It highlights how MSNBC host Joe Scarborough repeatedly called former FBI Director James Comey a &#8220;martyr for the rule of law&#8221; after Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction. The article suggests that liberals are cynically using the term &#8220;martyr&#8221; to shift attention from Kirk&#8217;s death and portray themselves as victims. Social media users cited in the piece condemn this rhetoric, emphasizing that Kirk-not comey-is the true martyr. The piece argues that this tactic reflects a broader spiritual and political battle, with leftists dismissing the gravity of Kirk&#8217;s assassination while opportunistically elevating figures like Comey and Jimmy Kimmel as martyrs.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Democrats and their <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >establishment media allies<\/a> have not repented since conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s assassination 16 days ago.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, they have amplified their moral complicity in the murder while doing everything possible to portray themselves as victims.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Friday on MSNBC&rsquo;s &ldquo;Morning Joe,&rdquo; deranged co-host Joe Scarborough labeled disgraced former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey a &ldquo;martyr for the rule of law,&rdquo; thereby providing liberals an instant substitute for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-jimmy-kimmel-says-wallstreetbets-might-be-russian-disruptors\/\" title=\"WATCH: ...
