Reality undermines the right’s push to censor speech after Kirk killing
The Trump administration uses the murder of the fanatic fanatic activist Charlie Kirk to justify a repression against an alleged network of left -wing agitators in America, but a flow of evidence continues to undermine their false story.
The deputy chief of staff of the White House Stephen Miller insisted Monday This “large domestic terrorist movement” exists on the left and that after the death of Kirk, the administration “would use all the resources … to identify, disturb, dismantle and destroy these networks”.
But after the alleged shooter was charged in Utah on Tuesday, no evidence supporting Miller’s specious complaint emerged. According to court documentsThe shooter accused Tyler Robinson sent a series of messages to his roommate who quoted Kirk’s fanaticism as justification of filming.
“I was tired of his hatred. A hatred cannot be negotiated,” he wrote.
Robinson was billed With a murder and six other accusations – but alleged links with the types of networks of which Mrel denounced was not established in the prosecutor’s courts.
Anthony Cangelosi, former secret agent of secret services and the Ministry of Internal Security, criticized Miller’s characterizations in an interview with MSNBC.
“When I see terms like disturbing, dismantling and destroying these networks, the question is – Is it a criminal network that plots crimes?” He asked. “If they are, then disturb them and dismantle them. We do not disturb or dismantle the organizations with which we disagree. ”
Unlike the rhetoric of Miller, the White House and other Conservatism figures (such as President Donald Trump), the data show that The most domestic terrorism In recent years, has come from the right. After the death of Kirk, the Ministry of Justice purged an online report of the Agency National Institute of Justice by discussing this point.
The report noted This “number of far -right attacks continues to go beyond all other types of terrorism and violent domestic extremism”, a fact that undermines the current position of the right.
At the same time, the right does its best to demonize and silence the left, republican leaders like the president of the Mike Johnson room continued to excuse a violent rhetoric of figures like Trump. Asked about Trump’s long story about the incitement of violence (like January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol), Johnson said Tuesday, “Look, there is a lot of rhetoric animated all around, and what I try to advance here is this idea that we can have vigorous political debates.”
We do not know how, for example, how “vigorous political debates” could include something like when Trump told his supporters He would be “wild” in the Capitol while the pro-Trump demonstrators sought to undermine the result of the 2020 elections, which he lost against former president Joe Biden.
Conservatives are hitchhiking a widespread censorship of the left and uses the death of Kirk as An excuse to end the careers For people who, in their eyes, think and speak in the wrong direction.
In his life, Kirk was a Shameless bigot and promoter of hatred and plots. The right is to try to criminalize people who tell the truth about one of their beloved characters, but that will not change the reality of what it represented.
