The Democrat Party Is A Domestic Terrorist Organization– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

After a long history of condoning, advocating, and participating in political violence, it is time to designate the Democrat Party a domestic terrorist organization.

Decades of extreme language, calling conservatives “Nazis,” claiming existential threats are around the corner in order to feed an assassination culture, and justifying the aftermath has brought a level of violence that is only one-sided: The left tries to murder or maim their political enemies.

On Wednesday afternoon, a shooter took the life of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, just as he was answering a question about left-wing violence in the United States.

Left-wing commentators at corporate media outlets — the mouthpieces of the Democrat Party — were quick to justify the violence, suggesting it was justified or that Kirk brought it on himself, even going as far as to suggest it was really a Trump supporter firing a gun in “celebration.”

Democrats have a long history of calling conservatives the most vile things our culture can think of, and their friends in the media spread the message to anyone who watches them.

Democrats have recently been saying they “cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore.”

Just yesterday, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said in an interview, “Our only opportunity, our only chance to save our democracy, is to fight fire with fire.”

Murphy brushed off “the fact that we’re blowing up norms,” adding that if you spend any more than “two seconds … being sorry for the fact that the old world doesn’t exist, then your democracy is gone.”

Excerpt:

Argentine President Javier Milei issued a statement on Wednesday honoring the life of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, killed on Wednesday afternoon by an unknown gunman during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University.

Milei, who met Kirk during a visit to Florida shortly after his election to the presidency, praised Kirk as a “formidable spreader of the ideas of liberty and staunch defender of the West.” He also emphasized the relationship between left-wing ideologies and rampant violence in his statement.

“He was the victim of an atrocious assassination in the middle of a wave of left-wing political violence in the entire region,” Milei wrote. “The left is always, at all times and in all places, a violent, hate-filled phenomenon. The whole world lost an incredible human being.”

Milei’s statement, accompanied by a photo of the Argentine president alongside Kirk and former Congressman Matt Gaetz, expressed condolences to the Kirk family “and to all the youth of the world who admired and listened to him.”

Milei’s reference to a “wave of left-wing political violence” appears to be contextualizing the public assassination of Kirk following several high-profile killings of popular conservatives in the Western Hemisphere. In June, a child gunman killed the frontrunner in the 2026 Colombian presidential election, Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay, who remained alive in intensive care for two months before his death was announced in August. Prior to the Uribe assassination, another presidential frontrunner, former journalist Fernando Villavencio in Ecuador, was assassinated publicly during a campaign rally in 2023. Both candidates were aggressive opponents of communist terrorism, Marxist narco-terrorists, and gang violence. While these two cases are the most high-profile in recent memory, conservative political figures throughout South America have experienced direct political violence throughout the past year, most aggressively in Colombia under the presidency of socialist former guerrilla member Gustavo Petro.

FBI Agent Lays Out Chilling Analysis Of Kirk Assassination: ‘Professional Hit’– trendingpoliticsnews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Retired FBI agent Stuart Kaplan provided a chilling analysis of the assassination of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk in which he stated that the killing had the makings of a “professional hit.”

Kirk was shot around noon local time at Utah Valley University and was pronounced dead a little over an hour later. He was shot by a single bullet midway through the question-and-answer period and immediately transported to a local hospital, though he was unable to survive the massive loss of blood.

Investigators believe Kirk was shot from a nearby rooftop, though CNN has reported that investigators were unable to recover a weapon from the area. As of 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, September 11, the gunman is still at-large.

While speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Kaplan shared his analysis on the assassination and the ongoing manhunt to locate the shooter.

“I think this assassination, different than the assassinated attempt back in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a very well-planned, very well-orchestrated plot that was put in motion days before,” the retired FBI special agent speculated. “And this individual had a plan of escape to elude detection of being out up on a rooftop and also being able to evade and elude law enforcement after that shot was taken.”

Kaplan compared the Kirk assassination with the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life in Pennsylvania last month, specifically noting that the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was seen entering and later leaving the venue before taking the shot. Crooks’ presence was noted by Secret Service counter-snipers, who took a photo but later lost track of him.

“Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror.”

President Donald Trump issued a statement on the assassination of his friend Charlie Kirk. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump spoke from his heart and appeared to be holding back deep emotion. Trump ordered flags across the nation to fly at half mast.

“To my great fellow Americans,” Trump began, “I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror.

“Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice and the American people. He’s a martyr for truth and freedom, and there’s never been anyone who was so respected by youth.

“Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith, and we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven. Our prayers are with his wife, Erika, the two young, beloved children and his entire family who he loved more than anything in the world, we ask God to watch over them in this terrible hour of heartache and pain, this is a dark moment for America.

“Charlie Kirk traveled the nation joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody ever, to share his love of country and to spread the simple words of common sense on campuses nationwide.

Excerpt:

If you’re looking for something poignant, I’m not your guy right now. My colleagues have done remarkable work eulogizing and paying tribute to Charlie Kirk; there is absolutely nothing that I can add to their heartfelt words. Words that I know weren’t easy to write.

In what is a huge departure for me, I had already mapped out what I was going to write here at the top of Thursday’s Briefing before noon my time on Wednesday. It was about 9/11, although probably not what you might expect. That will be turned into a column that I’ll publish later today.

As soon as the news that Charlie Kirk had been shot hit, the day immediately became a surreal blur of fast-moving information that felt like it was happening in a slow-motion nightmare. I didn’t know Charlie — he came to prominence just as my many years of activism were winding down. I have been aware for a long time of the great work that Turning Point USA does, however. I know a lot of younger people who have been politically energized by TPUSA and who had a lot of respect and affection for Kirk.

People I know who don’t pay a lot of attention to politics were devastated and glued to the news. My private messages, texts, and phone calls featured a lot of monosyllabic expletive-laden expressions of shock and outrage. Two friends offered variations on “this feels different.” That was echoed in other conversations. My good friend Kira Davis posted this on X:

Excerpt:

The man is gone, but the fire he lit still burns.

So wrote Vice President J.D. Vance in a post on X as he reached back into his years of friendship with conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was gunned down in Utah on Wednesday while trying to pass on the fire of conservatism to a new generation.

Vance initially offered a prayer when news of Kirk’s death broke, writing on X, “Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord.”

Later, he reflected on the long journey he made from the edges of politics to its core, walking with Kirk every step of the way.

“A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today,” Vance wrote.

“Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives,” he wrote.

Just hours prior, Robert Bohls, the FBI special agent in charge of the investigation, announced the discovery of a bolt-action rifle investigators believe was used in the shooting. The rifle was found in a “wooded area where the shooter had fled.”

According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, the rifle was found with a magazine containing three unspent rounds engraved with “expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.”

He said authorities have contacted residents to collect video from their security cameras.

“We do have good video footage of this individual,” he said.

Mason said the footage would not be released to the public “at this time” unless police efforts to identify the shooter using law enforcement technology prove unsuccessful.

Excerpt:

Columbia University’s satirical newspaper, The Federalist, published an article making fun of Turning Point USA’s pro-Second Amendment position just hours after Charlie Kirk was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

The headline read, “Turning Point USA Undergoes Unexpected Ideological Shift, States Second Amendment Actually Not That Important Anymore.”

A mock statement from TPUSA leadership, written by the satirical newspaper, read:

The Turning Point USA leadership team recently convened to discuss the role of the Second Amendment in our propaganda, I mean, education. We’ve decided to reconsider our stance on gun control and personal freedoms. This decision was made completely independently of recent events.

Guns kill people. That is a truth that we have only recently learned. It turns out, ignoring all of those public health experts and grieving parents and nationwide statistics wasn’t a good idea. Our bad!

“In typical conservative fashion, it seems, Turning Point USA only realizes how terrible their politics are when it f**ks with their own lives. Go figure,” the article concluded.

“Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him,” Vance wrote in part.

“Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he’d encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.”

CNN’s Van Jones Two Days Before the Assassination: ‘Charlie Kirk Is Pure Race Mongering — He Should Be Ashamed’– conservativeroof.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Monday, during CNN’s “NewsNight” broadcast, host Abby Phillip and CNN contributor Van Jones attacked Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk for likening the fatal Charlotte stabbing of Iryna Zarutska to the 2020 George Floyd incident in Minneapolis.

Phillip offered a clip from Kirk’s program where he made the point, which Jones declared Kirk “should be ashamed of himself.”

Partial transcript as follows:

ABBY PHILLIP: So, certain people have been looking for an opportunity to find a case like this, to make a point like this. I want to play, this is Charlie Kirk, why he says this hasn’t gotten a lot of attention.

*BEGIN VIDEO CLIP* — CHARLIE KIRK, HOST, THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOW: A white Ukrainian refugee was murdered just because she was white. Everybody knows that obviously. If a random white person simply walked up to and stabbed a nice law-abiding black person for no reason, it would be an apocalyptically huge national story used to impose national, sweeping political changes on the whole country. Instead, Meghan Basham, no one seems to care when a white woman gets stabbed to death. — *END VIDEO CLIP*

ABBY PHILLIP: When you are mentally ill, you have a hard time knowing that you are mentally ill. But also, I mean, people like Charlie Kirk, Van, they’ve been looking for opportunities to make this some sort of like reciprocal George Floyd situation. And that’s the part that I think he’s almost giving away the game. It’s sad to see a lot of people going along with it.

Trans Writings Of Kirk Assassin ‘Related To Cultural Issues’– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

When facts emerged suggesting the assassin of Charlie Kirk may be yet another deranged Antifa or transgenderism extremist, CNN immediately went to great lengths to cover the murderer’s reported political sympathies.

According to authorities, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, the assassin’s gun contained ammunition inscribed with phrases supporting “transgender” and “antifascist” ideology. In an apparent attempt to hide that information, CNN decided to run with a headline describing the bullets as having been “scrawled with cultural phrases.”

The chyron CNN ran on television said the same: “Phrases Related to Cultural Issues Were Scrawled on Rifle.”

Probably worse is that CNN said the bullets were inscribed with a “range of phrases related to cultural issues” (emphasis added) so it could launder the idea that “it’s not yet clear if they point to a motivation in the attack.” No. The assassin’s likely motivations are quite clear. Kirk was famous for his conservative and Christian views. That would be an obvious top motivator for someone to assassinate him in such a public and deliberate fashion.

Kirk made his life’s work doing something leftists could never do: Have reasoned debate with those who disagree to advance public discourse. He went on college campuses to talk to anyone who wanted to engage. That’s dangerous to the left because they can no longer logically defend their irrational positions. It’s very likely that for this great sin, Kirk was assassinated.

Years of looking the other way at Left on Right violence, excusing shootings by mentally disturbed transgender assailants, and shrugging off black on white crime may be ending with the assassinations of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska.

Fed up with being victims and the political correctness that required silence, pollsters are finding that more are speaking out, and the killings signaled the start of a massive blowback.

“I think what happens is people get complacent, they get comfortable, and then things get bad, and so people are called to action,” said Rasmussen Reports pollster Mark Mitchell.

“Imagine people out there talking about a new ‘white lives matter’ movement,” he said. That “happened just because of the North Carolina killing just in the last two or three days, and it’s completely changed the social media landscape permanently. People are talking in ways they were not talking about a year ago, about black crime statistics and things like that, and then to have this happen on top of it,” he said, pointing to Kirk’s killing in Utah yesterday.

And just like that, there was a White Lives Matter movement. https://t.co/5qW61bYzbm

Charlie Kirk Assassination Proves The Left Needs To Fear Its Rules– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

It was only one day before he was assassinated that Charlie Kirk said in a podcast interview that politicizing murder is often an imperative: “I don’t like politicizing situations like [the murder of  Iryna Zarutska], but it just necessitates it because there are so many dynamics at play here.”

So let’s not pretend for a second that there’s something untoward in talking about Kirk’s death in terms of politics. By definition, the assassination is political. Democrats got us here, and they are to be held to account for it.

Just two weeks ago, I noted Democrat leaders are increasingly using language in public indicating raw bloodlust, as when Democrat National Committee Chairman Ken Martin said he was “sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight,” and that Democrats “cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore.”
