Or rather, what one hopes will turn out to be the attempted assassination of Conservative Inc.’s current spokesman.
Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem. Footage from the scene showed eventgoers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday. The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area at the Turning Point USA event Wednesday, according to bystander accounts.
If the orcs and goblins of Clown World are going after the cuckservatives, it’s probably best for genuine nationalists to stay frosty and stay very far away from public speaking events on college campuses… which is not exactly a problem.
If Charlie dies, this may prove to be the first shot fired in Round Two. It should be noted that the Right didn’t start it. It’s far too soon to know what the eventual impact will be, but it would not be surprising if Charlie Kirk’s death also marks the end of the moderate Right.
UPDATE: The man arrested appears to be a 60-something liberal Boomer. But he may not be the shooter.
UPDATE: MSNBC just speculated the Charlie Kirk shooting could have “been a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration.”
UPDATE: He didn’t make it. Requiescat in pace. Charlie Kirk was 31 years old.
