The Northwest Nonsense
The FBI now has the rifle used in yesterday’s assassination of the most prominent millennial conservative commentator in America and that means they should soon have his killer in custody.
Charlie Kirk died when a single bullet from that 30-06 Mauser tore out his throat as he sat in front of thousands of college students at Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Kirk founded Turning Point USA a dozen years ago and spoke to college crowds regularly. And he knew that his free speech made him a target for the political left.
He recently warned “at the core of a liberal is a person who would use the sword if they have it. They are very violent people.”
Earlier this year, a survey found 55 percent of self-identified liberals believe the murder of public figures is justified.
Politicians on the left egg them on. VP candidate Tim Walz talks about “Donald Trump’s modern day Gestapo.” Less than 20 years have passed since Barack Obama told a Philly rally “if they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun.”
We have seen the attempted assassination of a congressman, a man with a gun outside the home of a Supreme Court Justice, two attempted assassinations of President Trump … and now, Charlie Kirk.
