Charlie Kirk’s assassin captured alive, preventing conspiracy theories from taking hold.
Because otherwise, this was gonna be another Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy debacle, only more so — which the liberals would weaponize to avoid culpability.
So thank God, early Friday morning, our prayers were answered. As my esteemed colleague Matt Margolis reported, President Donald Trump announced on “Fox & Friends” that a murder suspect is now in custody — turned in, apparently, by his own father.
But even before he was taken into custody, I was optimistic about this outcome. Had this sick, twisted monster valued the PR messaging more than his life, immediately after the murder, his most likely next move would’ve been to:
Wouldn’t require much set-up, either. All it would take is a single social media post and a single bullet.
The human mind craves clarity and resolution. Unchecked boxes, unanswered questions, and unknown variables don’t just make us uneasy; they also open the door to wild speculation and bull[expletive] conspiracies.
And Charlie Kirk’s family deserves better than that.
From Lee Harvey Oswald to Thomas Matthew Crooks, whenever the suspect in a high-profile assassination attempt is killed pre-trial, it provides an opening for crazed conspiratorial gobbledygook. Hell, we’re still debating JFK’s assassination — and that was more than 60 years ago — and it remains unclear how and why Crooks got within a whisker of murdering Donald Trump.
Which gave an open license for folks like Alex Jones to blame “Biden’s puppet masters” for Crooks’ assassination attempt:
Biden’s puppet masters ran the attack on Trump and they will do it again. The secret service now admits the assassin was on the roof for 26 minutes. The secret service has a long history of deliberate stand downs. Think Dallas Texas 1963 and go from there… https://t.co/6K6TeYpVJn— Alex Jones (@RealAlexJones) July 16, 2024
Can I prove that Joe Biden (and/or his “puppet masters”) WEREN’T secretly controlling Crooks? Nope!
And that’s the beauty of conspiracy theories: They can’t be proven right, and they can’t be proven wrong.
