On September 10, 2025 Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University, a brutal act that has left conservative America reeling and demanding answers about the poisonous climate in our public discourse. The shock of that assassination has exposed how reckless narratives from parts of the mainstream media and cable TV can feed a culture of contempt that sometimes turns deadly. The country deserves clear facts and accountability, not quick pivots to platitudes from those who helped stoke the flames.
Megyn Kelly has been painfully frank in the days since Kirk’s murder, telling her audience she is not ready for a kumbaya moment with the Left while the same voices that demonized him offer sanctimony. Kelly has refused to accept performative gestures from people who helped inflame public sentiment, and she ripped into commentators who smeared Kirk before more facts came to light. Her anger is understandable: when a movement loses one of its most energetic voices, empty calls for unity ring hollow.
On her show and in her written commentary Kelly specifically called out figures like Van Jones for their earlier attacks on Kirk, accusing them of cowardice for trying to reframe the narrative after tragedy struck. She pointed out that a real act of conscience would have been a correction or apology when their claims proved wrong, not an op-ed meant to score moral points after the fact. This is not petulance; it is a demand for responsibility from media elites who wield enormous influence over public sentiment.
Kelly also announced she will press forward with her live tour, saying now is precisely the moment to show courage and resilience rather than retreat. She framed the tour as a chance to honor Kirk’s memory and to push back against the intimidation tactics that aim to silence conservative voices on campus and in public life. For those of us who have watched the left’s cancel machine at work, that resolve is a reminder that we will not be bullied into silence.
Meanwhile, Turning Point USA and allied conservative voices are organizing to carry on the mission Kirk started, rolling out a slate of speakers and campus events meant to keep the conversation alive and to fight back against the grim new normal of targeted political violence. This is exactly what a movement should do: mourn, demand justice, and then double down on outreach so the ideas that built our country are not stamped out by intimidation. The Left’s leaders should stop lecturing and start cleaning up the corrosive rhetoric within their ranks.
Patriots know what real unity looks like: it is not a theater of hand-holding staged by people who cheered the silencing of dissent. True unity requires truth, accountability, and a commitment to protect free speech for every American, even those we vehemently disagree with. Until the Left acknowledges the role its rhetoric played in creating a climate of hostility, we should listen politely to their condolences and keep fighting for the America Charlie loved—one where debate is fierce but not fatal.
