Trump Calls Kirk A 'Martyr For Truth,' Blames 'Radical Left' For Shooting

... Trump continued: "He's a martyr for truth and freedom,

He spread the 2020 Big LIE and bused terrorists to J6.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_K ... tol_attack

and there's never been anyone who was so respected by youth."

Not even SpongeBob SquarePants?

After praising Kirk for his commitment to his Christian faith,

MAGA = false witness, ALWAYS.

Trump pivoted to blaming the shooting on the "radical left."

"It's long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree," Trump said. "For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis

Um, Dementia Don often compared liberals to Nazis, then nonsensically to Communists in the same breath. Opps.

and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals.

If the shoe fits, genocide enabler . . .

This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now."

Mirror.

There's no suspect in custody, nor are there any indications from investigators of the shooter's motive.

Opps.

... "Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives," Trump said.

Trump did not mention any of the many recent examples of violence against left-leaning politicians.

Of course not, nor will he ever mention that his own TRE45QN admin* IDed RWers as being responsible for far far more political violence than LWers.
MAGA = lying, ALWAYS.

... “I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah,” the governor added....

How is that deterrence thing working out, Gov?

[GoCubsGo]

The right wing is going apeshit tonight to no one's surprise.



Not a peep about gun control.

Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Suggests Children Should Watch Public Executions

Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to see public executions?" Kirk asked.

On empathy:

[1 CAT FAN]

There's some irony.

Thoughts and prayers.

Most def

Hey, you changed your post.

I wonder if Kirk would have felt the same if he knew that he was going to be the sacrifice we pay for having the Second Amendment.

I oppose ALL political assassinations as being ineffective and counter-productive. If this was a lefty there will be a nasty backlash.

Utah Gov, paraphrased: If you felt any pleasure at all upon hearing of this assassination go look in the mirror and ask if you're the kind of person you want to be.

I did.
I did.
I did.
I am. Kirk was a cruel, bigoted, lying, asshole MAGAt. Buh-bye.

Something for y'all to celebrate. Despicable cowardice assholes.

[Whack9]

So in the past three months we've had two political assassinations. The MN state rep and her husband back in June, and now Charlie Kirk. Not to mention the failed attempt on other MN lawmakers. Thats quite a bit for such a short period of time..

Old Man Trump released a speech yesterday blaming "radical left extremism". We don't even know the murderers motives yet. They haven't even caught the person. Trump mentioned a slew of politicians targeted by the "radical left", of course failed to mention the MN reps murdered.

So yeah, despite all of the pearl clutching by everyone right now, Trump is using Kirk's death as a useful tool for his own ends.

For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals," he said in a video message Wednesday night. "This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now."

Trump called for "all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree" — but he then called out "radical left political violence," without paying tribute to any Democratic politicians who have been targeted

...

Political violence is not relegated to one side of the aisle. Trump was the target of two assassination attempts during his latest campaign, and he was shot during one. Among Democrats, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro faced an arson attack at his house, former Minnesota state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in what authorities described as a "politically motivated assassination," and Rep. Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked with a hammer.

...

He has dubbed California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, “Newscum” and called former Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., an “enemy from within.” Last year, he described Pelosi, D-Calif., the former House speaker, as “evil, sick, crazy.”

Trump has heaped vitriol on fellow Republicans, as well. In 2022, when he was out of office, he said Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, then the Senate Republican leader, had a "death wish" by voting for legislation sponsored by Democrats.

You've made two really good and accurate posts, sadly it brings me back to 2016.

Hillary was right.

What happens next? Are they going to war? They certainly are beating the drums.

From the tone and content of Trump's speech, rather than using his position of authority to call for calm and respect, and condemning any and all political violence no matter the perpetrator, he's absolutely beating the war drums. I don't think he really gives a shit about Charlie Kirk to be honest. He probably received the news with glee.

That man is not a leader.

Well yeah.

It's all about making political hay.

Nancy Mace is a disturbed cretin.

Yes, Charlie Kirk's last words were, 'Counting or not counting gang violence?'
The conservative activist was fatally shot Sept. 10, 2025, during an event at a Utah college.

ATTENDEE: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?

KIRK: Too many. [Applause]

ATTENDEE: In America, it's five. Now, five is a lot, right, I'm going to give you — I'm going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?

KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence?

Arguably racist dodge. Firearms gang violence also comes courtesy of Kirk and his White NRA buddies.

... Snopes has previously debunked claims that mass shooters are disproportionately trans people....

Trans shooters just get an extraordinary amount of attention from the dishonest RW echo chamber.

Seen elsewhere: Having Charlie Kirk killed is a really extreme way for Trump to distract from the Epstein Files.

[O Really]

9 right wingers shoot at people; one left-winger shoots at somebody. Guy on TV (CBS) says "political violence is rising among all areas, right and left."

Heard from a talking head, 75% comes front RWNJ's, 4% from LWNJ's and 21% from other .

Don't know if it's verifiable but doesn't seem too far off.

Don't know about having him killed, but the distraction part is true.

Sure, but why.

Vrede already answered the prevailing question, you're just piling on cause you think you found some abstract thread to pull on.

It's an irrelevant red herring.

Thanks.

OLD SoupySales still pictures the 1961 Sharks and Jets when anyone mentions violent gangs. 2 pages of our Kirk posts over 2 days and that's what he decided to gripe about? He seems very defensive whenever the topic of MAGA racism is broached. Verrrry defensive, hmm.
