Top Trump administration officials used Charlie Kirk’s podcast on Monday to threaten a governmental crackdown on left-wing organizations in the name of the slain conservative activist. Administration officials who appeared on the podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, made broad and unsubstantiated claims about their political opponents and alleged that liberal groups were responsible for Mr. Kirk’s death — even though investigators have said they believe that the suspect acted alone.

The sad thing is if even if the shooter was wearing a MAGA hat and was waving a Nazi flag after the shooting, they would still find a way to blame it on the left.

Thats exactly on purpose - facilitate an atmosphere of hate and violence, reap the benefits.

Yep, left right or center. The kids actual political leanings are irrelevant. Fascists are in control, and like all authoritarian groups. It will be pinned on whatever outgroup they deem necessarily. Regardless of the facts

Not just the left, a trans roommate. It's like the junta is ordering off the menu.
