Omar: I Shared Video Blaming Kirk for His Own Death Because I Agreed with ‘a Lot‘ in It

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) stated that she reposted a video saying Charlie Kirk was Dr. Frankenstein and assassinated by his own monster “Because there were a lot of things in the video that I did agree with. Obviously, we share videos, we don’t have to agree with every single word, but I do believe he was a reprehensible, hateful man.”

Reflections on the Coming Days of Rage

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was already positively impacting the world with his indefatigable, peaceful, joyful, godly work to change hearts and minds, but in mere days, his assassination by a cowardly sniper’s bullet has already launched a tsunami of change he likely could not have imagined. The world is entering a different epoch now, and as with all shifts into a new age, there will be birthing pains.

AOC tears into ‘uneducated’ and ‘ignorant’ Charlie Kirk in abhorrent speech amid claims she’s preparing to run for PRESIDENT

Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into Charlie Kirk during a speech on Capitol Hill after Congress voted to honor the late conservative activist.

The House passed a resolution to honor Kirk and his legacy on Friday. It received broad bipartisan support, passing 310 – 58, with Democratic leadership voting for it.

AOC, along with other ‘Squad’ members, Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., voted against the measure.

NPR: We Don’t Know If Tyler Robinson Was Left-Wing

Tyler Robinson was Antifa, into alphabet ideology, had a furry boyfriend, and hated Charlie Kirk. He inscribed Antifa messages on his bullets and all his friends and family said he had veered far left over the past few years.

But National Public Radio can’t detect a political motive for his assassination of Charlie Kirk because we don’t know what he thought about labor issues and immigration policy.

The Dangerous Celebration of Luigi Mangione

It’s his admirers’ adulation, not the court’s decision to toss first-degree murder charges, that should concern us most.

Luigi Mangione appeared to get off easy on Tuesday. The judge overseeing his New York State prosecution tossed first-degree murder charges against Mangione, who stands accused of shooting health-care executive Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Outside, scores of adoring onlookers cheered for the apparent murderer.

STUDY: Kimmel’s Demise Began Before Infamous Comments

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension was his own fault. The ABC late night host’s mean-spirited commentary disguised as comedy drove conservatives away. Kimmel was completely unconcerned with this development, but his desire to turn his show into a liberal echo chamber might prove to be his downfall because when he claimed that conservatives were desperately trying to “characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” ABC felt they had no choice but to take him off the air.

Nearly 100 House Dems Refuse to Support Resolution Condemning Political Violence

The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday condemning political violence and honoring Charlie Kirk, but nearly a hundred Democrats refused to support it. The final tally was 310-58, with every Republican voting in favor and 96 Democrats either voting against it or refusing to take a stand at all by voting present. That raw number is impossible to ignore: Close to 100 Democrats balked at denouncing political violence when the resolution also praised Kirk’s legacy.

How comedy became the crucible for America’s freedom of speech wars

For years the US Left insisted that you could cancel people for what they said. Now they’re not so sure

There has been no shortage of Democrat leaders and supporters criticising the decision by ABC, the Disney-owned American broadcaster, to take Jimmy Kimmel off air after he made jokes about the response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

The likes of actor-director Ben Stiller, Hacks star Jean Smart and Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, have warned that the removal of Kimmel from his late-night talk show was yet another example of Donald Trump trampling over Americans’ constitutional right to free speech.

Unfunny TV hosts back Kimmel as Trump threatens TV networks

America’s late-night TV hosts have rallied behind fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel after he was suspended by ABC in a row over comments he made about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Stephen Colbert began his show by saying “we are all Jimmy Kimmel”, and said the star’s removal was a “blatant assault on freedom of speech”.

Seth Meyers declared it was “a privilege and honour to call Jimmy Kimmel my friend”, while Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon tackled the free speech issue by doing satirical sketches in which they were apparently forced to praise Donald Trump.


This is a good antidote to what is a steaming pile of BBC bias.

Dozens of workers disciplined after Charlie Kirk shooting, from journalists to Jimmy Kimmel

White liberal and a little rent-a-mobby looking

In the aftermath of far-right activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination, dozens across the United States have been fired, suspended or disciplined over social media posts about Kirk and his death, as employers and public officials crack down on remarks they deem “inappropriate”.

After Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on 10 September while speaking at Utah Valley University, members of the Trump administration called on the public to expose anyone appearing to be “celebrating” his killing.

“Call them out, and hell, call their employer,” JD Vance said. “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility.”

This is a Guardian piece, consider yourselves warned.


Good Old AOC …

The US media’s big lie about Charlie Kirk is chillingly predictable

“Elinor agreed to it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition.” – Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

Austen’s heroine, Elinor Dashwood, was listening to a relative talk rubbish she felt wasn’t worth her time to rebut. These days, it seems difficult to convince anyone to change their mind, so many of us have simply given up and retreated to our bubbles of friends and friendly media.

Charlie Kirk, however, was willing to talk to anyone. His signature event was an open-mic debate with all comers on the campus of an American university, nearly all of which are dominated by Left-wing group-think.

Say it ain’t so Jimmy!

Nolte: Unrepentant Jimmy Kimmel Reportedly ‘F**king Livid,’ Eager to Break ABC Contract

Reports are surfacing that former comedian Jimmy Kimmel is “fucking livid” over the suspension of his basement-rated late-night show, a suspension that will likely turn into cancellation.

Kimmel is also talking about — tee hee — breaking his contract with ABC.

… ABC/Disney cancelled Roseanne Barr, Tim Allen, and Gina Carano over much less.

As has been speculated Kimmel’s employers were happy to have been provided an excuse to wash their hands of a ratings disaster.

It’s Deeper Than Mental Illness

Maybe you spent time last week perusing X postings related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Aside from the many accolades, conservative influencers did fine jobs identifying left-wingers who not only celebrated Kirk’s assassination, but offered attaboys to Tyler Robinson, the triggerman. Some even called for more violence. If you didn’t have time earlier, scroll through the Libs of TikTok’s and the Vigilant Fox’s threads, for starters. You’ll get an eyeful. “Somebody had to do it” wasn’t an uncommon refrain. Who, this side of hell, delights in an act of murder?


And the media …

Charlie’s death reveals media’s worst

Originally, today’s newsletter was supposed to be about cartoonist Chip Bok screwing up with his political cartoon about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. My goodness you don’t depict a man having his head blown off.

I will get to that later in the newsletter, but Jimmy Kimmel had to make an ass of himself by mocking the reaction of MAGA and President Trump to Charlie’s death.

How bad was it, Donnie?
