Radical Leftists Post ‘Kill Lists’ in Demented Frenzy, Some Targets Respond
By
New reports indicate that in the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, targeted hit lists against conservatives have appeared across social media platforms.
The Center Square reported Friday that “in the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, thousands of social media posts appear to list politically conservative targets for assassination by the political left.”
The names most frequently mentioned include President Donald Trump, podcast host Joe Rogan, author J.K. Rowling, commentator Ben Shapiro, commentator Matt Walsh, Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik, entrepreneur Elon Musk, and journalist Andy Ngo.
Rowling, who has been outspoken on free speech issues and opposition to transgender ideology, responded to the development with a warning about political violence.
“If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you’re illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you’re a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you’re a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you’re a terrorist.”
