The Left’s celebration and justification of Charlie Kirk’s assassination can be found from the bottom of the barrel to the highest ranks of the Democrat Party. In Minnesota’s case, Socialist Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said shortly after Kirk was killed that people who say Kirk wanted civil debate or those who were “rewriting this hateful man’s history” were “full of shit” and suggested the shooter may not have been left wing. In another interview, Omar said Kirk and his legacy should be “in the dust bin of history”.

Like most on the Left, Omar has decided to cherry-pick out-of-context quotes and misrepresent Kirk’s beliefs rather than tackling the issues and his legacy honestly. The failure of the Left to condemn this assassination cannot be forgotten. Ilhan is not alone in Congress that refuses to have decency surrounding this tragedy. 58 Democrats voted against a resolution honoring the life of Charlie Kirk while 38 Dems voted ‘Present’ and an additional 22 Dems didn’t take a vote.

The Left labeled anyone who thinks differently than them a fascist and nazi, celebrated Kirk’s death, pretended the shooter with a tranny furry boyfriend was a conservative, knowingly pushes false blame onto the Right, and then demands gun rights be stripped of law abiding citizens. The Left can no longer be negotiated with politically.

Many Democrats have pointed to the assassination of former MN Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog and the assassination attempts against Sen. John Hoffman and his wife as an example of right wing violence. Unlike the mentioned example, there was nobody on the right who justified or celebrated the killings or crazed assassin like we see the Left has with Charlie Kirk. In fact, some Republicans went above and beyond in praising their political opponent Melissa Hortman despite her record including support for Covid lockdowns/business closures, mask/vax mandates, transgender surgeries for children/toddlers, gun control, protected pedophiles in the MN Human Rights Act, spending away surplus dollars, and every other left wing policy implemented during her tenure. 

While A4L recognized Hortman as a tough leader who could get her caucus in line with whatever the agenda was, we did not heap on praise that we did not believe to be true. Her operation and control of the state House was the most corrupt our state has maybe ever witnessed like ramrodding bills through while refusing to recognize Republicans making motions on the floor. On the other hand, some RINOs showed their true Uniparty colors by revealing how close they were with Hortman and showing how aligned they truly were with Hortman in information that would've likely otherwise remained hidden.

RINOs and Establishment puppets in the MN Legislature need to realize that there is no negotiating with people who would rather have you dead than they debate your ideas. While there are many examples to choose from, we can look to Sen. Jim Abeler (SD35) who votes with Dems constantly on unconstitutional omnibus bills, caves whenever the GOP has leverage, voted for radical leftist Bobby Joe Champion for state Senate President, and despite the constant good-will he shows to the Left, they always attack him just as hard as any other Republican in elections. It does not matter that he votes for corrupt big government omnibus bills with the Dems, they will label Abeler a right wing nut job regardless. Some in the GOP are learning that you gain nothing from deals with Democrats, as seen with the regret of Reps following the House GOP seating Brad Tabke (54A) despite massive election integrity issues.

While conservatives must be vigilant politically and refuse to concede an inch, the Charlie Kirk memorial service featured a powerful moment that amazed the world when Erika Kirk forgave the killer of her husband. The Christian virtue of forgiveness echoed throughout the world as she grace over anger. If that virtue is not mutual, there can still be humanity between conservatives and the Left but the days of the GOP caving to liberal garbage must officially be OVER. The Left must come to accept conservative positions and policies, not the other way around. This cross-roads is a Turning Point for our country and A4L knows Kirk’s legacy has only grown. 

While A4L is attacked for being critical of RINOs we should not forget that Charlie Kirk did the same thing. Kirk played confrontational politics with GOP Senators to support RFK Jr.’s difficult Senate confirmation vote. From calling out Mitch McConnell to Mitt Romney to Thom Tillis, Kirk has been willing to fight the Establishment RINOs. Kirk has even called out MN's own Globalist RINO Tom Emmer (as dubbed by President Donald J. Trump) and mocked the idea of someone as liberal as Emmer being the GOP's choice for Speaker of the House in 2023. Kirk said that people like Jim Jordan and Byron Donalds were potential upgrades while Emmer was the "worst of all of them". While not all of Kirk’s endorsements stand the test of time as America First conservatives, he has typically favored the more conservative candidate in GOP primaries like J.D. Vance’s U.S. Senate run, Andy Biggs’ AZ Governor run, or Don Huffines’ TX Comptroller run.

A4L is leading the movement in MN to preserve Charlie Kirk’s legacy by pushing a petition to commission a statue of him on the campus at the U of M, where Kirk was set to visit just 12 days after his tragic death. Patriots can sign our petition to do so by clicking the image below:
