If true - White House plans broad crackdown on liberal groups“
“Trump administration officials on Monday responded to the activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination by threatening to bring the weight of the federal government down on what they alleged was a left-wing network that funds and incites violence, seizing on the killing to make broad and unsubstantiated claims about their political opponents.
Investigators were still working to identify a motive in Mr. Kirk’s killing, but the Republican governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, has said that the suspect had a “leftist ideology” and that he acted alone.
The White House and President Trump’s allies suggested that he was part of a coordinated movement that was fomenting violence against conservatives — without presenting evidence that such a network existed. America has seen a wave of violence across the political spectrum, targeting Democrats and Republicans.
On Monday, two senior administration officials, who spoke anonymously to describe the internal planning, said that cabinet secretaries and federal department heads were working to identify organizations that funded or supported violence against conservatives. The goal, they said, was to categorize left-wing activity that led to violence as domestic terrorism, an escalation that critics said could lay the groundwork for crushing anti-conservative dissent more broadly.
Some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government used Mr. Kirk’s podcast, “The Charlie Kirk Show,” to lay out their plans.
From his official office at the White House, Vice President JD Vance served as a guest host of the podcast, inviting senior members of the administration, including Stephen Miller, the president’s top policy adviser, to praise Mr. Kirk while also detailing their plans to crack down on what they called leftist nongovernmental organizations. The show was broadcast on the television screens in the White House briefing room and in several West Wing offices.”

Kirk was killed by a Groyper far right loon
They are going to use this tragedy to do what they have always planned to do
Unchecked power of the executive branch is about to be directed at the president's political enemies. They knew an excuse to do this would come. It is here.
And MAGA will cheer, as the foundations of democracy erode. They much prefer a conservative dictatorship to a democracy.
It’s all lies. White people never did this. It was the Africans who did this to their own.

Kirk also called for Biden to be executed
He would say outrageous things to get attention. Then selectively edit people he “debated.”
He was a creep. But he certainly didn’t deserve to be killed.
Almost everyone says something wrong sometimes. But he wasn't a creep...or a racist...or a bigot
I listened enough to know he was farther right than my tastes, but he was a good human being.
Sure Mark, that’s what non creepy people say.
Glad the story coming out on Charlie. Another wing nut.
Jim, I suggest you flee to Canadia at once for your own safety

Can't get more Fascist than that...and twisting Charlie Kirk into a model of unbiased civil debate
to be lauded by the entire nation is brilliant propaganda. Here are Charlie Kirk's thoughts and words as only he could tell them...
These guys don't care about our warnings about creeping fascism because they welcome it
They are 100% supportive of an authoritarian takeover - as long as it is a right-wing authoritarian. It promises long-term victory in the culture war matters more to them than democracy.
They could give a shit about the constitution. And they would have LOVED being in Russia when Putin did this exact same shit.
If only any of this could have been predicted?

Just like there were Brown Shirts in Hitlers day and Trump ‘Promoters’ now…
there will always be Enablers and Opportunists today. Fortunately, they were defeated in 2020, and the regret rate for fence sitters now is high…plus DJT’s approval ratings are seriously underwater…very unlikely to improve. All hands on deck for the Mid-Terms…
