'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

I thought the same too when POTUS blamed The Left™ in his speech before knowing who was responsible, but apparently that's ok. Musk posted the same kind of idiocy in similar fashion, and the Fox News talking heads were declaring "war". But sure, Kimmel didn't exercise a shred of restraint.

Congressional Democrats call for war and fighting in the streets but bear no responsibility for their incitement.

"McIver, addressing a crowd of demonstrators, urged protesters to "shut down the city" and declared, "We are at war!" rhetoric that critics argue is dangerous and inflammatory.

Her comments come just days after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) similarly instructed Democratic members to “fight in the streets” against Trump’s policies."

No one's apologizing to The Left™ (or The Radical Left™ for that matter) for the baseless smears made against a whole bunch of people. But yeah, I know THE LEEEEEFT!!!!™.

Yeah I know, it wasn't really an assassination. It was a MAGA supporter firing off a round in celebration.

Shutting down a city with civil disobedience is not a call to violence.
 
That is my point. He also had some leftwing politics, but that doesn't mean that there is some broad indictment of the left because of it. We need to stop acting like MAGA ******s every time someone on the left does something bad.

What leftwing politics did he have?
 
The guy was raised around and with guns, so he knew how to use them. He had a trans girlfriend. Charlie Kirk said a lot of mean things about trans people, thus the motive (I am not saying Charlie Kirk deserved to die because he said hateful things about trans people, I am saying this is the shooter's motive). Pretty cut and dry from the looks of it. The guy doesn't need to be part of some vast leftwing conspiracy even though he is obviously on the left in terms of his personal politics.

nothing Kirk said was mean or hateful, it was honest and factual and his opinion

but the liberal left sells it as hateful/mean and THAT is what sparks people like this
 
His own mother says he had leftwing views. https://www.vox.com/politics/462173/charlie-kirk-killer-motive-tyler-robinson-jimmy-kimmel

Most of MAGA, including Trump, are ******s in that they cannot admit that someone who holds views like they hold could do something bad. Don't be like MAGA, this guy was obviously leftwing, that doesn't mean its some indictment of liberal politics.

Its possible they are simply left-wing to her, if she even knows what they are. We sure don't, and she didn't say.

Accepting transgenders for who they are is considered left-wing by many people, but it isn't. The right-wing made a political issue out of it.

Executing an American president seems kind of mean.

Wait, there's more:

"Kirk habitually railed against “Black crime,” claiming that “prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people.” He repeated the rape accusations against Yusef Salaam, a member of the exonerated Central Park Five who is now a New York City councilman, calling him a “disgusting pig” who had gotten away with “gang rape.” Whatever distaste Kirk held for Blacks was multiplied when he turned to those from Haiti. Haiti was, by Kirk’s lights, a country “infested with demonic voodoo,” whose migrants were “raping your women and hunting you down at night.” These Haitians, as well as undocumented immigrants from other countries, were “having a field day,” per Kirk, and “coming for your daughter next.” The only hope was Donald Trump, who had to prevail, lest Haitians “become your masters.”

The point of this so-called mastery was as familiar as it was conspiratorial—“great replacement.” There was an “anti-white agenda,” Kirk howled. One that sought to “make the country more like the Third World.” The southern border was “the dumping ground of the planet,” he claimed, and a magnet for “the rapists, the thugs, the murderers, fighting-age males.” “They’re coming from across the world, from China, from Russia, from Middle Eastern countries,” he said, “and they’re coming in and they’re coming in and they’re coming in and they’re coming in…”

You can probably imagine where this line of thinking eventually went. “Jewish donors,” Kirk claimed, were “the number one funding mechanism of radical open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits.” Indeed, “the philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country.”

Kirk’s bigotry was not personal, but extended to the institution he founded, Turning Point USA. Crystal Clanton, the group’s former national field director, once texted a fellow Turning Point employee, “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like **** them all … I hate blacks. End of story.” One of the group’s advisers, Rip McIntosh, once published a newsletter featuring an essay from a pseudonymous writer that said Blacks had “become socially incompatible with other races” and that Black culture was an “un-fixable and crime-ridden mess.” In 2022, after three Black football players were killed at another college, Meg Miller, president of Turning Point’s chapter at the University of Missouri, joked (“joked”) in a social media message, “If they would have killed 4 more n-ggers we would have had the whole week off.”"

FFS, his own family says he was on the left politically. Let's stop acting like MAGA and denying anyone that shares any views we have could do anything bad. FFS, they won't even admit Hitler was on the right. Why act like them? By all indications, the guy was on the left and he certainly wasn't a groyper.
 
OK.

"Democrats are sounding the alarm that a Fox News host’s access to thousands of hours of security tapes from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol could endanger the Capitol further and trigger a new wave of disinformation."

A perfectly reasonable concern.
Thanks for doing research for yourself.

What's the motto on the masthead of the WaPo that great amplifier of all things DNC approved? Oh yeah, "Democracy dies in darkness". They must have put the "except when Democrats have concerns about so-called disinformation" exception in micro print.

Perhaps you could explain the reasonable concern over unmasking propaganda built around curated snippets of video in an environment where Democrats demand laws forbidding masks on Federal law enforcement officers.
 
Shutting down a city with civil disobedience is not a call to violence.
Where did you see the call to practice civil disobedience? The call was to war. Does fighting in the streets qualify as civil disobedience? No.

Trumps claims that it was radical leftist that caused Kirks death thus far are BS.

Buy hey, enjoy Kimmels monologue this evening, I shall.

The killer was radical left. The only people who refuse to accept this are other radical leftists.

Direct calls by Congressional Democrats for war and fighting in the streets are weak diversions from a discussion of their responsibility for violence? Couldn't be more absurd.

True

But 2 wrongs dont make it right do they ?

The Dems are scumbags

Sounds like it came from some Vanity Fair poseur.

Do you think he was calling for violence in the legislature and the courts too?

Took a week off have you?
 
According to the charging document filed Tuesday, Robinson's mother told police "that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left – becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.

"She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders," the court document continues. "This resulted in several discussions with family members, but especially between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views. In one conversation before the shooting, Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU, which Robinson said was a 'stupid venue' for the event. Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate."

Robinson's parents believed that their son was potentially the shooter after they saw "the surveillance image of the suspected shooter in the news," per the charging document. While talking to their son, "Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated that he couldn’t go to jail and just wanted to end it. When asked why he did it, Robinson said there is too much evil and the guy [Charlie Kirk] spreads too much hate."
For Christ’s sake, There’s a huge difference between a conservative ‘leaning’ towards the left and a radical leftist. Radical is synonymous with extreme, in case you didn’t know, and it appears that you don’t.
 
There’s no argument you could make
Everything Kirk said was founded in fact and made into an -ist accusation by the author.

Which you are unable to logically argue against.
 
I never said the left was involved. I said the shooter was a leftist. Thats a fact.
What made him a leftist? Who he chooses to love?
