Several months before the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk Wednesday at the University of Utah Valley, the 31 -year -old conservative activist warned his disciples on social networks that “the assassination culture spreads to the left”.
Church shared a message On April 7 on X.com which cited a Fox News digital article on a national study at the national level of the Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) network which revealed that 38% of respondents said that it would be at least “somewhat justified” to assassinate President Donald Trump, and 31% said the same thing about Elon Musk. But the figures increase even more, to 55% for Trump and 48% for Musk, when counting respondents in the left survey.
“The assassination culture spreads to the left. Forty-eight percent of the liberals say that it would at least be somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same thing about Donald Trump,” Kirk wrote in his article on X, citing the report of the NCRI.
“The left is whipped in a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether it is the loss of an election or the loss of a legal case, justifies a maximum violent response.”

Kirk described the violent momentum as “natural outgrowth of the left -wing protest culture”. He accused the culture of tolerating “violence and chaos”, while slamming “cowardice” of local prosecutors and school officials for their complicity in promoting the trend of violent attitudes.
“The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials transformed a time bomb on the left,” Kirk wrote in his post.
In Kirk’s post, he also underlined the fact that California voters were actually praising United Healthcare PDG Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione, appointing a state voting measure after him. His name was the Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act, which sought to make more difficult for medical insurance companies to refuse complaints for treatments or drugs.
Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday, which founded the defense group for conservative defenders of the base, Turning Point USA in 2012, is only the last incident of characters and conservatives targeted with violence. The fatal shooting comes in the middle of a record in the last four years of conservatives and Republicans meeting violence, revealed a digital review of Fox News, including two attempts to assassinate on Trump in a period of two months in 2024.

Earlier this year, the headquarters of the Republican Party of New Mexico faced a criminal fire attack which destroyed the entry of its Albuquerque headquarters, and graffiti who said that “Ice = KKK” was scribbled on the building. In this case, the suspect would also have attacked an exhibition hall from Tesla Albuquerque and would have been struck by federal accusations.
The wave of violent incidents at the beginning of this year targeting owners of Tesla cars, dealers, stations and republicans in general forced certain GOP legislators to cancel public events. Gop Wyoming representative Harriet Hageman was one of these legislators. Her decision was made after an incident during which a participant of one of his town hall followed Hageman when she left and initiated physical confrontation with her staff, ultimately forcing the police to intervene.

They also knocked down the tables and assaulted TPUSA staff, said the group after the incident.
