Is it true that

Charlie Kirk had recently been supporting release of the Epstein files and had been speaking out in support of releasing them? I have been seeing commentary on other channels that this may have been a possible reason for the orange slime or his cohort wanting him out of the way. I never paid any attention to him so I wouldn't know. Any input would be appreciated.

Apparently was not well received by the MAGA cult.

It would be hard to track down the Sept 8 statement mentioned in this excerpt I found and I did not click or post the opaque URL below it, but if they mention Megyn Kelly, it is probably legitimate:

But it’s well known that Charlie Kirk’s initial call for President Trump to make the Epstein Files public so captured America’s attention that Trump called Kirk and reportedly asked him to pipe down. Charlie Kirk did, but not for long. He kept up his call, and on September 8th, 2025, was recorded at this event with Megyn Kelly saying the following: [opaque URL]


But I seriously doubt the Tangerine Tyrant ordered or condoned a hit.

Any one of his crazed cult members could easily have thought Charlie had done their fearful leader wrong and decided to settle it themselves.

and yes he as well as Loomer and others do influence Trump.

Trump flipped on them. Either it was just a campaign lie or he realized how much he was in the records but he did a 180 in them.

My guess is that whomever did it (may not be the guy in the photo) was experienced with a rifle maybe specifically that .3066 probably from hunting. It was a good shot but not terribly difficult. It could be some military trained guy but that doesn’t mean it some super trained sniper. What I heard last night was a 200 yard shot - that’s not to difficult for someone trained and with experience with a rifle. That’s 183 meters - in Army basic training 300 meter shots are part of qualifying (I cared a .45 after basic).

What I’m wondering about was if whomever did it was walking around with a .3066 rifle. Even in a bag over your shoulder it’s very noticeable…..unless you can break it down.

that it was an inside job. Kash and his Keystone Kops won't find the real shooter because the guy was paid off and has escaped. They may "find" some hapless somebody they parade around, but he'll likely get released, OR it'll be a "show trial".
