The assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative leader and founder of Turning Point USA, represents a devastating act of political violence fueled by the very hatred that the right has consistently warned against. This was not an isolated incident, but the horrific culmination of years of incendiary rhetoric and dehumanization directed at conservatives and supporters of President Donald Trump by the radical left and its megaphone, the liberal media. They created the environment where such a heinous act could be conceived and executed.
In the wake of this tragedy, the predictable and morally bankrupt response from the left was not introspection or condemnation, but an immediate, cowardly retreat to a false equivalence. Liberal commentator Jessica Tarlov attempted to deflect blame from the singular ideology that produced Kirk’s assassin by invoking the tired and intellectually dishonest “both sides” argument. This is a deliberate tactic to obfuscate the truth and dilute the severity of the left’s responsibility, a strategy long employed to avoid accountability for the consequences of their own violent rhetoric.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld immediately and righteously eviscerated this pathetic attempt at moral relativism on live television. He gave voice to the fury and frustration of millions of Americans who are sick of the excuses. “We don’t care about your ‘both sides’ argument. That shit is dead!” Gutfeld shouted, cutting through the disingenuous narrative. This powerful rebuke was a direct repudiation of a media establishment that is complicit in fostering the very division and hatred that led to a young man being gunned down for his beliefs.
Gutfeld correctly identified the core issue: the left’s fundamental detachment from reality, which forces them to invent rationalizations rather than confront the monstrous actions of their own side. “On your side, your beliefs do not match reality so you’re coming up with these rationalizations. ‘What about this, what about that?’ We are not doing that because we saw it happen. We saw a young bright man assassinated and we know who did it!” This statement underscores a critical turning point; conservatives are no longer willing to engage in a debate where one side is operating in good faith and the other is providing cover for political violence.

The conservative movement is now unified in its rejection of a corrupt and morally bankrupt media apparatus that has blood on its hands. As Gutfeld declared, “The media is dead to us on this story. They built this thing up. We are dealing with it, we are going to act. We don’t care what the what about is anymore, that shit is dead!” This is a declaration of independence from the narratives of the mainstream press, which has proven itself to be an enemy of truth and a champion of division. It is a call to action for all who support the America First agenda of President Donald Trump to stand firm against this orchestrated chaos.
In this moment of national crisis, strong, unwavering leadership is required, the kind that President Trump has always provided. While his opponents and their media allies preach weakness and apologize for terrorists, the President continues to stand as a bulwark for law, order, and the fundamental right of every American to speak freely without fear of assassination. His steadfast commitment to protecting conservative voices is more vital now than ever before.
