Observation from the NY Times re Podcast honoring Kirk

'Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, just appeared on Charlie Kirk’s podcast that vice-president JD Vance is guest hosting today. With Stephen Miller also coming on, this is what seems to be happening now: Senior officials in the federal government have taken over a conservative media entity to talk about a crackdown on anti-conservative thought and speech, and they are introducing the idea that a vast leftwing movement directly led to Kirk’s assassination.

This comes as officials are still trying to discern the gunman's motive
