Opinion: The Democrats’ lethal anti-fascist role-playing needs to end.

Three fundamental truths about Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder cannot be avoided: the mainstream left has labeled him a fascist for ten years, “Antifa” is a national organization that allegedly fights fascism through terror tactics, and the alleged murderer labeled Kirk a fascist on his shell casing.

But since the horrific killing, Democrats and their media allies have created a damning lie that the shooter was a gamer, a right-winger, or someone who was ironic, rather than a leftist.

It is all utter bullshit. Officials confirmed on Saturday that the assassin was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” a fact that became clear just hours after the murder.

OPINION: To honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy, we must respect free speech.

​.

This passage is taken from one of Jonathan Turley’s opinion pieces.

After an extremist’s unimaginable violent attack, the message “Stand with Charlie!” sprang up all over the world. That was not the reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder this week, sorry. It was about the murder of employees of the Paris-based satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo ten years ago. World leaders, including the presidents of France, Germany, and Turkey, participated in a march for free speech in spite of their own speech crackdowns, which had previously targeted the victims and the magazine.

Stéphane Charbonnier, the chief editor, had said, “I would rather die standing than live on my knees,” and she had refused to be silenced by the French government. He was one of the first people killed in the office attack, and the first person the gunmen requested.

I described the astounding hypocrisy in my article at the time, pointing out that one of the magazine’s few remaining editors declined to march with those who relentlessly pursued them through criminal investigations. The censorship laws and the prosecution of opinions deemed inflammatory or hateful were expanded by France, Germany, and other Western governments following the march.

In a final betrayal of the Charlie Hebdo employees’ memory, the French authorities went on to use their own killings as an excuse for more speech-related prosecutions.

There is one crucial difference between Kirk’s Wednesday assassination in the US and this one. There will be no “I am Charlie” campaign on the left. Some have even celebrated the killing while others, mouthing regret, attacked Kirk and suggested that he brought this upon himself.

That is hardly a surprise. Kirk spent his tragically short life exposing the hypocrisy and intolerance of the left, particularly in higher education. They hated him for it. Universities and colleges have long been bastions of the left with the purging of conservative or Republican faculty from most departments and the maintenance of an academic echo chamber in classrooms.

Kirk challenged all that. He drove many mad by inviting them to debate issues. The response was often violence, including the trashing of tables his group, Turning Point USA, set up on campus quads. Ultimately, he was killed for insisting on being heard.

Pastor remembers that Charlie Kirk urged young people to reject hookup culture and “sexual anarchy.”.

​.

Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk said she has been touched by the stories of people who were motivated to pursue marriage and family by him, a principle of his legacy that disapproved of “sexual anarchy” and hookup culture on college campuses, amid the outpouring of support that followed his assassination this week.

Speaking Friday from the desk where her husband hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, she stated, “I’ve heard the testimonies from people my husband inspired to get married, to start families, to seek out a relationship with God.”.

“He wanted you all to experience what he had — and still has,” Kirk added.

Privately, the father of two told her that, if he ever were to decide to run for political office, “his top priority would be to revive the American family. “.

Kirk, 31, a close ally of President Donald Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Regarding the assassination, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been taken into custody.

Kirk cautioned for years about what he called “sexual anarchy,” a rejection of conventional wisdom that he claimed was driven by the left. Kirk gave credit to his friend and pastor David Engelhardt of Kings’ Church in Manhattan for popularizing the phrase in his book “Good Kills,” which reinterprets it as “the motivation to consume for the pleasure of self.”. “.

“Human beings can thrive because of God’s sexual order,” Engelhardt said on Fox News Digital. “When that pattern is broken, chaos ensues. “.

While society tells young people that college is for experimenting sexually, Engelhardt says the church reminds them that such intimacy is not “cheap” and should be valued.

“It’s super valuable because, fundamentally, it’s about the creation of life, and the creation of life is the most important thing we have,” Engelhardt said.

‘Charming, earnest, trusted’: Kirk’s colleagues, friends reflect on an extraordinary American life.

​.

Friends and colleagues of late Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk honored his humble beginning, fierce faith and extraordinary life on the primetime special “Charlie Kirk: An American Original. “.

The program wove their anecdotes with flashbacks of Kirk’s own words, including his recounting of what happened after his dream of going to West Point fell through at age 18.

“I remember that summer of 2012, I had no money, no connections and no idea what I was doing,” Kirk said in a 2018 interview. “But I had relentless energy and a vision, and I was willing to take a risk. Only in America is that possible. “.

He credited his own feeling of “isolation” in high school for what inspired him to start a conservative nonprofit to connect like-minded students, and he went viral for debating students on their campuses around the country.

“When Charlie started out with this, this was never about attention or getting on TV or having a show,” OutKick host Tomi Lahren said. “What he wanted most, was he just wanted to spread the message. “.

“If we took a survey right now of 17-, 18-, 19-, 20-year-olds on college campuses and asked them who were the most influential people in their own education, I would probably put Charlie Kirk against any one of their professors,” Fox News host Will Cain said. x.

U. S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced Saturday that American Airlines pilots involved had been “immediately grounded” and urged their permanent removal.

American Airlines issued a statement saying it “condemns violence of any kind” and that “hate-related or hostile behavior runs contrary to our purpose, which is to care for people on life’s journey. Any such behavior is unacceptable, and we have already initiated action to address this with our team. ”.
