      It’s pretty easy to understand. The GOP fosters conspiracy theories to deflect.

      Well, Candace Owens is going to have a field day with this. That woman is a bit nuts, but this sort of news plays right into her conspiracy theories.

      Washington Examiner is a propaganda rag that rarely, if ever, publishes anything factually accurate.

      He’s definitely feeding into the weird, antisemitic conspiracy theory that Israel ordered the assassination of Kirk. But, it’s not like Kent can make these loonies *more* antisemitic, so I’m just enjoying the mess.

      Hmm. Now why would the Trump administration stop an investigation into Charlie Kirk’s death? 🤔

      It’s not an assassination, an internet troll is not a person of consequence that rises to that level. Right wing moron that got shot by another right wing moron.

      Trump assassination was staged. Come on. “Let’s lower the overhead flag while he is bleeding for TV material”. It is like watching you tube conspiracies come to life.

      >Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent said he and his team were blocked from continuing to investigate possible leads tied to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, alleging federal agencies told them to halt their work despite unsolved questions.

      >Speaking on the Tucker Carlson Show following his resignation from the NCC, Kent said his office initially pursued leads related to possible foreign connections in the case, which fell within its mandate. But he said those efforts were curtailed.

      >“We were then told that, ‘Hey, you guys need to stop. You can’t work on this anymore,” Kent said.
      …
      He described how access to information and interagency cooperation were restricted. “All the requests that we would make … were just never met,” Kent said, adding that requests for data sharing “just continue to die on the vine.”

      I watched something today where the story was that Kirk was being groomed to be president by Billionaire group. Then he turned anti -Israel (which for this group was the biggest issue) and they killed him.

      OK but… what is the alternative? Tyler Robinson exists. He’s a real person, who will be tried.

      I mean not even shocking!
      Like what happened to Trump shooter? What’s happening with Kirk shooter? Like there’s no news on any of it! Why not?

      There’s only one foreign government the US government turns a blind eye for, Israel.

    21. Sandy_Bananas on

      The fucking morons cocked it up and did it six months too early.

      They stole his thunder. Charlie would be ranting about whatever he was told right now, if it weren’t for that evil Aunty Fah!!

    23. blackmobius on

      Yep. Cause (1) it was a republican maga boy that shot him and (2) kirk wouldn’t shut up about Epstein

      I’m not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but you can’t convince me that Charlie Kirk was not team killed. They knew how much his fans loved him and his wife signed off on it.

    26. rattler254 on

      Holy bot accounts! China and Russia and really putting in overtime in this thread.

      If Trump was shot, I want whatever they replaced his ear with. I’m currently in week 5 of a knee surgery to repair damaged cartilage. Give me the magic cartilage.

    29. idlefritz on

      All these assassination attempts are suspect if for no other reason than how little this admin is politically weaponizing it.

    31. H4NKSCORP10 on

      I would not be surprised if Trump knew about the Kirk assassination given how he gave his condolences prior to him officially being pronounced dead. I would not be surprised if Trump staged his own assassination attempt (killing one of his own supporters) given how the photographers were ushered to the front just as the flag was lowered and how the cartilage in his ear made a complete recovery somehow.

      We’re not dealing with a normal human being. The worst thing you can think of, I’m absolutely possible Trump is capable of doing it to serve his own interests.

    32. mammiejammie on

      I’m not surprised by this at all. It was so stoked upon for sympathy from the entire administration that it was f’ing weird. A dude who was so hateful and not a household name. He spewed some crazy shit. Yet, after his death, my Fox watching mother proclaimed she was sad for Charlie Kirk’s assassination despite not knowing of him beforehand. To say it put a divide between us is an understatement.

    33. Accurate-Natural-236 on

      Charlie Kirk was a net positive for the interests of our foreign adversaries. Call me skeptical but, I think foreign support of his assassination is bullshit. Just because Joe Kent momentarily rediscovered his spine doesn’t mean he’s not a right wing, grifting shill.

    34. Xerxes_Generous on

      I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the fact that Trump of all people is quiet about his assassination attempt speaks volume about how staged this is.

    35. SandersSol on

      There’s no way Kirk’s ENTIRE security detail with combined decades of experience suddenly forgot to check the rooftops while he was supposed to be speaking on a central platform in the middle of a courtyard.

      No.

      Way.

    36. Amazing_Can_3240 on

      They don’t want a thorough investigation because there’s no big,bad Antifa to blame it on.

    43. lost_in_technicolor on

      I mean, I wouldn’t doubt it, but this guy *is* a known conspiracy theorist nutjob.

    44. CurlOfTheBurl11 on

      Well this will surely quiet the conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination.
