In light of The disregard for human life that the USA is playing in the brutal slaughter of people in the Middle East is creating a killing backlash by its own citizens. If the government can do it why can’t I.

This would have never happened if kirk admitted to the fact that lebron is the goat
What happens when Republicans have kids that can learn? Trump hotel with Tesla Truck: Republican and military. Trump ear: Republican family with Trump signs on the lawn.
He wasn't assasinated, he was killed.
Good one less garbage in this world
Supporting Genicite and Pedofila. Slebrating genocide of millons Palastinians. President Pedofila speaking
The shooter name is Tyler Robinson:
Mormon
2nd amendment supporter
Trump supporter
Republican
I don't understand why right wing people are making such a fuss instead of just sending thoughts and prayers like they usually do.
Why was it not breaking news last night when they brought him in unbelievable
Why is this shooting being referred to as an assassination while the Minnesota killings were called a shooting. To me it making Kirk more important than the Hortmans. No one should be shot for their beliefs.
YOUR NEWS CHANNEL HELPED CAUSE THIS !
Mike Johnson, guns and violence are who you are.
Kirk killed in shooting. News. Children shot to the death. Silence.
He who lives with sword dies by the sword.
RIP Kirk! Justice will be served!
Thats a thousand people who tried o save his life
I knew that msnbc viewers would have the most depraved or the most dismissive takes on this. Disgusting but unsurprising for this degenerate network.
REMEMBER THE LIES https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk
Murdered not assassinated. The children who were shot in school, later, by someone who believed charlie kirk's stance on "prudent gun violence " ,were murdered, too.
Some posts make it seem like poor Charlie deserved what happened to him, just because he supported the right to bear arms & the constitution. Those who think this way are fools! He was a good man. My deepest condolences to his lovely wife Erika & his two children. God rest his soul. Turning Point is a good organization & even though Charlie is now gone, I hope it continues. I personally have a CWP & love my little snub nose 38. God bless America & Charlie Kirk. 🙏 R.I.P.
