Because the left is so driven by emotions right now, they are willing to kill, driven by their emotions, and justify. The end justifies the means, just like the left.

What we found

Contradicts. Snopes found no publicly available evidence that any of the seven assassins or attempted assassins of prominent figures, including Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, were registered Democrats, calling the Democrat-violence framing demonstrably false.[1]

Context. Northeastern criminologist James Alan Fox and PolitiFact describe a rise in politically motivated killings and threats, with experts pointing to polarization and social media as drivers rather than a single political side.[2][4]

Context. Coverage of Kirk's killing documents attacks and threats against figures on both sides of the spectrum, including Trump, Whitmer, Kavanaugh, and Minnesota legislators, showing the violence is not confined to one side.[5][7]

Context. The alleged assassin's note and texts describe a personal plan to kill Kirk, with no sourced evidence of a broader leftist group willing to kill to silence conservative voices.[8]

Context. AP reporting on Kirk's killing and the subsequent conservative campaign to get critics fired shows Kirk's death drove retaliatory action from the right against left-leaning critics, not evidence of a left-wing killing campaign.[3][6][9]
