General Discussion

The Governor of Utah is not an honest man. At the press conference, he spoke of the sacredness of Christianity, and he praised the virtues of Charlie Kirk. He said Thursday's act was one of political hate.

In answer to a question, the Governor referred to the bullet casing inscription which reads, "Fascist Catch," which he suggested means, "Hey fascist, catch this bullet." To me, the Governor was implying that the actor was from the left and killed Charlie Kirk because he resented the fact that Kirk stood with the political conservatives who have been criticized by liberals for having fascist inclinations.

The truth seems to me, at this point at least, to be that the actor was from the extreme far right (think Nick Fuentes and the Groypers). The actor was fascinated by the video game culture in which players in some games refer to their opponents by the catch-all term "fascists."

At the end of the press conference, the Governor left hanging in the the air the implication that Thursday's shooter was a liberal.
