A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot (files.catbox.moe)

His death was a blessing on us all. All praise the void.

i wouldn't call it a blessing, it's being used to further all their shitty views and somehow make the left look violent.

They already paint the left that way.

And frankly, if that's how they're going to frame the left being non-violent, I feel like they might as well be violent and help the world out.
