Right-wing influencers call for 'civil war' after Charlie Kirk murder


RIGHT-WING influencers have called for a civil war in the United States after the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk.

https://www.thenational.scot/news/25458296.right-wing-influencers-call-civil-war-charlie-kirk-murder/



A number of voices influential in online communities on the right have characterised Kirk’s murder as an act of “war” and some have called for the Democrats to be registered as terrorist organisation, despite the motives of the attack being unclear with the perpetrator still at large. Elon Musk, owner of Twitter/X and formerly employed by Donald Trump’s White House, said: “If they won’t leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die.” In another tweet, the billionaire said: “The Left is the party of murder.”

Fox News host Jesse Watters, speaking on TV, said: “They are at war with us, whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it? How much political violence are we going to tolerate?” He added: “Everybody’s accountable and we’re watching what they’re saying on television and who’s saying what, the politicians, the media and all these rats out there. This can never happen again.”

Joey Mannarino, a right-wing commentator tweeted: “I hope that every ‘moderate’ Republican has now become radicalized and is ready to do everything they can do to utterly ensure the Democrat Party, a Satanic death cult, is eradicated from power and all who follow them are ostracized from polite society. “The Democrats are literally cheering on this assassination. We’ve all seen the videos they’ve been posting.

“Don’t be fooled the political Democrats putting out boilerplate AI statements saying that they feel sorry. We can’t even imagine what they’re saying in private. It’s now time to pick a side, America.” In another post, he added: “The Democrat Party must be classified as a domestic terror organisation and their members and leaders treated accordingly. Enough is enough.”

They are going to make a conspiracy theorist out of me after all! They seem to be enjoying this a bit too much and too soon.

Reichstag Fire Decree
~
With the Nazis in powerful positions in the German government, the decree was used as the legal basis for the imprisonment of anyone considered to be opponents of the Nazis, and to suppress publications not considered "friendly" to the Nazi cause. The decree is considered by historians as one of the key steps in the establishment of a one-party Nazi state in Germany.

Within hours of the fire, dozens of Communists had been thrown into jail.

12. "Dial down the temperature" only applies to some, apparently.

And there's still no apprehension or clear motive.

Jesse Watters is a dangerous person.

I watched Rob Schmitt on Newsmax last night. I wrote down his words. Here is a shortened version of what he said.
"When the left can't win - they get violent..."
"The modern left is a cancer..."
"They are full of rage...intolerant of those who won't accept their ridiculous orthodoxys...their trans agenda...mutilating children. anyone who doesn't like their ideologies is a threat to their democracy...."
"The way they talk about conservatives is so vile."
"They have so much mental illness on their side of the aisle...so many sick people..."
"Rhetoric that is horribly irresponsible." They have brainwashed a huge subset of society with their rhetoric..".
"Their anger and their fury and their violence will only get worse...it's ugly."

They accuse Dems of what they do. They are full blown lies and propaganda. They are the vile ones.

I have wondered who is directing Rob Schmitt and Jessie Watters to foment Civil War.

They are delivering the narrative that will justify the grifter's moves toward martial law, or some such thing.
