"All of this rage [against 'the left' ehen Charlie Kirk was shot] was founded on the presumption that whoever shot Kirk was someone acting on a 'far left' political motive. But when the shooter was apprehended a day later, that all fell apart, because it turned out that the man—22-year-old Tyler Robinson of St. George, Utah—had no connections to leftist or antifascist organizations."

Charlie Kirk’s vengeful MAGA defenders follow path he pioneered: Falsely blaming ‘violent left’ for extremist violence

Well before he was assassinated, the TPUSA founder liked to blame the "violent left" and "transgender shooters" for manifestations of extremism without evidence. His admirers are following suit.

The Spyhop

"He was, in fact, a member of the LDS Church in good standing who was photographed practicing with guns as a teenager, as well as wearing a Trump-themed Halloween costume in 2017. …

This is what has happened consistently whenever the MAGA right has tried to redirect concern about political extremism to its left-wing variant and away from their own overwhelming record of terroristic violence."

"The 'violent left' and 'antifa' and 'trans shooting epidemic' they blame for a wide number of horrific acts—including Kirk’s assassination—is almost entirely the fabric of their conspiracist fantasies, and they find themselves forever grasping at phantoms.

Not that that ever stopped them. Or the media from swallowing their fantasies whole."
