One might expect the Left, which so often brands itself as the champion of love and tolerance, to extend sympathy and solidarity even toward those with whom it disagrees after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Yet recent events reveal that this claim rings hollow.
An adjunct professor at New York University wrote that “MAGAS” are “liars” and “should be excluded from public discourse,” The College Fix reported.
‘LOVE TRUMPS HATE,’ DEMOCRATS’ IRONIC MESSAGING
The post received comments from supporters, who added that Kirk was the “cause” of the shooting, not the victim. But his post, and the replies, are not isolated incidents.
“Kill all Charlie Kirks” was spray-painted on a sign in Seattle Central College, which goes to show that leftists hate and their calls for murder have only intensified throughout college campuses.
Overseas, George Abaraonye, president of the student union at the University of Oxford, publicly called the Right “cancers” that must be removed “by any means necessary.”
Abaraonye was elected to his seat by a wide margin and previously debated Kirk at the university in May.
Now, these remarks do not come as a surprise. As seen last week, we already know that Western academia has fallen victim to the Left’s radicalization tactics. However, the fact that these remarks have been mirrored beyond the boundaries of American college campuses is alarming.
Fiona Wild, a local elected official in England, championed his death, saying “good riddance,” and implied that more acts of violence against Kirk’s supporters should follow.
The nightmare then worsens, as the Left has begun to go after those who survived Kirk, including his wife, Erika.
Pakistani-American writer Wajahat Ali took shots at Erika Kirk, stating she will now promote “Kirk’s vehicle of hate.”
“Erika Kirk is using her husband’s death to promote Kirk’s vehicle of hate, Turning Points USA. Fascinating to watch this right now,” the failed political commentator wrote on X.
“Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons,” he added in another post.
Social media is riddled with similar remarks from liberals who claim Kirk had his days counted.
Other remarks, such as those made by Democratic activist Rebekah Jones, a former government employee in Florida and self-proclaimed “famed government whistleblower,” shifted the blame from the Left’s hateful narrative to the conservative movement, inferring that the Left is the true victim of the murder of a conservative figure.

“Save your sympathies for the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of MAGA’s violent political messaging machine,” Jones wrote.
These remarks have made it clear that the Left will not hold back on the opportunity to spin a tragedy into a message to recruit hate-filled members to its hate-filled movement.
