We are suffering through an epidemic of leftist violence.
The ruthless assassination of conservative youth leader Charlie Kirk, 31, at a crowded campus event in Utah on Wednesday is the latest manifestation of the hateful rhetoric aimed at President Trump and his MAGA movement.
It’s a sad irony that Kirk’s shockingly public murder happened the day before the trial begins of Ryan Routh, one of the alleged assassins who tried to rub out Trump during the 2024 campaign.
Prescient as always, Kirk understood the consequences of the escalating violent rhetoric of the left, as he and Trump kept winning the hearts and minds of a new generation, especially young men, withlogic and common sense.
“Assassination culture is spreading on the left,” he tweeted two months ago. “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 [CEO killer] 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.”
Contrary to the narrative pushed by left-wing media and fanned by Joe Biden and his administration, the political violence is almost exclusively from the left.Dem Encouragement
Setting the scene were the deadly BLM-Antifa riots that engulfed the country in the summer of 2020, which were tacitly encouraged by Democrats like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as a way to destabilize then-President Trump and then project their own culpability and motivations onto the J6 Capitol riot by Trump supporters one afternoon.
Then, of course, President Trump was the target of two assassination attempts last year, including almost having his head blown off, but miraculously tilting his head at the right moment for the bullet to nick his ear instead.
There was also the arson and vandalism against Tesla dealerships to intimidate Elon Musk and punish him for his support for Trump.
