The mainstream media has wasted no time twisting the assassination of Charlie Kirk into something it never was. Instead of acknowledging the brutal reality—that left-wing hatred and ideology drove a radicalized young man to pull the trigger—they’ve started painting it as some sort of tragic love story. This is the same tired playbook we’ve seen before: when the killer fits their side of the political aisle, the motive magically becomes “emotional” rather than ideological.
Montel Williams’ Gaslighting on CNN
Montel Williams, who hasn’t been relevant in decades, resurfaced on CNN to provide cover for the left. His claim? The shooter wasn’t politically motivated but rather “emotionally” driven because of a relationship. That’s not just tone-deaf—it’s disgusting. To suggest this murder wasn’t political when the shooter literally etched leftist slogans into bullet casings is beyond dishonest. It’s gaslighting, pure and simple, and it insults the intelligence of every American who’s paying attention.
Scott Jennings Brings the Receipts
Thankfully, Scott Jennings didn’t let that narrative slide. He reminded everyone of the killer’s own words: “I can’t stand this hate anymore. I’m going to take Charlie Kirk out.” He pointed to the evidence etched on bullet casings and the testimony of family members who confirmed the shooter had embraced radical left-wing ideology. Jennings was clear—the crime wasn’t born out of some teenage heartbreak. It was fueled by the poison the left has been spewing against conservatives for years.
Left-Wing Radicalism in Plain Sight
For over a decade, the left has labeled conservatives as fascists, bigots, and enemies of humanity. This rhetoric doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it breeds hate, it radicalizes people, and in this case, it ended in assassination. The shooter waited for the word “trans” to be spoken before he pulled the trigger. That wasn’t random. That was ideological conditioning manifesting in violence. To deny the political motive is to deny reality.
The Stakes Are Too High for Lies
Montel Williams’ attempt to shift the story away from politics is more than lazy punditry—it’s dangerous. By pretending this was an “emotional” tragedy instead of politically motivated violence, CNN and the left are giving cover to a movement that incites hatred against conservatives daily. Scott Jennings was right to call it out, and the rest of us must do the same. If we let the media spin this assassination into anything but what it was, we’re only ensuring that more violence will follow.
