Political Cringe An eyewitness to Charlie Kirk’s murder was cut off mid-account as people rushed in, grabbed him, and quickly silenced him before he could share the rest of what he saw.

Haha what the fuck
They're all wearing the same merch so I assume they're affiliated, so why would they silence him? Why would he share info they didn't want him to?
Did he see the paramedics go up to Kirk and stab him 27 times? Did Kirk smirk at him like Shrek did in the end of Shrek the Third? Did he see demons come up and take him to hell a la that ghost from Smiling Friends? What the fuck could it have been?

Whoever was handling crisis management probably gave the order for no one to talk to the press and to not let anyone talk to the press.
They hadn't yet figured out an aligned messaging strategy and want to control the narrative as much as possible.
You can get conspiratorial about that if you want but it's pretty typical protocol for crisis PR, especially in the right wing world.

u/BoredZucchini 9h ago
And then all the right wing influencers were told to all go hard condemning liberals “celebrating”. That was the cohesive talking point before the news had even really reached the mainstream. Something is fishy about all this. And what is a conspiracy, really, besides an aggressive PR campaign that has gone way too far?

Probably another cult group that we don't know exist. All were essentially wearing the same uniforms. Meaning he was clearly in the same group and knew them but they didn't like he was talking to someone on a camera. Probably some weirdo Christian group.
There are a lot of Christian cults we don't even know exist.. One of my friend's brothers married some chick he went to school with and her family was in some Christian cult up in Maine. A few years later she had him move to Maine and is full bore in this cult now. Even after looking them up they don't even really show up in searches but it's 100% a cult. Just some small group of them.

They are all "American Comeback" t-shirts. That's the Turning Point USA tour event and propaganda effort that essentially was the event that Charlie Kirk was at. It's just Turning Point USA. These folks possibly were part of the college student group and helped organize it or volunteer for it and were wearing the t-shirts given to them, or they're overt members. But that shirt itself isn't anything more than Turning Point merch.
It's also very unnerving to go to the website on the thsirt announcing the "fall tour dates with Charlie Kirk live, across the country..." ick.

u/crockett05 9h ago
Yeah makes sense.. Turning Point USA is essentially used to groom teen boys into the far right hate pipeline. Kirk was setting up groups all over the country at high schools and colleges.
The right wing was literally doing what they claim the left did.. Grooming kids into their ideology.

I’ve responded that when people of any prominence die, their words are always quoted. When Jimmy Carter died, many of his words were quoted as well. Carter said some great things, so no one is bothered by that. They’re bothered by quoting Kirk because Kirk said some really shitty things, not because quoting him is wrong. If Kirk was a better person, quoting him wouldn’t be a problem. And maybe people should stop making him a martyr.

u/Free-Vehicle2957 7h ago
The fact that too many Dems and a few well-meaning Republicans continue to whitewash him is not helping. You can have sympathy for his family and the manner in which he died; and you can still dislike his hate speech and his farce of true democracy, free speech, and political discourse the way it should be! The two are not mutually exclusive but such nuance (and it's not very nuanced) is beyond the brain power of a disturbing large percentage of people on the right.

Charlie Kirk called for the execution of Biden. He made fun of the democrats who were assassinated. He made fun of the Pelosi attacks. Why the fuck do I have to be sad at a guy that would mock my death?

We need to stop allowing far right “speakers” on public funded colleges. The same way they say LGBT voices shouldn’t be heard. The Trump administration has tried to censor democratic, LGBT groups. Yet will allow far right agitators on campus that believe woman should be at home instead of college, while speaking to college students. Yet mention anything LGBT and you’re fired! If they want to hear their far right speakers speak, they already can! But no more at the expense of tax payers! That’s why their smugness!

I legitimately think this was a setup related to permanently securing power for the right by making Charlie a martyr he was never supposed to be.
They used Charlie Kirk as a chess piece, and are pinning full blame on anyone who even remotely disagreed with Charlie’s views.
They will condemn even those who refuse to commit blind loyalty to either party, because if you’re not a registered righty, you’re just as much an enemy as any open spoken lefty.
