AMERICA, STILL SHOUTING — In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, one conservative commentator took to the airwaves with the calm restraint of a man screaming at a thunderstorm. According to him, Kirk did not fall to the hands of a lone gunman but rather to the “words, thoughts, sneers, memes, and latte orders” of liberals everywhere.
“Make no mistake,” he bellowed, stabbing his index finger into the camera lens, “Kirk was killed by the retarded, communist, radical leftists who have been poisoning this country with their irrational rhetoric. They didn’t just light the match—they were the match, the gasoline, and the arsonist.”
Viewers reportedly nodded solemnly while scrolling Twitter for the latest AI-generated photo of Trump riding an eagle.
A List of Liberal Crimes
The commentator went on to list “direct causes” of Kirk’s death:
-
A college sophomore once calling Trump “mean.”
-
A Brooklyn barista who rolled their eyes during a Fox News segment.
-
Every episode of The Daily Show since 2006.
-
Kamala Harris’s laugh.
“These acts,” he thundered, “were bullets—intellectual bullets—fired straight at Charlie’s patriotic neck.”
Liberals Respond
Liberals, for their part, seemed baffled. One Democrat, between bites of avocado toast, responded: “Wait, so our rhetoric is both too snowflakey and powerful enough to orchestrate an assassination? That’s kind of flattering, actually.”
Another added: “Honestly, we were just calling out Trump for trying to sell NFT trading cards of himself as a superhero. If that’s deadly rhetoric, then words really are violence.”
The Martyrdom Machine
Right-wing media has since canonized Kirk as “Saint Charlie of Perpetual Victimhood,” while simultaneously demanding that liberals “stop politicizing this tragedy” — by which they mean “stop disagreeing with us.”
“Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom to criticize Trump,” the pundit clarified, “it means the freedom to praise Trump loudly, in unison, and without fact-checking.”
Final Thoughts
As the segment ended, the commentator dabbed away tears of righteous fury. “Charlie didn’t die because of one assassin,” he intoned. “He died because liberals kept being mean on Twitter. And if we don’t stop them now, they’ll come for our flag pins, our Bible verses, and our God-given right to mispronounce Kamala’s name.”
He then urged viewers to donate $99.99 to his “Stop the Rhetoric Fund,” which promises to fight dangerous liberal speech by purchasing him a second vacation home in Florida.
