The left's lies about Charlie Kirk
We’re now approaching the first week of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And the Left has put out, I would call them, a series of lies or untruths that are trying to confuse the American people about what happened on that Utah campus.
Let’s do No. 1. They say this is the “conservatives’ George Floyd moment.”
It is not a George Floyd moment. In 2020, after the death of George Floyd, Antifa and Black Lives Matter led five months of violent protests: 35 people killed; 1,500 police officers injured; historic church, torched; police precinct, torched; federal courthouse, torched. In addition to that, we had 1,500 officers injured, $2 billion of property damage, arson, looting, violence. Tried to rush President Donald Trump in the White House and tried to get him on the grounds and sent him to the White House bunker.
That didn’t happen after the death of Charlie Kirk. All people did was try to double down on his efforts. They tried to subscribe, in great numbers, to Turning Point USA. They talked about registering to vote. But it was all peaceful and calm. It was not anything like George Floyd.
No. 2: George Floyd should not have died in police custody.
I’m not going to assess that blame one way or the other. And that was a tragedy that he died. But Charlie Kirk was not anything like George Floyd.
George Floyd was an eight-time career criminal. Eight times he had been convicted of crimes. He was a prison convict. He staged a home invasion robbery and put a knife at the abdomen of the occupant, a young woman.
George Floyd would’ve been fine if he had not been trying to pass counterfeit currency. That’s the only reason he had the encounter with the police. The store owner was scared that this stranger came in, was passing fake bills. They called the police.
He had a second chance. All he had to do was obey the police and get in the car and go to the police station. There would’ve been no problem. He was on amphetamines. He was on fentanyl. He had a COVID-19 disease. He had not been a good father.
Charlie Kirk had never been involved with law enforcement in a negative fashion. He had two kids. He had a wonderful wife. He had a stable family. He was just the antithesis of George Floyd. There was nothing at all similar.
A third lie about the passing of Charlie Kirk as well: This was a Right-on-Right violence because Tyler Robinson, the assassin, came from a Mormon family. And even his trans, transitioning boyfriend/girlfriend that he lived with, he too/she too was from a Mormon—that’s about as close as you can get to that untruth.
In fact, he took the effort to scrawl on the cartridges of the shells that he intended to kill Charlie Kirk—and one did. He had—what did he have on it? He had Antifa logos. Both in Italian and English. He had trans messaging. He was, on record, on a trans chat site, a group of radical people talking about—people were talking about, joking about killing Charlie Kirk.
People who knew him said that he was obsessed with the upcoming arrival of Charlie Kirk, that he damned him at a family dinner. People who knew him said that he was bragging what a great shot he was and how far Left he was.
...
Charlie Kirk was not remotely like George Floyd. Floyd was a career criminal, and Kirk was not remotely a criminal. The fact that the assassin was from a Mormon family looks irrelevant.
