Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a left-winger who was likely radicalized into thinking the views and values Kirk represented were a threat. This indoctrination was arguably the result of contemporary left-wing ideology that categorized conservative, Republican, white Christians as dangerous. I witnessed one such example in person when former President Joe Biden vilified them outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, located a stone’s throw from where I grew up. I saw it again on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday when, twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton once again demonized white Christian men.
The former first lady’s vile comments came two weeks to the day that Kirk was assassinated. Liberals, Democrats, and others on the Left portray white Christian Nationalists as bigoted, hateful people. As mentioned above, such inflammatory, hateful rhetoric toward white, Christian men has been happening for decades. It’s a lie that has been perpetuated and dominated popular culture. For example, Democratic Party strategist and President Clinton confidant James Carville called Christian nationalists “a bigger threat than Al Qaeda to this country” on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.
