FBI fucking up so far on Charlie Kirk shooting investigation
Thoughts on Assassination…By Ben Meiselas
Regardless of my disagreements with Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms, I condemn the horrifying act of violence that took Kirk’s life in Orem, Utah. Our programming across the network made it clear that violence is never the answer. We sent our heartfelt condolences to Kirk’s wife and family.

The FBI has mismanaged and botched this whole thing from the start. FBI Director Kash Patel posted that the suspect was in custody. It turns out, they racially profiled an Arab Charlie Kirk supporter who had nothing to do with the shooting.
Earlier, the FBI claimed they found another suspect who happened to be a mentally ill man known for disrupting political events and gatherings in Utah.
The FBI was then forced to issue a retraction, admitting it doesn’t have the suspect in custody as of this writing.
