    I love how some officials are already calling it a “political assassination” and everyone is talking about “political violence” when there’s not even a suspect.

    It’s probably not a good idea to beat around the bush with this one. The mango in chief himself is saying this shit (TW: the link is truth dot social).

    At about 3 minutes in:

    “Radical-left violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.”

    Followed by bullshit about how great of a person Charlie Kirk was, and then

    “Charlie was the best of America and the monster who was attacking him was attacking our whole country”

      the monster who was attacking him was attacking our whole country

      Almost got it. He wasn’t attacking the “whole” country, just MAGA. I doubt that I would have to worry about my safety with the killer. A MAGA Nazi should, though.

        Was he though? Nobody has been arrested and charged yet so for all we know the shooter could be a jilted lover etc. might not even be a “he” for that matter
