Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk’s Assassination is a Direct Result of the Left’s “Debate is Hate” Double Standard

12 September 2025

3 MINS

They want you mad. They want you to react. They want you to trip up.

Who are they?

Every single person celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, instead of celebrating the 31-year-old’s life.

To those who would say that this murder was a consequence of “polarisation”, give no quarter.

As Kirk once said, “You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.”

He’s talking about men such as Phil Vischer and MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd, who didn’t define “hate”, yet decided to drop the “debate is hate” line anyway.

Dowd suggested Kirk got himself killed, “because he’s been one of the most divisive younger figures, who is constantly pushing ‘hate speech’.”

The MSNBC contributor then victim-blamed the late Turning Point USA boss, adding, “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which lead to hateful actions.”

Vischer walked the same crooked line.

Cowardly Fence-Sitters

The Veggie Tales creator, turned Big Eva Marxian Woke apologist, criticised Kirk, suggesting he was slain because he was far-right.

“Whether it’s a left-wing firebrand or a right-wing firebrand,” Vischer appallingly wrote on X, “this is not the answer. Prayers for Charlie Kirk.”

Targeting an opponent with criticisms, then wrapping that in a public prayer, is not prayer. It’s an abuse of it.

Vischer’s moral equivocation is a cruel cop-out.

Putting Kirk on the same level as those cheering on his death doesn’t land Vischer on the middle ground. It puts Kirk on the same level as his killer.

They’re not “just as bad as each other.”


The evidence clearly shows a distinct difference.

For example, many on the woke left are celebrating his assassination, while those outside that demonic hive mind are celebrating him.

That’s a big contrast.

Rubbish from the CCP-payrolled TikTok horde is a primary example.


Contrary to Dowd and Vischer, complicity with this level of violence cannot be hidden behind appeals to “use a better tone”, or seeker-sensitive “centrism”.

This fact applies to all fence-sitting Christian leaders from Big Eva who preach an “ethic of niceness” instead of the Gospel.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and part of that is the hatred of evil,” not the appeasing of it, Proverbs 8 and 9 tells us.

There are times when “finding the middle ground” is, as John the Apostle warned, a lukewarm Laodicean vomit bucket, filled with unGodly compromise. See Revelation 3:16.

Weak men create hard times, as the saying goes.

There is no biblical defence for dismissing over ten years of Democrat rhetoric, “hate speech” hypocrisy, and the chilling screams of the Marxian Woke calling for blood on the streets.

The “be tolerant, love is love” Left has lost sight of the dividing line between celebrating murder and celebrating the one who was murdered.

Their contempt couldn’t be clearer.

Remember Him

While the Left’s smug self-congratulation cheers on the killer, grief and appreciation for Kirk’s life have gone global.

From filmmakers to politicians, world leaders to the sons of slain political leaders, the outpouring of sorrow is louder than the celebrations of socialists.

“Once again, a bullet has silenced the most eloquent truth teller of an era,” Robert Kennedy Jnr remarked.

Turning Point UK wrote, “They killed him because they couldn’t debate him.”

As the late John MacArthur would say, the Left’s culture war is a Truth War.

Kirk was a peacemaker as much as he was a fighter.

So, we’ll be angry, but we’ll stay sober-minded.

We’ll raise truth against falsehood, and we’ll channel every bit of righteous anger into that effort.

Today, we mourn.

Tomorrow, we rise and continue Kirk’s fight, “taking no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead exposing them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

For “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12)

    Thankyou Rod.
    Our hearts broke yesterday 💔.
    Hate evil, love people is the only middle ground we can manage. Good enough for Jesus. We strive to make that choice in moments like these.

    This is a Martin Luther King moment for the cause of LIFE, Marriage, Family, Faith, and Freedom. Just as Martin Luther King was remembered for his stand for the truth so also will Charlie Kirk. We honour you dear brother and pray for comfort and protection for your beautiful wife Erika and young son & daughter. Charlie Kirks words of wisdom will live to haunt his executioners. “If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas – not run away from them or try and silence them.”

    original authorised Bible says
    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,but against principalities ,against powers,against the rulers of the darkness of this world ,against spiritual wickedness in high places .
    I think that’s clearer too .That’s the authorised Bible appointed to be read in churches

    “my kingdom is not of this world “Jesus stated at his trial .
    He doesn’t advocate political activities really ,His message is more eternal than temporal I believe .It’s about every individuals spiritual battle to immortality more than about changing this world .
    The churches have been very determined to make the people forget that and think it’s about here and now ,this material world that matters .This temporal life .It really never was viewed that way before the 1980s .
    The churches have conspired to deceive the world for centuries.
    They’ve been very successful imo
    Here’s the crux .The Bible tells us very clearly that there is only one form of human sexuality that God finds acceptable and that is the intercourse between a man and a woman joined together by God ( not the church or state ) by God with the only intention being to create and conceive a baby .
    Every other form of sexual act every other , is “an abomination “.
    Think about every one you know Who isn’t an abomination ?
    Think about intentions and especially today with the “justified ” allegedly heterosexual communities of supposedly monogamous couples and their chaste and virginal offsprings being so ready to condemm the LGBTQ crew as if innocent od Sin themselves ,out of of ignorance from deceive by omission of the churches .Remember “the one thing God Hates above ALL sins and abominations is the hypocrite “.
    Again think about intentions .Spiritual wickedness in high places .

    “For we are living in a material world and I am a material girl ” Madonna’s breakout album Like a virgin .
    signs and symbols ,not words rule the world Confucius said .Watch that video that made her a star ,filmed in the Shakespearian Merchant of Venices city .Study the symbolism very deliberately artistically crafted with intentions .To reveal ,not conceal ,to the watchful ,not the blindfolded . with their eyes wide closed .As Kubrick tried to illustrate .

    recall when Jesus net with Satan who tempted Him by offering all the riches and kingdoms of this world to Him if he would obey and jump from the mountain side wasn’t it to prove he was immortal ? The point being not about that but rather about the fact Jesus never says anything along the lines of ,they’re not yours ,they’re my Father’s creation or anything like that At all .He said something like, don’t try to tempt the Lord .
    Later ,in my Father’s house are many mansions ,my kingdoms not of this world , and it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Gates of Heaven .
    Come leave your work your home your families ,come follow me as fishers of men’s souls .He said .
