« Real Time » host Bill Maher and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro debate the political motivations of the suspect arrested in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
« Real Time » host Bill Maher and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro argued Friday over where the assassin of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk appears to fall politically.
« The reality is…you can break down the death threats and where they are coming from », Shapiro argued.
After a manhunt for Kirk’s assassin, authorities arrested 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson in connection with the crime. Among the various etchings written on the suspect’s casings and unfired rounds were « Hey fascist! Catch! » and « Bella ciao », a reference to an Italian, anti-fascist anthem sung during World War II.
Shapiro, a conservative commentator and former attorney, made the case that Kirk’s alleged killer is on the « political left. »
« If we are not politically correct, then we understand that if there’s a shooting at a synagogue, it is very likely to be either a white supremacist or a radical Muslim », Shapiro began. « If it is a shooting of a Republican politician, it is very likely to be a trans, antifa, Marxist shooter.
