On Friday, we found out that the
left-wing assassin of
Charlie Kirk scrawled “Hey fascist! Catch!” on a shell casing in his rifle, using
the same rhetoric that Democrats have used for years to dehumanize
and smear conservatives.
But instead of apologizing or toning down the language that motivated Kirk’s
killer, many Democrats have excused or justified his murder:
- Minnesota
Rep. Ilhan
Omar blamed Kirk for his murder and reposted a
video calling him a "terrorist."
- Indiana Rep.
Andre
Carson refused to fire or even condemn the remarks of a
staffer who wrote that Kirk is a "casualty of the violence he
incited."
- Union
County, North Carolina Democrat Party Chair Parron
Baxter posted "There is absolutely a price for being a
fascist. … We must mock them and dance on their graves."
- Roy
Cooper – Democrats’ nominee for Senate in the state – has failed to
condemn Baxter’s statement.
- The
Stanislaus County, California Democrat Party refused
to attend a joint vigil for Kirk with the local Republican
Party, instead saying Kirk was affiliated with “fascist” ideology.
- Reps.
Josh Harder and Adam Gray – who represents Stanislaus County – have both
failed to condemn this statement.
- The Simsbury,
Connecticut Democrat Party said Kirk "got exactly what
he deserves."
- A staffer
for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger posted
“F around and find out. His entire brand was hate and violence; you
attract what you preach.”
- Chesterfield,
Virginia School Board member Dot
Heffron – whose
endorsement Spanberger proudly accepted - posted that “we
used to be okay with shooting Nazis.”
- Spanberger
has failed to condemn either person’s comments.
- Monroe
Falls, Ohio Council Vice President John
Impellizzari said, “The world is a better place now that he’s
gone.”
- Minnesota
State Senator Erin
Maye Quade called Kirk a "racist" and "white
nationalist" who "radicalized Trump supporters to
violence."
- Illinois
Governor JB
Pritzker blamed President Trump for Kirk’s murder.
- Texas Rep. Jasmine
Crockett said it was fine to call Republicans Nazis: "Me
calling you a 'wannabe Hitler' all those things are like not necessarily
saying 'Go out and hurt somebody.'"
- Nancy
Pelosi refused to "take
responsibility" for any rhetoric that motivated the killer.
- California
State Senator Scott
Wiener said Kirk "was a vile bigot who did immeasurable
harm to so many."
So far this year, Democrats
have mocked
prayer after a vicious attack on Christian students, cheered
on far-left mobs attacking law enforcement agents in LA, and demanded a
surge in violence against law enforcement across the country.
As Vice President JD Vance said yesterday,
"If we want to stop political violence like what happened to Charlie Kirk,
we have to be honest about the people who are celebrating it."
