Rogan noted that people celebrating Kirk&#8217;s killing indicated a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >deeply divided nation moving<\/a> toward civil war, rating the U.S. at about a &#8220;seven&#8221; on a scale toward civil war because of these reactions. He condemned the celebratory responses as &#8220;dark territory,&#8221; especially given the public nature of the murder in front of Kirk&#8217;s family. Actor Charlie Sheen also reacted emotionally, condemning the killing. While historian Heather Cox Richardson claimed no left-wing individuals rejoiced publicly over the murder, a news founder posted video evidence contradicting that claim, showing celebrations online. the incident and reactions to it highlight a tense and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-can-have-access-to-only-some-of-trumps-financial-records-judge-rules\/\" title=\"Democrats Can Have Access To Only Some Of Trump\u2019s Financial Records, Judge Rules\">polarized political climate<\/a> in the U.S.  <\/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><\/p>\n<p>Podcast host Joe Rogan said on &ldquo;The Joe Rogan Experience&rdquo; Tuesday that Americans&rsquo; celebration of the Sept. 10 assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk reflected a nation proceeding toward a civil war.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple individuals were fired from their jobs over online comments either rejoicing about Kirk&rsquo;s assassination or attacking him in the aftermath.
