunny and since the incident yesterday all the memes posted and all the hourly features are just quotes of Charlie about the left and trans etc and all the comments are from people who support him and want violence.
To distract from the senate blocking the Epstein files
The fact that he was the one that broke the news before all major media, and the fact that he’s doing his level best to railroad the narrative, makes me more and more suspicious that the whole fucking thing was orchestrated.
If that were true, I doubt they'd off Charlie Kirk, he's too valuable. He was essentially the replacement for Rush Limbaugh, and would be their prime recruiter and indoctrinator for the next several decades. Now they have to figure out a new recruiter.
Whoever did this was thinking very strategically. I like it.
This is the correct headline. Why is the rest of the media having so much trouble?
They'd rather mangle & twist their headlines into pretzels to avoid even the appearance of something that might possibly offend Herr SHitler.
Since the president kid toucher is being wreckless, guess I should to.
Kirk died due to the epstein files. You fire up a bunch of crazy people about pedos being everywhere. Drinking blood and keeping kids in pizza basements. Then you say, "I'm done talking about Epstein." How did you think people will react?
I've heard this before, but I don't remember where: Trump will nuke someone before he ever admits he fucked kids.
I believe it, so let's force him to by dragging him to court and showing the evidence and witness testimony. He's never going to volunteer it.
Did anyone seriously expect him to do anything other than to use a murder for political gain? When has he ever shown that he is anything other than a contemptable piece of dog shit?
Of course, that's why my immediate reaction to his stayement was a dramatic eye roll.
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't announced merch on his site to commemorate the moment and bank off of it at the same time. I feel like they had crap for sale when he got shot at within like 15 minutes.
So we all know the shooter is going to be maga, right?
Edit: called it.
Conspiracy is that Trump had him killed so he can ramp up his military dictatorship.
Also they say that the video of Trump is AI amd was posted before it was even announced Kirk was dead.
The the fact high-powered rifle at long distance. Yeah I can almost buy into it.
I don't want to yuck your yums, since it's sort of a subjective call, but I wouldn't necessarily call 200 meters a "long distance" shot. It's not close range, but hitting a mostly stationary human sized target at that distance is, if not "easy", certainly achievable with a minimal amount of firearms experience. I think this holds true even without the assistance of scopes or other optics. For reference, basic rifle marksmanship qualification for the armed forces has you taking on targets out to 300 meters with iron sights, and, despite never firing a weapon prior to basic training, I was able to consistently hit the 200 meter targets (though beyond that range was a coin flip)
Furthermore, calling the weapon a high-powered rifle is, to some extent, redundant. Again, it's subjective, but pretty much any firearm which fires rifle caliber ammunition is going to be by default "high-powered", unless it's .22LR. That's the only rifle cartridge I can think of that is commonly available that would not qualify as "high-powered" by a reasonable definition.
The only reason I bring up this little bit of pedantry is because, as you mentioned in your post, calling it a "long distance shot with a high powered rifle" leads the listener towards certain conclusions that are not well-founded at this juncture. It's not inaccurate or untruthful, but I do think it leaves out relevant context.
Anyone surprised that Trump makes statements based on a complete lack of evidence? He will surely use it for propaganda and whatever else is yet to come…
I'm done playing nice. Charlie Kirk was human garbage and I'm glad he's dead. I can only hope more people like him are dealt with appropriately. People like him are here only to destroy society and we've let them get on for far too long. Yup, I know I'm a pig, but at least I'm not a fascist.
Charlie Kirk became the acceptable loss he believed in. The best way to respect his passing is to ensure that acceptable losses everywhere are the people that believe in acceptable losses.
More likely it’s Trump trying to get people to forget the Epstein files. Seriously, the man will generate or hijack any outrageous issue for his own short term goals.
This may be your version of the Reichstag fire
Thank you for sharing. Sobering thought.
This will be more like the killing of Horst Wessel.
Duh no shit, of course. This was always going to happen, they were always going to blame the left because that is the playbook for EVERYTHING.
Release Epstein files
Conspiracy time: Charlie Kirk has been sacrificed by his own political party. It's a false flag to blame the "radical left", and no suspect will ever actually be identified. It makes democratic politicians continue to look out of touch as they condemn "political violence" across the board. And of course, it distracts all the lovely people demanding access to THE EPSTEIN FILES. Stay focused, everyone 🙂

Never let a crisis go to waste. — Machiavellian leaders
Orange Shitbasket uses a person's death to distract his involvement in raping little children.
If they don't find the actual sbooter fast enough, he will send in the National Guard and/or find a patsy.
They already tried to find a patsy. It was just so obviously not the guy they had to let him go.
who's the white guy they arrested minutes after the shooting?
Questioned and released. Not involved apparently.
Aaaand there we go, right on cue, and exactly as expected
Got to get the narrative they want out into the media before anything comes to light that goes against it.
Get some mud in the water asap
Release epstein files
No one is surprised. He will use any possible angle to use the military against us.
Get ready for the government to declare a national emergency or some BS.
Its genuinely funny this took place in Utah. I would be tickled if a reporter asks if he'll send the national guard to Utah.
I mean, don't Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum regularly say things along the lines of if someone on the left was murdered, they would applaud it?
Of course he does. Pile the sins upon the scape goat before you exile it from the village.
All he wants is for his people to do some revenge for him against those who reject him. So yeah he'll stoke that flame.
Weird, huh? Sure makes it look planned.
Could this be his Reichstag fire?
I doubt that. The Reichstag fire was way more grand and symbolic an act that was used to justify an even bigger power grab. This was just a moron who advocated living by the sword who ended up dying by it.
I'd bet whoever did it was for no less than $100, but am I certain? Nooo.
Who’s next?
Its the MOSSAD
Oh they should pin it on a big name, like AOC. Exciting!
It’s the political rhetoric on both sides of that are driving people to extreme actions. The news is just feeding everyone’s fears and social media is helping.
Just look at Reddit and Lemmy celebrating the death of a person. Mainly due to his political views. I keep seeing people post what he stated about the 2nd amendment and some deaths will occur. Even after this incident, I would wager he still believes in 2nd amendment.
The person committing the act of violence with an instrument (gun, knife, etc) is the problem. You don’t blame a drunk drivers vehicle for the deadly accident. You blame the person who was irresponsible and knowingly committed a crime.
A vehicle's main purpose is transportation. It has to be misused or weaponized to kill.
A gun's purpose is to kill. If you pull the trigger, whether you want it or not, you are firing a bullet designed to be as lethal as possible.
So yes, I blame guns.
Mainly due to his political views.
I am just curious, what exactly were these political views? And why do you think they are legitimate and not demagoguery?
The reason I am asking is that while living in the US, the impression I got is that most polemicists were demagogues. It was a method to get money, grifting so to speak.
This was a while ago, but I vividly remember several nominally anti-abortion politicians getting caught getting their mistresses pregnant and then pressuring the mistresses to get an abortion.
Gun control is an issue you could reasonably go on either side on, but "it's fine if we have a mass shooting every week if it means we get to keep our guns" is not. Neither is, you know, all the other fascist shit he was spouting.
Any extreme political rhetoric you've noticed on the left is a direct consequence and in reaction to extreme political actions undertaken by the right.
Fuck around and find out. It's really easy to just not fuck around and spread hate and violence everywhere you go, believe it or not. Kirk got what he wanted and worked towards inflicting on others.
