The left doesn’t hate Charlie Kirk… because it has become clear that they have no idea who he is and what he stood for. They hate the caricature they created of him.

[Chad Prather @WatchChad]

Good morning.

The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.

The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.

The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.

That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.

So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.

Love y’all.

I legitimately don't know how to come together in unity with a group of people that would prefer me and all people like me are dead.

🚨BREAKING: Employees at Vanity Fair say they will WALK OUT if Melania Trump is put on the cover.

One editor said " I will walk out the mother fing door and half of my staff will follow me!"

What's your response to this?

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, killed him because he hated his opinions and thought he was a fascist. Yet ironically, HE was the fascist, killing someone to silence their opposing views.
The woke left love to say ‘speech is violent.’
It’s not - violence is.

I didn't really know anything about Charlie Kirk

Until this week Kirk was a name and face I would occasionally see someone retweet on here and I would scroll past. I'd seen 2 or 3 short videos taken from Tiktok of him debating some low IQ college student but that was it.

I'm generally not interested in MAGA. I broadly believe in many of their goals, but find much of the rhetoric and policy implementation to be self defeating. To me Kirk was another Ben Shapiro or Tim Pool. All MAGA, all the time.

Immediately following his shooting my shock was political and societal. Another step down in what seems to be the never ending descent of American, and thus Western, society. Another sad day for free speech, no matter what you thought of the man's politics.

Then in the following hours my timeline was filled with videos of Kirk as a father, and my heart broke. I saw a man that was clearly devoted to his family and who loved them, and was loved in return, a great deal. I felt that love forever torn apart. I saw a daughter that would never run to her father and wrap her arms around him again.

The following day I saw more videos on here, and out of respect and curiosity I watched them all. Maybe they would make some sense of why someone felt the need to end this man's life and rob his children of a father. They did not.

Contrary to the tweets spreading through X as some kind of justification, what I found was a man who was deeply religious. I man that had a true belief system, and not one that he bent or shaped to fit to modern society. For example. he absolutely believed that homosexuality was a sin because that was what the bible told him, but he did not hate or think less of those people. Many of his close friends such as Peter Thiel and David Rubin were gay.

What I see when I watch the videos of Kirk is a fan of deep faith who put that faith above everything else. I see a man who treated everyone with compassion and civility. I see a man that was friendly and open and honest.

Honestly, I see a man that is braver and better than I. Not because he put himself in danger by wanted to talk to people, but by handing himself completely over to a belief system that I've never been able to get my head around. Like many of us, the idea is alien to me.

I can't say I don't watch his videos with a tinge of jealousy. What I see is a man who was completely happy. A man confident in his faith and who led his life accordingly. A man who not just believed, but acted on his belief.

At a time when so many people seem empty and depressed, it's hard not to be a little jealous of a person that seemed so fulfilled.

With this in mind, it's been incensing to see him slandered on here by people without any of the faith and none of the commitment. To see people take the man's faith and turn it into something twisted and hateful.

I knew nothing of the man in life, but I will try to listen to him more in death.

[Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis]

You wanted this. You don’t get to back away now.

[One Bad Dude @OneBadDude_]

Amen 🙏

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

I'd say Stephen King should be ashamed of himself, but what's the point?

[Whitney Cummings @WhitneyCummings]

If you are happy someone was publicly executed because they don’t share your beliefs congrats you’re the Taliban

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

You are a horrible, evil, twisted liar.

No, he did not.

Your party—which you shamelessly shilled for—sent $100 billion to the Ayatollah… who does routinely murder homosexuals.

Why are you so dishonest & filled with hate?

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

I’m so shocked by the huge quantity of social media posts and clips of woke left fanatics gleefully celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. It’s so brazen, so dehumanised, so disgusting.
What the f*ck is wrong with these people? Elon Musk is right - wokeism is an insidious virus.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

Spot the difference…

Charlie Kirk vigil vs George Floyd riot

We are not the same.

[Tanner Guzy @tannerguzy]

This is how 9/11 felt.

You knew something just shifted and the old world was gone.

[Chris Barron 🇺🇸 @ChrisRBarron]

I am gay and I can say without hesitation that you are the bigot, not Charlie.

[Larry Cook @stopvaccinating]

Admittedly, I never really followed Charlie nor even knew who he was - I just knew the name and that he was conservative.

Now I’ve watched multiple videos and read dozens of first hand interactions with him.

He had the capacity move an entire nation to freedom!!!

Now it makes sense why the Evil Doers assassinated him, PUBLICLY. To send shockwaves through our collective consciousness that TRUTH will not be tolerated.

I hope and pray that his death becomes a catalyst for everyone to get involved in this fight against the Evil Doers running this planet, and that we take them down once and for all.

Rest in peace Charlie.

[Grummz @Grummz]

There is no confirmation the shooter was on the Left.

But there is plenty of confirmation that the Left loves the shooter.

[Peachy Keenan @KeenanPeachy]

It's an old cliche by now, but everyone knows you can't wear a MAGA hat in a blue city. Everyone knows you might get assaulted, killed, or at the very least screamed at, spit on, your car keyed.

Conservatives in LA are very careful never to put political stickers on their cars or hang Trump flags on their homes. If you do, you are risking death, violence, getting swatted.

But if you wore a Kamala or Hillary hat in a red city all you would get are eye rolls.

This has been the case for a decade now. Liberals have never been asked to explain this. Everyone accepts this as just part of life in blue cities -- zero tolerance for political differences.
