Liberals in the media and the Democratic Party, if they want to regain the trust of the non-Left public, ought to use the week after Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a case study into their various pathologies.

They believe the other side is evil, they rely on “disinformation experts” (the term makes one’s eyes roll), and they are unwilling to believe anyone right of center. These foibles led to many prominent public figures peddling a conspiracy theory that Kirk’s assassin was a Republican, right-winger, or MAGA type.
