Two months to the day since Charlie Kirk was murdered in a public execution, leftist protesters showed up at a Turning Point USA event to taunt conservatives with pure hatred.
He has only been gone two months, and it is hard to believe how much has changed. It is hard to believe how disgustingly vile the left is. I would not have anticipated such large swaths of the left celebrating and even reveling in his assassination. There is something deeply wrong with these people.
The Vile Protests
Last night marked the end of what was supposed to be Charlie’s tour across college campuses. As you know, after he was murdered conservatives like Michael Knowles, Tucker Carlson, yours truly, and others stepped in to host the events in his honor.
Charlie chose the University of California, Berkeley – the birthplace of the campus free speech movement (even though it has not been living up to that for quite some time) – to be his last stop. Turning Point moved forward with the event as scheduled, and far-left agitators turned out in full force.
Independent journalist Andy Ngo reported the protests were organized by the violent Antifa group By Any Means Necessary.
They showed up, many wearing masks or keffiyehs covering their faces, with signs that read “Kirk said death penalties should be public, quick, and televised… congrats bud,” “Drown Fascism in a sea of resistance” as stacks of soiled “Freedom” shirts lay on the ground nearby, and “Charlie Kirk hated black people… rest in piss.”
What kind of an idiot wrote that? He berated no one. He had spirited on-campus debates with blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, you name it. She clearly knows nothing about Charlie, his beliefs or his practices. She is just another ignorant, stupid Ivy League college student.
Protesters also chanted “Fuck Your Dead Homie” over and over. One man, when he realized there was a camera on him, pointed to his neck over and over in an apparent reference to where Charlie was shot. It is the same gesture that Chicago elementary school teacher Lucy Martinez made at a recent No Kings event. And just a reminder… she is still seems to be employed by the school!
According to The Berkeley Scanner, several protesters told police officers to kill themselves or others, saying, “You have a gun, use it wisely.”
Five individuals were arrested in relation to various altercations with law enforcement and protesters. One fight broke out after a Kirk supporter selling Freedom t-shirts was attacked and ended up bleeding heavily from his face.
It is unclear exactly how the incident started. Some said the Kirk supporter shouted a racial slur, but footage was later released showing a violent protester yanking the cross necklace off from around his neck.
The Silver Lining
And yet there was a silver lining. Every single person who stood in that line to support Charlie never left. The taunting, cursing, screaming, and death threats left them undeterred. The event was sold out. And this was the crowd inside, as shared by TPUSA’s Andrew Klovet:
Wow.
