Charlie Kirk’s Murder: MAGA’s Blame Game Hits War Mode
In the post-Charlie Kirk assassination theater, MAGA immediately blamed 'they,' a shadowy horde apparently led by 'the other side.' Yet Karl Rove, ex-Bush deputy, steps in declaring, 'One person did it,' breaking MAGA's scapegoat bingo. The assailant, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, now facing the death penalty, allegedly acted alone — but Stephen Miller insists 'terrorist networks' lurk somewhere, keeping DOJ and DHS busy identifying phantom foes. Meanwhile, Trump pins blame on leftist rhetoric like a lifelong jilted boyfriend blaming heartbreak for his crime spree. Funeral preps feature Trump and top Republicans aiming for 'mutual respect'—we'll see if they can pause the political Twitter battles. Even late-night TV and airline workers risk pink slips for criticizing Kirk, while ex-Fox star Tucker Carlson calls DOJ's hate speech crackdown a 'lie.' Welcome to democracy, where civility demands occasionally ignoring everyone yelling at each other.
