Charlie Kirk was killed by a left that feels entitled to silence its enemies, by any means necessary.

How the ‘hate speech’ conceit fuels political violence - Heather Mac Donald
American conservatives have experienced a range of emotions in recent years, starting with amazement – amazement at the hypocrisy of the left. 
  • How many times have we heard that US president Donald Trump’s attempts to reform universities threaten academic freedom? Many of the people making this accusation have run professors out of town for dissenting from campus orthodoxies, whether regarding ‘systemic racism’ or climate change...
  • When we hear complaints about Trump’s assaults on the press and on the entertainment complex, we recall that the Biden White House pressured social-media companies to censor dissenting views on Covid lockdowns and election integrity. We recall that Disney and NBC fired Gina Carano and Megyn Kelly for their politically incorrect views.
  • How many times has it been said that President Trump is waging a culture war?...
  • When we saw college professors, academic bureaucrats, students and school teachers celebrating the massacre of Israeli civilians on 7 October, where do we find common ground?...
  • But nothing prepared us for the reaction of the left to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 
We face with blank incomprehension the question of how we move forward after what we have learned about our fellow citizens...
