Charlie Kirk’s murder has leftists working overtime to create fantasies about it.
Just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the left is working overtime to hide the truth and create fantasies about his death.
Specifically, leftists alleged that conservatives were going to “pounce” on the death to wage protests and boost radical agendas in the manner of what followed George Floyd’s death.
Here are some of the lies that such a ridiculous narrative entails:
One, Charlie Kirk is not conservatives’ George Floyd.
There were no mass riots after his death of the sort that followed Floyd’s demise.
Floyd’s death was used by the left to justify five months of rioting, arson, murder, looting and attacking police officers.
The postmortem respect for Kirk’s singular life was not characterized by $2 billion in property damage, the torching of a police precinct, a federal courthouse and an iconic church, 35 deaths and 1,500 injured law-enforcement officers.
Instead, thousands of people peacefully joined his Turning Point USA organization and promised to redirect their lives toward peaceful political engagement.
Two, after Kirk’s death, no prominent Republican or conservative is encouraging ongoing mass (and often violent) protests in the manner of high-profile leftists like former Vice President Kamala Harris.
She blurted out on national television in June 2020, “They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement . . . They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. . . . And they should not.”
Gov. Tim Walz’s spouse declared of the 2020 arsons, “I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing.
