Laura Loomer, Trumps alleged mistress, a MAGA & pro-israel influencer, targeted Charlie Kirk weeks before his assassination.
Loomer painted Kirk as a traitor and placed a target on his back after he called for the release of the Epstein files and opposed a war with Iran.

Our country is truly at an inflection point—we can either continue to feed into the hatred and division, (like these influencers) or we can find a way back to our goal of ensuring this country is truly one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL.

Charlie Kirk was a horrible bigot who spewed dangerous conspiracy theories and misled many young people. He marched for Trump’s authoritarian agenda. None of this justifies violence or murder. Political violence only escalates and makes us less safe.
Sadly, we dont have a leader but an arsonist.

I disagreed with Charlie Kirk at every turn. But his death for expressing views is a reminder that if free expression isn’t safe for one, it isn’t safe for any of us.
