Is "the left" more, less, or equally responsible for Kirk's murder compared to "the right"'s responsibility for Melissa Hortman's murder?

  The right has been pushing that agenda since the days of the John Birch society. But there is a lot more evidence that Trump and his supporters are fascists than there is for the vast left-wing conspiracy of violence they think ordered a hit on Charlie Kirk (probably from Hunter Biden's laptop.)

  Welp, it's looking like they aren't wrong. Explain how you would react if Biden or Harris or somebody named Clinton said this, rather than Trump: President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that networks should lose their broadcast licenses if their on-air talent is critical of him. “They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One when asked if Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr should go after other talk show hosts after Jimmy Kimmel was suspended from the air. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.” [1] Congress and the courts can put a stop to this the easy way right now, or We The People can put a stop to it the hard way later. I know which path I'd prefer.

> Is "the left" more, less, or equally responsible for Kirk's murder The real question is how did Jimmy become so sure it was a maga trumper. His quote: > MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them Indicates it's not just a "maybe", "wouldn't be nice if it was..." it indicates he was pretty sure. So I am curious where did that originate. The clues like the markings on the bullets kind of point the other way. So did someone deliberately feed him bad news to make him look bad? Or just an innocent social media broken telephone scenario: "wouldn't be nice if ...", becomes "I bet that ..." which turns into "it's that..." and ends up with "we definitely know that ..." and then Kimmel picks up and bam! gets fired.

  That quote doesn't assert the killer was anything - it's a statement on the perceived actions and motivations of the "MAGA gang".
