It's been more than 24 hours, so this is not a knee-jerk response. I agree, nobody should 'celebrate' this. I will never celebrate the death of any human being. I won't mourn his death either, anymore than I mourn a random obit in the newspaper. 1/6 #utah

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

I'm more upset that another person died senselessly to a fucking gun death in America. Again. Like every other fucking day for what seems like a lifetime. And again, nothing will change. Nothing 2/6

I've sat here - WE'VE sat here - and watched people like this just trash the left. Charlie Kirk didn't "oppose" anything. Nor "respectfully disagree". He "FUCKING VILLIANIZED" the left. 3/6

So for the last 24+ hours, the Republicans have declared war on the left. Dismissed any talk of "political violence" - only "radical left violence". This is being set up as Trump's Reichstag fire. 4/6 #nazi

I'm no conspiracy theorist. This just feels like Trump and the MAGAts are going to capitalize on this as their opportunity, and that should terrify any rational American. 5/6 #charliekirk #maga

We're long past the point of rationality. There's no turning back. Hold your loved ones close, because the violence has yet to begin. I fear for this great nation. 6/6 #itstheguns #guncontrol
