A young American patriot is dead. Charlie Kirk, the brave conservative leader who fought for our values on college campuses across the nation, was gunned down by a radical leftist assassin. The 22-year-old shooter carried anti-fascist symbols on his ammunition, showing exactly what kind of sick ideology drove him to murder.

The liberal media and their allies have blood on their hands. For years, they called Charlie Kirk and other conservatives fascists and Nazis. They painted targets on the backs of good Americans who simply wanted to preserve our freedoms and traditions.

Dave Rubin exposed the disgusting truth on Piers Morgan’s show this week. He played audio of Cenk Uygur from The Young Turks saying Charlie Kirk wanted to be a martyr. Uygur sat there squirming as his own hateful words came back to haunt him.

This is what happens when the left demonizes patriots day after day. They create monsters who think killing conservatives is justified. Uygur and his crew spent years calling Charlie Kirk dangerous while he was just trying to have conversations with young people.

Charlie Kirk was a friend to many and an enemy to none. He reached across the aisle more than most politicians ever do. He welcomed debate and discussion, not violence and hatred like his killer.

The shooter was exactly what he claimed to fight against – a real fascist. True fascists silence their opponents through murder and intimidation. This coward took the life of a good man who never hurt anyone.

Our college campuses have become breeding grounds for left-wing extremism. Students are taught that conservatives are evil and must be stopped by any means necessary. This toxic teaching led directly to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

America has lost a champion of freedom and truth. Charlie Kirk died defending the values that built this great nation. His blood is on the hands of every leftist who called him a fascist and every professor who taught students that conservatives deserve violence.
