We? How about telling him 👇

I thought the very same. The fact that it was a long-distance sniper makes it easy to imagine that it was an orchestrated attack. It might not have been meant to be fatal though.

But, you see... it's only ONE side who thinks about the consequences of their words. Systems don't work that way. If you have a balloon and a person on one side puts a needle into it, it does not matter that the person on the other side thinks happy thoughts and wants the balloon to stay whole.

You are only thinking about this now?

So get back to me Mark when you've had a conversation with the perpetuator in Chief. How tone deaf can you be

Agreed, should start with Trump!

His wife, who was shot in the head while campaigning at the corner store, had been targeted in Right wing Republican ads, one of which showed a rifle’s scope/target.

Define “disingenuous”; “Political” violence is memorialized, and in fact, celebrated, in the USA, and has been throughout our history. This is who we are. And every person condemning it today has been, and still is, a part of The Machine.

I’m trying to unlike your comment but I can’t.

Who is the "we" that Kelly is talking about?

Trump started this back in 2016 and has gotten worse since then. Now he is just an old man who has lost his mind. Making fun of the disabled. Grabbing a woman by her ^ussy. That’s how it started. Now look at his language!!

Such a grown-up! Wish we had more. Joe Biden is a grown-up. Kamala is a grown-up. Words have consequences. Assume your words might be heard by a madman.

We have to be grown ups while the other side continues to be rabid violent bigots? Please, spare me the condescending tone.

Name names, Mark. The hateful rhetoric is coming from the top.

For example:

Mark Kelly can stop this shit right now. Charlie Kirk said repeatedly that gays should be stoned to death in the streets. We are a better society with him dead.

Um...Trump is the main culprit

Seems to me that the consequences of not speaking my mind are the complete abandonment of the Constitution and fascist oppression taking inspiration from Israel and El Salvador. When fascists and bigots die, Mark, I don’t do anything but celebrate.

Mark Kelly....2028.....

We have no idea who the perpetrator was or what the motive was.

Does that mean women should have taken up arms to preserve their God-given right to abortion care? That sounds like what Charlie is saying…

What is this "we" shit?

Mark Kelly tragically knows too well the devastating price of political gun violence.

Spot on

💯

Cardboard media has a hand in this climate.

Peaceful transfer of power...gone. No man is above the law...gone. Rule of law...gone. Free and fair elections...gone. My uterus...and the 1st, 4th, 10th and 14th amendments...gone. We can never count on these things again. Ever wonder how we lost America Mark?

That will fall on deaf ears. Trump only hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest…or seeks retribution on them.

words have consequences Distractions can prove deadly

Jeffrey Epstein — suicide (hanging), Aug 2019 Jean-Luc Brunel — suicide (hanging), Feb 2022 Steven Hoffenberg — natural causes, Aug 2022 Virginia Giuffre — suicide, Apr 2025 Charlie Kirk — shot, Sep 2025

Exactly. People should keep their mouths shut until the facts come out.

I think This was another hit like Epstein hit by the PEDOFUHRER . another deflection from the sex files. riots on the streets of America is what The PEDOFUHRER wants now the water is up to his neck

It's the guns

Yes they do.

kelly doesn't have the ears of the people he needs to convince no democrat does

Maga doesn't play by any rules or follow any norms. There is a reason why so many of trumps picks have checkered lives.

Consequences for Charlie Kirk, he wasn’t very smart .

Mark Kelly, do you really think “we all have the same goal here?” The GOP & Donald have much different goals than I have, and that the ppl I vote for have. Maybe this is the problem. The Dems haven’t gotten the memo that “we” don’t have the same goals. Stop playing checkers and do something.

the deadliest danger now confronting humanity is the "scapegoat" psychology associated with the old ethic. We are in the grip of this psychology when we project our own dark shadow onto an individual or group identified as our "enemy," failing to see it inourselves. sites.google.com/view/somnus/...

Mark should be minority lead, or Alex or Chris or Elizabeth or Patty or Sheldon. But most definitely not schumer.

maybe someone should tell this to the 15 yo in the white house😇

Yeah he walked that back though and said he was done talking about them and trusted his friends at the white house. Maybe he just pissed off the wrong person?

I absolutely believe it. Epstein walls closing in need a martyr to distract

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

It just infuriates me that attacks like those are ignored or even applauded. It hardly made the national news.

The orange turd in chief didn't even call the state's governor, considering it a waste of his time....

Trump first

Be especially careful when saying stupid and dangerous things like "Finland is russia". Fate might land on you.

Before he/she has even been found. Ask Pete H, he knows who completed the mission. The US is in big trouble.

Jeffrey Epstein — suicide (hanging), Aug 2019 Jean-Luc Brunel — suicide (hanging), Feb 2022 Steven Hoffenberg — natural causes, Aug 2022 Virginia Giuffre — suicide, Apr 2025 Charlie Kirk — shot, Sep 2025

The right and white GOP never step back and watch what they say about their political opponents. Just check the reel on Trump. When you use the Nazi playbook to run the country and destroy democracy you’re gonna get called out. Kelly’s statements are the equivalent of thoughts and prayers.

He died at the exact moment he was promoting the violence that found him. I will forget him as quickly as he forgot about the children and teachers murdered in school shootings.

@msnbc.com We need representatives with a little more charisma.

Oh no he will be fired now. @msnbc fired @matthewdowd.bsky.social for speaking about the human condition too.

It should be, but it’s about Charlie Kirk getting shot today.

Once again, Democrats will clutch their pearls and call for 'civil discourse' while Republicans will just heat up the rhetoric even more. There can be no civil discourse with fascists, and Kirk was a fascist. Sorry, not sorry.

Tell that to the man in the White House.

Too late

Well, I wasn’t wrong…⬇️ bsky.app/profile/ahme...

trumps consequences are building and unavoidable. but his blast zone is massive.

Starting at the TOP!

Oooooh boy are we well past this…

So one side continues to play nice while the other side burns the whole thing down. Great.

Tell that to the Orange Child Rapist.

If dems alone “toned down their rhetoric “, that would leave substantially more than half the ugly rhetoric still getting out. Just saying.

However:

Oh really? I never thought of that. -Donald J Trump

Huh Trump doesn’t care what he says Podcasts like Rogan and Kirk don’t care what they say

What are the consequences of doing nothing? Writing harshly worded letters? The guy got what he deserved. Death by violence, after creating the violence. Fuck Kirk and all his lil buddies.

Epstein.

I don't recall anyone saying hateful things about Kirk lately except maybe righties mad about his call for release of Epstein files. Kirk on the other hand...

It never stopped the repugnantcans. Stop being a spineless bootlicking suckass.

Tell that to the side mostly responsible for the toxic language - please?

That's good policy if both sides adhere to it

Meanwhile, from MAGA: www.wired.com/story/far-ri...

But what do ya do when those like Charlie Kirk are spreading hate and doing it for Trump, a foul-mouth, lying sex pervert who hasn't a decent bone in his body? Was Trump's influence on Kirk the reason Kirk was killed?

We definitely do NOT have the same goal here! Dems want to help everyone. Republicans want to help themselves and try to screw everyone else in the process!

Haha i remember when kirk, well too much shit to name here but kirks gone so lets move on!

You remember that, right? When a guy decided to try and kill Nancy Pelosi, and instead nearly killed her husband with a hammer in 2022? Paul's still recovering from the attack. Folks like Charlie Kirk had no difficulty with violence directed against "political opponents."

I missed the office for which Charlie Kirk was running. He wasn't a "political opponent," he was a right-wing demagogue inciting hate - he bussed insurrectionists into D.C. so they could beat cops with fire extinguishers, FFS. "He who lives by the sword," and all that.

You got a turd in your pocket Mark? Who’s this “we” you keep talking about?

We apparently live in an age where our party leaders react to violence by exhorting us to take the high ground (rightly), and where the leaders of the other party are free to engage in eliminationist rhetoric in the immediate aftermath, and the press elevates the latter over the former.

He's wrong, that attitude is why we lose at the polls.

Since the Republicans always think about what to say before saying it. 🙄

A child’s lesson for most. “Think before you speak” wouldn’t the world be a better place if world leaders followed that advice? And please, put the phones down! The very best of those elected to the highest office in their countries, don’t tweet. To tweet policy is both childish & elementary

Agreed. We don’t know this was political violence. It could have been. But it could have been other motivations we don’t yet know. We don’t know who the shooter is and why he did it. We need to stop making assumptions that can escalate things

How about Kay blame at Republicans feet where it belongs

Yea. Total BS. This is the typical Dem “we gotta be the nice guys” attitude that got us here. I didn’t wish Kirk dead. It was an awful scene. But let’s be clear who pushed the hate and gun violence into our society. The Dems should not be complicit in making Kirk a martyr. He created his demise.

This is a total mind fuck being perpetrated in this country! There are world leaders involved in this mass cover-up! Everyone and anyone is collateral damage in this quest to destroy this country

We?

Or democrats can just keep rolling over and sane-washing the right instead of speaking the truth on fear they have to defend the facts on who these people really are. It’s a win/win for MAGA.

And all these Democrats prostolicizing are throwing us under the bus instead of standing up for us. I'm so fucking sick of these cowards who I have to pay to do absolutely nothing to make my life better. What a fucking scam this whole country is a fucking scam

Charlie Kirk was on the side of those who chose to murder millions of Americans by taking their Medicaid away.

Could she look more disinterested?

It’s a nice thought, but people have literally pleaded with rightwingers to tone it down for this very reason since Newt Gingrich. They don’t care

Oh, is he talking about the GOPers who want to round-up all Dems and have them killed?

Mark Keyy please tell the #PedoPrez, he is the one fanning the flames.

We don't know anything about the killer yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if the constant appeal to "better angels" for the left and from the left while the right bullies and inflames with no consequence might lead someone to snap. It certainly isn't helping

There are a lot of opinions by politicians and pundits about political violence concerning Kirk. Given that a suspect has not been identified, how can anyone determine a motive. So far, the picture shows a young white man with a sweatshirt with an American flag. Trump was shot at by a Trump fan.

Only if your opponent acts accordingly. For example, stop sending military to our cities.

I just don't recall Democrats ever calling for a civil war, or threatening any political opponents lives. Calling someone racist or a fascist because their words and actions are racist and fascist isn't a call to arms. Look at MAGA feeds in the last 12 hours, tell me what you see.

MSM is both-siding the causes of this assassination. The rhetoric of the right-wing fascists has been non-stop for years and has been used to demonize ANYONE who disagrees with them, or attempts to hold them accountable for their crimes. "Hypocrisy always reveals the lies." - RJ Evans, AHResist

You mean like trump blaming Dems when they have no idea who killed him?

It’s ALWAYS up to liberals to “watch their words,” not jack up the anger. It’s been that way since trump came down the escalator, and what has it gotten us by “going high when they go low?” It’s gotten us a fascist government.
