In reply to the discussion: Trump threatens to come after liberals over the Charlie Kirk murder. [View all]kwolf68

OK, fair play ONE CAN speculate Kirk was shot because someone hated what he said or stood for, but we DO NOT KNOW yet that is the real motive. Of course, the idiot Republicans actually tried to link the assassin in Minnesota last year -who killed Democratic politicians-to Tim Walz. So not a shock they immediately claim this guy in Utah is a Liberal. At least there is more reason to speculate it in this case, but it's STILL NOT an empirical fact.
Maybe this gunman hated Kirk's stance on the Epstein files, maybe Kirk flipped him off during a bought of road rage, maybe Kirk slept with his wife, ran over his dog. WE DO NOT KNOW.
In the end, perhaps Charlie Kirk is our modern-day Reichstag Fire. That event was used to go after the far left at the time. And here we have Trump using Kirk's killing as a possible reason to go after the left. Hmmm.

How about releasing the Epstein files? It's what Charlie Kirk was calling for before he died!

Am kinda worried that box office appeal is needed as they seem to have tech bros who can deal with ballot counting
