The Left starts talking about its next targets

By BETHANY BLANKLEY | THE CENTER SQUARE

In the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, thousands of social media posts appear to list politically conservative targets for assassination by the political left. 

Those on the list include podcaster Joe Rogan, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, conservative political commentators Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, among others. 

In response to being targeted, Rowling, said, “If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you’re illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you’re a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you’re a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you’re a terrorist.”

Shapiro said, “We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. And we will never let Charlie’s voice die.”

Walsh also said people were sending him screenshots of posted death threats, saying, “A lot of concerned people are sending me these screenshots (and dozens more). I appreciate their concern. But I’m not surprised and I won’t be going into hiding. We have to be louder and bolder now than ever. Or else the demons who killed Charlie win. And they cannot win.” 

A website has also been launched to “Expose Charlie’s Murderers.” It includes statements posted on social media by individuals who allegedly espouse violence as well as those celebrating Kirk’s assassination. 

“We have received nearly 20,000 submissions,” the site says. “This website will soon be converted into a searchable database of all 20,000 submissions, filterable by general location and job industry. This is a permanent and continuously-updating archive of Radical activists calling for violence.” 

The website has posted screenshots of the posts made, the alleged poster’s name, publicly available information about their employer, the company’s name, university or college and other publicly available information like the town and state where they live that the poster made public themselves.  

One post states, “We need to find people with better aim,” implying more politically conservative individuals should be murdered. Others posts state, “God bless the Second Amendment right;” “Are guns an issue now?” with graphic depictions of Kirk’s murder; “White supremacist down,” among others. Many posts refer to Kirk and his followers as “Nazis.” 

According to publicly available social media posts, those making the claims include U.S. military contractor employees; students and faculty from multiple colleges and universities, early childhood teachers and daycare workers, assisted living and senior living facilities employees, city fire department employees, attorneys, a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader; school board members, a U.S. Army career counselor, among thousands more.

Those making the posts appear to be from different economic and racial demographics and appear to identify as the political left. They openly claim to oppose Christianity and support LGBTQ, policies, according to the screenshots of the posts.

Separate from the website, screenshots of social media posts of individuals celebrating Kirk’s assassination are also being posted online. Clemson College Republicans highlighted two professor posts, including since deleted post stating Kirk’s assassination was karma and another saying, “Nigga was worried about DEI and DIED instead.” CCR also posted the phone numbers of the president and deans calling for accountability. The university has yet to issue a statement. 

At Seattle Central College, the directive, “Kill All Charlie Kirks” was spray-painted on a college sign and an image of Kirk being killed was posted on a message board stating, “debate this.” Political commentator Sarah Stock said, “Not only are leftists gleefully celebrating Charlie’s murder, they are now using it to incite violence against conservative college students. This is political terrorism.”

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said at a news conference that authorities found shell casings with several inscriptions, including, “Hey fascist, Catch!” and “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao,” referring to a song used by resistance fighters in Italy during World War II.

Cox has described Kirk’s murder as a political assassination and is working to ensure his killer receives the death penalty. 

On Friday morning, he announced that Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, had been apprehended, The Center Square reported.

Online threats made about conservatives and public figures have been reported to law enforcement.  

By contrast to the hatred spewed online, pastors are calling Americans to prayer, hoping Kirk’s death is a “catalyst to return America to a people of Godly values,” The Center Square reported.

  1. Many on the left are in full support of Hamas and the Palestinians who support Hamas, many only coming to their cause after October 7th, 2023. Historically the left is where political assassin’s find a home, it is more of a feature of leftist than a bug because the ends justify the means to fundamentalist fanatics. People who believe in freedom, liberty, and justice believe that others are entitled to their views so long as their views do not include death sentences on those they disagree with…this is anathema to leftist thought because to disagree with leftist doctrine is unthinkable. History is repleat with examples of how leftist doctrine always attempts to permanently silence opposing views.

    I would like for those holding leftist views to become educated so they can see the death and destruction their worldview has wrought upon the world, I didn’t follow Charlie Kirk or hear him speak but from what I’ve heard since he was murdered he wanted the same.

  2. This ‘sickness’ we are now dealing with is showing its true character … evil and demonic. As this continues to play out, extra vigilance is necessary to minimize another travesty. I wholeheartedly believe Freedom and Liberty will win the course, as better days are ahead, but there sure seems to be a lot of these evil – demonic people around us and in our society.

  3. I’m old enough to remember when there were some Democrats who were honorable people.
    People I disagreed with, but they hadn’t lost their humanity.
    But now…..I tell people that the modern Democrat party is a death cult, made up largely or entirely of psychopaths.
    They seem hell bent on proving me correct…..they celebrate evil, hate God, worship at the altar of millions of dead babies,
    and gleefully celebrate the slaughter of anyone with views opposing theirs.
    Everything they call us, is the opposite of the truth, making every accusation a confession…

  4. Leftists and even democrats have a tainted history . They are technical terrorists as proven by Killing Charlie and their development of the kuklux klan . They are
    anti freedom slavers as proven by their adherence and fight for slavery . They fought to the death in part to keep slaves. Thats twisted as it gets. The democrats violently supported segregation even into the 60s . Using violence against the blacks and the republicans . Beatings lynchings and running them out of town in attempt to eliminate republican voters and political leaders.
    Leftists murdered Abraham lincoln .
    Now they have proven the same emotional standard by murdering another champion of Freedom – Charlie Kirk –
    May god rest this brave mans soul.

  5. Scripture said “the Evil one prowls the earth looking for whom he can devour, destroy, and kill” there is always going to be someone hurting so bad as Charlie Kirk’s shooter who will be vulnerable to be used just like Jesus’ betrayer Judas. Both people were so weak they wanted to eliminate themselves after the event when they realized what they just did.
    Its why as Christian we must pray not only for ourselves and family like praying for our children and spouses but also for our community like Anchorage but also the Christian has to know how to pray, stay in God’s Word, and to keep himself clean and know how to use fasting as the Spirit leads one into using fasting to make yourself cleaner especially when you are asking for big things like Revivals such as: a prodigal child coming back to you, a challenging spouse you want saved, or an entire community that is on the verge of dying you want them to know the peace in your heart, to experience the Joy you have, understand the forgiveness of Christ for them and others and know his love for you and others, recieve his compassion and know his patience for us and in all our shortcomings.
