Left celebrations by Charlie Kirk Murder Spark Doftam

After the conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah last week, left -wing personalities and contrary across the country reacted with an open celebration, which caused a widespread public conviction.

Fox News Digital took the floor this week to several experts who have analyzed whether the trend remains a fringe or if the celebrations of deaths and injuries of political opponents become general public.

Paul Sracic is a former policy professor at the Youngstown State University and is currently a deputy scholarship holder of the Hudson Hudson Institute focused on national policy in Washington, DC, he declared that the response depended on his definition of “fringent”.

Sracic said that recent surveys have shown that up to a fifth of self-identified liberals have agreed that political violence was sometimes justified.

“Presumably, most of these very liberal and liberal voters support democrats.

Democratic leaders, as they might think personally, also know that these more energized voters must be attracted to mid-term surveys, whatever the political environment, so that the party has a chance to win part of the federal government, he said.

The representative Andy Barr, R -Ky., Who also presents himself for the Senate seat in the Senateur McConnell Senate, offered another perspective – focusing on the growing trend of political violence against the right.

He quoted the representative Steve Scalizes, R-La., Almost murdered in a ball field in Virginia, two attempts on the life of President Donald Trump and the murder of Kirk.

“Make no mistake – that you stay with President Trump, support Israel or believe in free market capitalism, you are targeted,” said Barr.

“I will work with the Trump administration and provide all the resources necessary to prevent these acts of domestic terrorism before they occur.”

The Democratic strategist and former staff advisor to the Julian Epstein congress argued that several factors stimulate the reaction to the murder of Kirk.

The researchers warn against the rise in “assassination culture” after the murders of Charlie Kirk, Brian Thompson

“The celebration of Kirk’s death on the far left, both on and offline, is far too common and is not sufficiently denounced,” he said. “The minimization of the assassination by the Democratic elites by asserting both sides – and in the case of an ABC journalist, moral relativism – is also too common.”

Epstein warned that the blind use of historically charged terms such as “fascism” radicalized the political bases, and argued that the left does not maintain the call of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“This failure occurred not only with the assassination of Kirk, but also during riots and the scourge of anti-Semitic violence on university campuses and elsewhere in recent years,” he said.

Link Lauren, former advisor to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and animator of the Podcast “Spot On”, said that the trend is no longer a fringe of fringe but more and more common:

“They call us Nazis, fascists and threats to democracy. Following George Floyd, the left burned cities and businesses,” said Lauren.

“Since Charlie’s assassination, the Conservatives have gathered in churches and peaceful prayer. (That) tells you everything you need to know.”

At the Manhattan Institute, Tal Fortgang, sentenced to legal policy, added that political violence is “greater”.

“There is an increasingly common vision among progressives, gaining ground within the Democratic Party as its democratic socialist influence is developing, that terrorism is justified if it evokes the disparities in power,” he said. “So you see eminent democrats minimizing the atrocities of October 7, 2023, on the grounds that Israel was the most powerful party of this fight.”

Fortgang said New York Assembly. Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists in America have increased in importance since Hamas terrorist attacks.

“And, as the star of Mamdani has increased, the premise has the premise that violence is justified if he is someone” helpless “someone” powerful “.”

Fortgang also underlined the comments of democrats like senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts after the murder of a health care leader – a case in which the first suspect was treated as a celebrity outside of his current hearings.

Warren originally said that violence is “never the answer”, with the warning that “people can only be pushed so far … if you push people strong enough, they lose confidence in the ability of their government to make changes”. She later Clarified his remarksDeclaring: “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer than there is never justification for murder.”

Fortgang said that suspect Luigi Mangione “launched a blow against capitalism” and postulated that the alleged murderer of Kirk, Tyler Robinson, had perhaps been motivated by the desire to avenge transphobia.

“Hamas fights colonialism of the colonists when they burn living families. Systemic thinking is dehumanizing, but it has become essentially orthodoxy on the American left,” he said.

“Even if he is not solely responsible for the rise in political violence or its generalized celebration, it helps to support it. This is what the Democratic Party must face.”
