When a left-wing assassin murdered Charlie Kirk, conservatives did something completely foreign to the left — they mourned peacefully.
Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, died September 10 at Utah Valley University. The assassin was a radical leftist who left spent casings on the ground with far-left slogans.
So while the left spirals into violence, conservatives are returning to church and holding prayer vigils.
Kirk’s wife, Erika, appeared on Fox News just days later — and rather than calling for violence, she called for Americans to start TPUSA chapters, have families, and go to church. The widow’s solid resolve ignited a spark across the conservative movement.
Across the country, conservatives answered the call. They requested to start more than 62,000 new TPUSA chapters, organized prayer vigils and memorials, and filled churches across the country.
Conspicuously absent: violence, riots, and looting.
Contrast this with George Floyd’s 2020 death in police custody. Before all the facts came in, mobs stormed police stations, cities burned, and violence erupted across the country. All this for a man with an extensive criminal history. Meanwhile, prominent conservatives, including Ben Shapiro, condemned Floyd’s death.Celebrating Violence
For the left, politics is power — and violence is fair game. Kirk’s assassination only drove the point home. During his campus visits, leftists often greeted him with disdain instead of debate. (RELATED: The Trigger on Charlie Kirk’s Slow-Motion Assassination Was Pulled Before His Birth)
“I just have one question for you,” someone at San Francisco State University said to Kirk.
