Maybe it was a false flag. Just too convenient. This just appeared on the Alternet.

'Find each and every one': Trump pledges crackdown on 'radical left political violence'

In a video address to the nation posted to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump pledged a massive crackdown on "radical left political violence" in the wake of the killing of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

Even though the gunman responsible for Kirk's death on a Utah college campus remains at large and the motive remains unknown, Trump insisted that the "radical left" was behind the shooting.

/snip/

"My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials and everyone else who brings order to our country," said Trump, who has so far not addressed the pattern of MAGA activists threatening federal judges".

"Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives," he added.

1. sure had a quick response did he not nt

[yellow dahlia]

3. If it wasn't a false flag....

still don't let an opportunity born of "tragedy" pass you by.

[usonian]

35. A day before 9/11

[SheltieLover]

5. Yup.

[SheltieLover]

2. He doth protest too much

🤔

[yellow dahlia]

7. Indeed.

[SheltieLover]

11. Hiya!

[yellow dahlia]

12. Back atcha!

[gab13by13]

4. I didn't want to post it, just think it,

I hope there isn't another Lee Harvey Oswald out there, or will they just claim the shooter was a left wing extremist?

Didn't Kirk also want the Epstein files released?

[yellow dahlia]

8. Yes he did.

A little too convenient, I would say.

[SheltieLover]

9. Read this

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20624932

And a kennedy's rexent post to turn on OAN. According to that post, Kirk wanted to be rethug candidate in 2024.

[yellow dahlia]

14. There's more to this than at first glance.

[SheltieLover]

15. Absofuckingloutely!

[DET]

17. He Was Too Young...

…to run for President. Need to be 36; he was 31.

[SheltieLover]

47. No idea. I was citing a kennedy's post

About something they'd seen on oan.

Clueless here. I didn't even know who kirk was until all this happened.

[Attilatheblond]

30. Wanted to be the R candidate for what in 2024? Wasn't he 31? Not old enough to be POTUS

Is Kennedy high again?

[SheltieLover]

46. No idea. I was citing a kennedy's post

& I believe they were talking about what they saw on OAN, so...

[Attilatheblond]

56. It boggles the mind!

And we all have to jump thru hoops, clog our doctors' offices to get a 'script for Covid jab because a crazy man is running HHS.

Hi back at ya, SheltieLover! Some days, seeing you here is the only saving grace.

[SheltieLover]

58. It sure does!

Awww, ty!

[Bev54]

32. He backed off on that, said he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Like his massive crackdown on radical right political violence after killing of Democratic Minnesota elected politicians

[yellow dahlia]

10. You noticed...

[RockRaven]

13. One thing which is believable about a conspiracy theory of that sort is the part where

Kirk is chosen as expendable by TPTB.

[yellow dahlia]

16. Kills three birds w/ one stone.

Steals the narrative.

Eliminates him as a foil re: Epstein and other things.

Sets up the excuse to go after the supposed radical left.

[chicoescuela]

20. Martial law anyone?

[yellow dahlia]

22. Exactly!

[canetoad]

36. Yup

And look at his fan base. An army of Rittenhouses.

[Bayard]

18. Can he name one radical left gunman who shot up a school full of kids?

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

19. The false flag is the one flying over the White House.

[JBTaurus83]

21. Does the USA

Even have a radical left? He would really shit his pants in Europe.

[yellow dahlia]

23. Good point

[Fiendish Thingy]

24. So Kirk is alive?

Kooky.

[yellow dahlia]

25. I haven't seen any reports that he is alive.

Who is saying that?

[Fiendish Thingy]

33. Well you suggested it was a "false flag"

Are you suggesting it was an internal MAGA hit job to sacrifice Kirk for the good of the MAGA cause?

Kooky.

[Abolishinist]

42. And, at present, Charlie Kirk is dead.

I'm implying, simply that, at present, Charlie Kirk is not alive.

[ImNotGod]

26. The idiot russian agent orange who destroyed order in this country now wants to bring it back, good luck sucker

you unleashed a monster just like the supreme fascist court did.

[H2O Man]

27. Thank you.

It might turn out to be a "leftist," though the maga definition of "left" is rather inclusive, with moderates who disagree with the president being so identified. It might be a tall person, or a short person. They may like country music, or possible rock. We do not know. It might even be a foreign mechanic killing three birds with one shot.

[H2O Man]

29. However ......

if it was a young white republican, he was mentally ill.

[PurgedVoter]

61. Almost by definition.

I agree that that is what they will say if it is a young white republican, but I would argue that anyone who is a young white republican is far enough on a spectrum to be called mentally ill.

[Feel Good Inc]

28. No. We just live in a very polarizing country where access to firearms is really easy - especially in a state like Utah.

We're also a country that does not prioritize mental health and fetishizes guns. Honestly, I am surprised this didn't happen earlier.

[Cha]

31. Fuck you Asshole Traitor! We know how you Kill

People Without Any Fucking Evidence.

Fucking Asshole

[canetoad]

34. Same thoughts myself

It must have been disappointing not to have riots in Chicago, so Charlie needed to go?

[MrWowWow]

37. Who is "Mr. X" This Time?

[AStern]

38. It certainly got Epstein out off the front page. The media acting as if it's the Challenger Disaster is concerning.

nt

[Doodley]

39. If the vote on releasing the Epstein files had gone the other way, it would have been huge, so a diversion was needed

[tritsofme]

40. Maybe it was little green men from Mars?

Maybe it’s Maybelline?

[ecstatic]

41. until shown otherwise, the shooter was a rightwinger

If we had the leftwing radicals that trump keeps insisting we have, things would be very different in this country.

[Rhiannon12866]

43. Response from the Oval Office:

Trump posts video statement after fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk - ABC News
https://www.democraticunderground.com/132156188

[iemanja]

44. We have no idea what the shooter's motivation was

and we won’t unless he’s apprehended or identified. That Trump and the MAGAs are blaming the left is just what they do. Saying it’s a false flag assumes a motivation to counter. We have to know the motivation before dreaming up alternate scenarios.

[Justice matters.]

45. and everyone else who brings order to our country?

Pedo Felon wants to crackdown on everyone "who brings order"

Sure does all he can for that. Look at the "disorder" everywhere...

[DFW]

48. Looking at this from the outside

Although this guy Kirk was preaching to a substantial choir, at the end of the day, that’s all he was preaching. With hate rhetoric as thick as his, it’s rather obvious he was stirring up a frenzy among his own followers for his own benefit. We have a few people like that, but they don’t go around preaching righteous violence like the radical right does. There are control freaks, and then there are control freaks. The more powerful and influential a control freak gets, the more jealousy builds up within the movement’s own ranks (I’m thinking Trotsky vs. Stalin as an example). The American radical right is the gun-worshipping crowd in America, not the left. Sure, plenty of us own guns. The number of us that worship those guns or have basements stocked with dozens of them and a thousand rounds of ammunition are practically zero.

The extremist right wants to find a perp among the ranks of the left, but NOT because they really expect to find him there. Frankly, despite his noise, I wouldn’t honor him with having been worth the effort. This hit was well-planned, and the getaway flawless (so far, anyway). This sounds like someone is setting some up to take the fall because the people who set it up do NOT want the shooter found alive. He might have some stories to tell that a few Trumpanzees do not want told publicly.

Of course, I could be wrong anout all this, and it was just some highly intelligent, well armed 19 year old in a Che Guevara T-shirt. But it just doesn’t smell like it.

[Buckeyeblue]

57. I think it's likely that this was not politically motivated

I agree with those who say that this murder seems professionally done. It's more like a hit. The person or persons who orchestrated this have Kirk's rhetoric as a cover. I'm guessing this is going to end up being about money. Who all was he in bed with?

[yellow dahlia]

60. Mr. Dahlia and I were just making some of the same points.

Well executed.

A set up to blame the left.

Will the perp be found? And if found will he be alive? I doubt it.

The left are not the radicals.

Who benefits?

[Charmin One]

49. I think the Black Bloc did it

The shooter was wearing all black. His head might have been covered too.

[Emile]

50. Fascists believe they have a reason to hate even more.

Always playing the victim, just like their dear leader.

[marble falls]

51. I think he was supposed to be winged, ala TACO's ear.

[Aussie105]

52. People on the right don't realize . . .

that some of their extremist rhetoric is considered immoral and destructive of American values.
And someone or a group of people are prepared to take extreme measures to voice their horror.
(Remind you of any current popular TV shows and films? I can name quite a few!)

Assuming there will be no backlash now and down the track is just stupid.
Donald, take notice!

This incident transcends politics.

[Dave Bowman]

53. What radical left?

[MaineBlueBear]

55. Oh ya know

People that want clean air, water, food, and healthcare, education, and a social safety net for all.

Radicals...

[doc03]

54. Turned on Morning Joe at 6am just turned it off at 720am. The single subject

has been Charlie Kirk. I haven't heard about Epstein or the Russian attack on Poland. It
may not be a false flag but it is sure working as another shiny object for the news media to chase.

[yellow dahlia]

59. Exactly.

Kind of convenient.
