Turning Point USA 

As someone who spends a lot of time on X for work, I usually hear about news there first. Not this time. I had just spent a few hours working on trade structures for this alert which I posed on X without checking the timeline, and headed out for lunch. 

I got a call from my mother while I was driving, asking if I'd heard the news about Charlie Kirk. She was distraught, even though at that point, neither she nor I knew he had been killed (neither of us had seen the footage of the shooting yet).

I didn't even know my mother knew who Charlie Kirk was, but that she did was a testament to his talent in getting his message out. Unlike a lot of young right wingers, Charlie transcended the Internet, and had a larger impact in mainstream media and in person, which ultimately cost him his life. And unlike many older conservative pundits who started out in mainstream media, Charlie's views matured and evolved, becoming more right-leaning/paleoconservative over time. Below are some reactions to his assassination from accounts I follow on X. 

The Right Reacts To The Assassination Of Charlie Kirk 

The Russian podcasters note the similarity between the current moment in America and Ukraine on the verge of war in 2014.

Upstate Federalist reminded a leftist zoomer of his previous character assassination of Charlie Kirk

Amy Curtis reminded California Governor Gavin Newsom of the time he mocked the assassination attempt on Trump.

Benjamin Braddock on Charlie Kirk:

Calls for crushing the radical left raise questions of whether Trump has loyal men to do so.

Maybe he does--in ICE.

Well said.

A good response to a leftist gloating over Kirk's death.

Maybe a third world student at the college had advance knowledge of the assassination.

A good reminder of the left's lies about political violence.

Charlie Kirk warned of the left's embrace of assassination culture after the murder of the United Health CEO.

They're evil.

Sam Hyde suggests Trump cross the Rubicon.

He tags Palmer Lucky, who hopefully isn't too busy sending drones to Ukraine or riding his new flying motorcycle. Russian diplomat and sovereign wealth fund CEO Kirill Dmitriev prays for Charlie.

Echoes of leftist terror from 50 years ago.

People should see the video of the shooting.

Here it is (if it hasn't been removed by the time you see this). Viewer discretion advised. 

Gleeful leftists should pay for their sociopathy.

They're evil.

"They killed the last man in America willing to have a conversation". Many comments along similar lines.

Charlie knew the risks and "died in the saddle". Rest in Peace. 

 

 

A warning from history:

The day will come when the violence you have unleashed will be turned against you.
