Charley Kirks own words:
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. 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.

The Script:
Older Democrats: ‘Conservatives are literal Nazis, domestic terrorists, & existential threats to democracy’
Younger Leftists: ‘So what you’re saying is, conservatives are literal Nazis, domestic terrorists, & existential threats to democracy?’
Older Democrats: ‘Yes. And we must defeat them by any means necessary’
*Younger Leftist shoots conservative*
Older Democrats: ‘Oh no. Very naughty young person. Political violence very bad. Even if directed towards someone who was, after all, a literal Nazi, domestic terrorist, & existential threat to democracy….’
*repeat, ad infinitum*
