In the aftermath of the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk, a young man of deep faith, devotion to his wife, dedicated father and patriot of America, the left again has exposed themselves. 

Many Democratic leaders, who have been calling President Donald Trump and his supporters Nazis and fascists for more than a decade, are attempting to wash their hands clean with a bogus "both sides argument."

During a press conference Friday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed that the scum who killed Charlie had become "more political" in recent years. That he talked about Charlie with family members and "didn't like him" or "his beliefs." That led to the etching of "Catch this, fascist" being carved into the bullet casing that the pathetic coward would utilize to end Charlie's life. Not through debate and words, but with the most horrific violence and permanent consequence.

When the news of Charlie's death hit the Internet, decent people became overwhelmed with grief and sorrow. The demonic left started celebrating. Not just bottom-dwelling trolls on the internet, but professors at major academic institutions, social workers, doctors, nurses, teachers and others technically part of our "civil society."

This anti-American venom has spread to our previously most trusted and fundamental institutions, with cheers from a Secret Service agent and inside the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard.

"It is unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American. The Department of War has zero tolerance for it," the Department of War responded, with Secretary Pete Hegseth vowing accountability.

These aren't cherry-picked examples.

"Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy," Charlie warned us in April, citing a report from the Network Contagion Research Institute. "Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb."

According to YouGov, "77% of Republicans believe it is always unacceptable to feel joy at the death of someone they oppose, while only 38% of Democrats share this view."

It's not "the fringes" of the left. This is the left. There is one consistently violent side. Their side.

They hated Charlie because he convinced millions of young people that love, not hate, faith in God, not the state, family, not isolation or loneliness, was the way to a good life. He knew the United States of America, the ultimate land of opportunity, was the best place on earth to embrace these ideals. He was reversing the left's revolution to tear down America. 

And while there is much hate, with dancing demons seemingly around every corner, millions of Americans and people around the world not only loved Charlie, they pray for him. They believe in the God given principles that he did. Demons cannot reach into Heaven. You cannot kill off prayers, and our love for him will live on forever.

The left needs some deep soul searching – if their souls remain at all.
