Of course they have. A perfect opportunity to keep their cult angry and moving towards a target.
MAGA vultures pounced on Kirk’s murder before the body cooled, spewing lies about trans and leftists, demanding crackdowns, and thirsting for revenge. Trump, Miller, and Loomer all circling, eager to turn blood into power.

Kirk’s murder exposes a surge in US political violence, up nearly 40% this year. Armed grievance, social media radicalization, and unchecked weapons fuel a darker era as Trump and allies inflame rage instead of confronting the crisis.
