MAGA Exploits Kirk's Death to Further Extremist Agenda

Don’t ever let them tell you that political violence is a one-way street. Don’t be cowed into silenced because you’re afraid that they’ll attack you for being insensitive in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death. Don’t let them rewrite history.

Never allow it.

January 6, 2021 was a horrific act of political violence, stirred up by Donald Trump. It was meant to target Democrats and recalcitrant Republicans who were about to cast a vote to certify an election Trump lost.

The following year, a crazy right-wing conspiracy theorist named David Wayne DePape broke into Nancy Pelosi’s house, almost murdering her husband with a hammer in a brutal act of political violence. He carried zip ties, duct tape, gloves, a second hammer, and rope, suggesting that he intended more than just a violent assault. At his trial, DePape claimed that his intent was to target Nancy Pelosi, to hold her hostage, and to “interrogate” her. He also said he would break her kneecaps if she lied.
