The article links this incident too a broader pattern of violence and hostility fueled by leftist ideologies, including threats and actual violence against conservatives, political figures, and Jewish communities. It references prior episodes such as threats against Donald Trump,attacks on Supreme Court Justices,and anti-Semitic protests on college campuses following the Hamas attacks in 2023. The piece criticizes mainstream media for downplaying or covering up these escalating threats and violence, emphasizing the rise of radical activists and influencers endorsing or celebrating violence. It also condemns how certain media personalities and online figures have shown admiration or indifference toward violent acts and murder, portraying a deepening divide and moral decline in American political and cultural discourse.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?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\" ?><html><body><\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>One year ago, on Sept. 10, 2025, the most horrific political assassination in the United States in the 21st century occurred: At Utah Valley University, a bullet cut down Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at the age of 31.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk\u2019s killing, allegedly at the hands of a leftist in a homosexual relationship with a transgender individual who hated Kirk for his views on LGBT issues, was a singular event in the U.S. body politic. But, unfortunately, it didn\u2019t happen in a vacuum.<\/p>\n<p>Since Donald Trump won his first term in 2016, threats of violence have become normalized on the left. This was true even among celebrities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kathy-griffin-actually-banned-celeb-says-not-welcome-tonight-show-years-photo-holding-bloody-trump-head-went-viral\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kathy Griffin<\/a> infamously held up the effigial bloody head of Trump for a magazine photo shoot. Madonna, during a profanity-sodden tirade at the Women\u2019s March in January of 2017, said that she \u201cthought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These celebs had no intention of following through, one assumes. The people that did were called antifa \u2014 a loose coalition of far-left thugs that intermittently terrorized conservatives during the first Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>They were lauded by the media and the rest of the left, however. We were often told that \u201cantifa\u201d meant \u201canti-fascist,\u201d and if you were anti-anti-fascist, what did that make <em>you<\/em>, hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Then came the <em>annus horribilis <\/em>of 2020. After the death of George Floyd, riots were allowed to break out in every major city. While people had been locked down and forbidden from even seeing friends or going to school, rioting in the name of \u201cprotest\u201d was suddenly allowed because apparently, not rioting in the name of George Floyd was a <a href=\"https:\/\/cpehn.org\/what-we-do-2\/our-networks\/racism-as-a-public-health-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public health crisis<\/a> of its own.<\/p>\n<p>Riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after a black man named Jacob Blake was shot by police while he was reaching for a weapon were called \u201cfiery but mostly peaceful protests\u201d by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-mocked-labeling-kenosha-mostly-peaceful-footage-showed-opposite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>. It was only when a young man named Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself against the protesters by firing back at some attacking him did they start caring about the violence.<\/p>\n<p>They then stopped again until Jan. 6, 2021 \u2014 at which point the Capitol incursion became the <em>only<\/em> kind of political violence they cared about. It was inflated and bloviated about, over and over. But America moved on, and leftist thugs did, too.<\/p>\n<p>After the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, anti-Semitic mobs took over college campuses, terrorizing Jewish students and shutting down classes. Leftist university officials were loath to intervene, and even seemed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/columbia-president-becomes-latest-college-head-resign-pro-hamas-protests-swept-campus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">take the side<\/a> of the anti-Semitic rabblement at times.<\/p>\n<p>Only after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-aoc-calls-protesters-non-violent-leader-caught-saying-zionists-deserve-die\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Khymani James<\/a>, a leader of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group, said that \u201cZionists don\u2019t deserve to live\u201d did the university do anything to intervene in his case, for instance. As for the rest of CUAD, they let them slide \u2014 even defending one of its most infamous members, Mahmoud Khalil, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/radical-history-behind-lefts-new-terror-supporting-hero-facing-deportation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the pro-Palestinian terror sympathizer<\/a> who the second Trump administration is attempting to deport.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, while the pro-Hamas anti-Semitic mob was still burning strong, there was Trump\u2019s second presidential campaign, in which he faced not one, but two assassination attempts. He survived, although there were plenty of prominent people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-announces-returning-butler-pennsylvania-finish-started-july-13\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who weren\u2019t happy about it<\/a>. This came after a 2022 attempt on the life of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bombshell-lib-justices-set-stage-kavanaugh-assassination-attempt-even-warned-incentive-kill-kill-conservative-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after Trump\u2019s election came the case of Luigi Mangione, the man who has now pleaded guilty to killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City in December of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Mangione became the subject of hero worship for killing a husband and father, apparently because he was an executive with a big capitalistic company which also happened to be a health insurance company. Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wapo-reporter-blamed-libs-tiktok-random-threats-defends-alleged-ceo-murderer-mangione-morally-good-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taylor Lorenz<\/a>, the independent journalist formerly of The Washington Post, called him a \u201cmorally good person\u201d in interviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone stanning a murderer when this is the United States of America \u2014 as if we don\u2019t lionize criminals,\u201d she told CNN. \u201cAs if we don\u2019t stan murderers of all sorts.
