«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.
