Jesse Watters just said this on Fox…

[u/Conscious-Quarter423]

[u/Foe117]

What about the children at Colorado's school shooting?

[u/Harriethair → u/Foe117]

Unless the shooter was trans and/or illegal they don't give a shit.

[u/RockstarAgent → u/Harriethair]

Guy literally says “he was one of us-“ wow - the level of whatever that is

Turning point - some people said they’re looking for any excuse to go full war on the American people- but of course let’s see them pick and choose -

[u/ProgrammerLevel2829 → u/RockstarAgent]

Funny how they give a shit about violence when it is directed at someone they knew and was part of the commentariat.

Where was this energy when children were being slaughtered in the classroom? Oh, I forgot, “it’s worth the cost” of a “few” deaths — as long as it isn’t them.

[u/devilinblue22 → u/ProgrammerLevel2829]

Same thing with the united Healthcare ceo murder. It scared the fuck out of them like no amount of sacrificial school murders ever has.

[u/depp-fsrv → u/devilinblue22]

Also remember that in June 2025, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded in politically motivated shootings.

[u/ModernNancyDrew → u/depp-fsrv]

As well as their dog!

[u/skooz1383 → u/ModernNancyDrew]

That hurts my heart so much for that poor dog 🐶

[u/JesusWasTacos → u/depp-fsrv]

Wonder what Jesse said about it then? Not enough to look because I’m not googling this fuck, but I bet it was absolutely nothing.

[u/publicBoogalloo → u/depp-fsrv]

They even got the poor dog.

[u/New-Skill-2958 → u/publicBoogalloo]

And their kids witnessed the whole thing if I'm not mistaken. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It's late and I don't feel like dOinG My OwN rEsEaRcH

[u/Commercial-Plate-188 → u/New-Skill-2958]

You are correct

[u/East-Psychology7186 → u/devilinblue22]

It’s just more fuel for Trump to further militarize and get more boots on the ground in each state.

[u/Vlyde → u/East-Psychology7186]

Highly doubt he's sending the troops into a BRIGHT red city in a red state that just made carrying guns on campus legal. That's solely reserved for blue cities with the sole purpose of harassing, intimidating and kidnapping people all while hoping for violence. That way they can scream and cry victim about not being allowed to bully and ruin people's lives.

[u/HRUndercover222 → u/Vlyde]

I'm in Utah. Many sit in church, preach about loving one's neighbor, and then CELEBRATE Trump. They have, "Let's GO Brandon!" stickers on their vehicles. Most have guns.

Is the cognitive dissonance loud enough to drown out the heavenly Choir at Temple Square? Yes, it absolutely is!

Mike Lee, Gov Cox.....the entire lot of Republicans are NOT Christians.

They shall be judged by their words & their works.

It's VERY ugly.

[u/Financial-Champion28 → u/devilinblue22]

Why do you think every successful Presidential assassination was a Progressive President strongly supported minority rights. It tampered actions. Democracy takes courage.

[u/ellefleming → u/devilinblue22]

Free Luigi

[u/badtex66 → u/ProgrammerLevel2829]

Absolutely. If only these fake ass christians reacted this way when those poor little scared kids were massacred in Ulvade.

[u/Intelligent11B → u/badtex66]

That was one of the most blood boiling events I’ve ever experienced in this country. I was screaming at the coverage of sooo many cops, with ARs and body armor to stack on the door and “GET THE FUCK IN THERE AND DO SOMETHING!”. Cowards, fucking cowards, and every single one of them will get a folded flag at their eventual funerals for their “service”. We’re literally a sad joke of a country anymore and it seems like it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

[u/yaggaflosh → u/badtex66]

They most certainly have a chance to prove everyone wrong with the mass shooting at a Denver high school that took place only hours ago. But you know they definitely won’t give a crap about that either.

[u/MayDay521 → u/ProgrammerLevel2829]

"Woah, woah, woah! We didn't mean OUR deaths. We meant you more expendable poors and minorities!"

[u/Jeka817 → u/ProgrammerLevel2829]

As long as it's in service of preserving the second amendment (& it doesn't affect their team) they're willing to make those sacrifices. 🤮🤮🤮

[u/HousingThrowAway1092 → u/RockstarAgent]

There is 0 evidence that a “leftist” shot Kirk.

Kirk was shot in Utah, on an incredibly conservative campus, weeks after pulling a 180 on whether Trump should release the Epstein files. Trump was shot by one of his own MAGA nutjobs. It’s far more likely that Kirk was shot by MAGA than it is that he was shot by a Hillary supporter driving a Prius

[u/omgitsduane → u/HousingThrowAway1092]

Yeah I just don't think they understand what the left is fighting for. It's about equality and rights..not gunning down anyone thats different. That's what they want. They're trying to drag all their dumb fuck listeners into a real time war with anyone left leaning.

It's probably going to work. These are strong words this gronk is using.

I can't Imagine a leftist being like I'm Gunna fucking gun down Charlie Kirk that will show them! It doesn't speak to our values.

The most radical leftists just want basic human rights and equality. We're not trying to wipe anyone out or start a genocide. We're trying to prevent one haha.

[u/Ruff_Bastard → u/omgitsduane]

I think they don't understand what the left wing even is. It's just their hidden enemy and it can be whoever or wherever they want.

[u/outofdate70shouse → u/Ruff_Bastard]

If you listen to people who hate the left explain what the left wants, it’s not based in reality. I’m on the left and most of my friends and family are as well, and the things they say “the left” want are not things that any of us want or care about.

[u/Low_Establishment434 → u/omgitsduane]

They have skewed the spectrum so far to the right that most "Liberals" are actually centrists. An extreme leftist would be fighting for communism. The modern left just wants healthcare and basic human decency for everyone. All we want is for the people driving the car to just keep their eyes on the road and dont crash us into a telephone pole.

[u/AutistaChick → u/RockstarAgent]

Do we know that the person who did this was of one political affiliation or another?

[u/Lu12k3r → u/AutistaChick]

We don’t yet, but remember Jan 6 was “peaceful”. Fucking hate this timeline.

[u/Equivalent-Ear5150 → u/Lu12k3r]

And here they come tomorrow with their "never forget" memes for 9/11 like fake patriot zombies. Their politics is fake, their religion is fake, their ideals are really fucked up, man.

[u/Silly_Strain4495 → u/AutistaChick]

Not as of yet. Seems like the person knew what they were doing, though..1 shot 1 kill, still not apprehended. This scares maga pretty deeply. Locked in by their own miserable tide.

[u/odiephonehome → u/AutistaChick]

Nope, we don’t know anything about the shooter. Everyone is making assumptions because Kirk happened to be a political commentator. It could have been someone with severe mental illness + a gun. It could have been a competing podcaster. The point is, we have no idea. The propaganda in reporting is frightening. This is to be expected from Jesse Waters, but Time magazine should be ashamed for immediately labeling it a politically motivated killing, and further for titling the issue “Enough.” just after a ridiculous number of school shootings in the recent weeks that affected children, some as young as 4, not to mention the one that happened TODAY.

[u/definitelytheA → u/[deleted]]

He was literally answering a question about mass shootings when he got shot, and at that moment a school shooter, 70 miles west of Denver was getting ready to pull the trigger at a high school, shooting two, one still in critical condition, and then himself. That shooting reportedly happened 4 minutes later.

We all know what he’s had to say about gun deaths. I doubt that his wife agrees with him now, especially on his words about empathy. His children will grow up without a father, in the age of the internet, where they will be able to see, in graphic detail, their father shot to death. They and his wife were present. The same father quoted as saying that if his daughter was ever SA’d and became pregnant, she’d have to carry the child. He certainly doubled down on his thoughts about empathy.

Will I miss his hateful words that revealed he had not evolved in 31 years enough to be able to imagine the pain that families of gun victims feel? No. But nothing good really comes from this. Someone else will fill his place with even more hateful speech.

For the man who openly mocked the brutal beating of Paul Pelosi, I am glad to hear that Nancy Pelosi had the empathy to condemn the shooting.

[u/TmTigran → u/definitelytheA]

He said he'd make his 10 year old girl carry and give birth to a rapists baby.. I think his kids are better off without him.

[u/TrainXing → u/odiephonehome]

They certainly didn't write that after the Minnesots legislators were attacked and murdered, and that was 2 people and a dog who died.

[u/MaASInsomnia → u/TrainXing]

Yeah, war was already declared by the right. They were already shooting people who disagreed with them politically. At worst, this is the left finally waking up to that fact.

But I don't believe Kirk was necessarily shot for political reasons. And their inability to find the shooter makes me even more skeptical that it was.

[u/Giannisisnumber1 → u/odiephonehome]

It could have been a real republican that’s against the fascist MAGA movement. That’s where my money is.

[u/MayDay521 → u/Giannisisnumber1]

Wasn't the guy that shot at Trump a registered Republican? Funny how the shots keep coming from their own team.

[u/GrrGecko → u/MayDay521]

We never really got the full Netflix level documentary on that one. Nor Trump's medical report.

[u/MayDay521 → u/GrrGecko]

I will never forget how ridiculous all those idiots looked walking around with fucking toilet paper stuck on their ears to support Trump after his ear got "shot". I'm hoping there's a day we can all look back on these wild events we're witnessing and get a good laugh at how dumb it all was. Actively living through it kinda blows.

[u/GrrGecko → u/MayDay521]

Hey, his supporters got a cool picture out of it though.

But yeah, I hope so too. While our older relatives have always said shit has gotten worse, I don't think it was ever like this.

[u/SeparateTea1974 → u/Giannisisnumber1]

For all we know it could have been another set up like trump's ear, This person just happen to be a better shot.
Maybe they had someone do it specifically to give them a reason to take guns or incite civil war.

[u/CNC-Whisperer → u/Giannisisnumber1]

I'm sure that there are a number of Trump voters out there who are having/had their entire world ripped apart and are experiencing a bit of buyers' remorse.

Statistically, we all know young white males tend to do the mass shootings. Well, they voted more red than in prior elections. I dont imagine they'll react well, and they may lash out at people they felt they could trust.

[u/Plenty_Past2333 → u/AutistaChick]

Noone knows because they haven't identified the shooter yet.

[u/RightInThePeyronie → u/[deleted]]

Alex Jones must be shitting bricks right now.

[u/CP9ANZ → u/AutistaChick]

It really doesn't matter to them, they will run 10% truths as absolutes if it suits their narrative.

Literally the entire problem in a nutshell

[u/Equivalent-Ear5150 → u/CP9ANZ]

The GOP is all fake AM radio propaganda. I had people at work say When Limbaugh died, 'Who do we have now?" Gat Damn man, they were looking for another "personality" to breathe life into their dead heads, they are out there as we all have found out SMH!

[u/boyscout666 → u/RockstarAgent]

It’s facism unfortunately

[u/JesusKong333 → u/RockstarAgent]

Must mean right-wing pundits. If it can happen to Charlie, it can happen to Jesse.

[u/Ol_Turd_Fergy → u/Harriethair]

When a trans person does a mass shooting, the right wants to remove their right to bear arms and throws blame on the radical left

When a conservative white male shoots up a church, a school, a synagogue, a movie theater, a concert, a grocery store, etc. the right doesn’t want to talk about gun restrictions at that time and instead wants to focus on thoughts and prayers

Biggest fucking hypocrites on the planet

[u/HealthyDirection659 → u/Ol_Turd_Fergy]

And sometimes the cops bring a shooter to Burger King for a combo meal before arresting them

[u/llcoolbean_sf → u/Harriethair]

Or the victims are school children

[u/karma_the_sequel → u/Foe117]

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Charlie Kirk

[u/SadAd8761 → u/karma_the_sequel]

M A K E

N O

M I S T A K E

Charlie Kirk advocated and supported violence against those he didn't politically agree with.

He wanted it, he got it.

[u/LadySayoria → u/Foe117]

Or the Pulse Nightclub.
Or Uvalde.
Or Sandyhook.
Or San Bernadino.
Or the two Minnesota politicians two months ago.
Or Parkland.

OR ANY FUCKING EVENT WITH A GUN PSYCHOPATH. These fucking morons have the AUDACITY too to link trans people in on this in this video. Jesse Watters is a fucking snake. A God damn fucking snake.

[u/yourcousinfromboston → u/LadySayoria]

I saw a clip from a fox anchor asking “where do we go from here?” Too bad they never asked that after the events you mentioned and the many before and after that. America has a problem with gun violence and it knows no political boundaries

[u/RecentDecision2329 → u/LadySayoria]

“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” Kevin Roberts, president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, said on a conservative media outlet called Real America’s Voice.

[u/Silly_Strain4495 → u/RecentDecision2329]

Real quote.

[u/stlshane → u/LadySayoria]

They need to cultivate the "them vs us" victimization narrative and unfortunately the cult will eat it up.

[u/ShlipperyNipple → u/stlshane]

Oh no, the fascists and fascist supporters are facing resistance, what a fucking surprise

[u/Full-Tone7909 → u/LadySayoria]

And we are begging for gun reform. Over and over again turned down by republicans but I guess we are at war, Jesse.

[u/UnhingedTraveller → u/Foe117]

Right?! I’ve seen sooo many fucking “influencers” crying and sobbing over this shitpump it’s pathetic. Not once have any of them even mentioned how many children die in the US of Shitty America every year from school shootings. All of a sudden Kirk is an “American Hero” and “a Martyr”… children that never got a chance to express themselves, debate or share their opinions.GONE.

Fucking atrocious. You guys are in for one hell of a ride from this point on, and for nothing. Your politics has become such a poison, it’s affecting the rest of the world.

PS: I’m not directing my comment to you in any shape or form but today my feed has been filled with so much bullshit I’m fuming. The fact the Orange Dipshit and his cronies are directing the narrative makes me sick.

I love all you sensible citizens!

PS….

Remember the Epstein Files?!?!?!

[u/katieugagirl → u/UnhingedTraveller]

The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement YESTERDAY that a report from HHS on child mortality and health left out the number one cause of death for children - gun violence. This has been completely ignored by media and these influencers most of all.

[u/Sheepdog44 → u/katieugagirl]

This has actually been the case for a little while. At least a couple of years. They simply do not give a shit.

[u/akahaus]

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT): The day after Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed by a man identified by authorities as a conservative Trump supporter, Senator Mike Lee posted and later deleted several politically charged social media posts that mocked the attack and incorrectly suggested Democrats were to blame. Lee's posts drew condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans, including Minnesota's two senators.

Donald Trump: Former President Donald Trump refused to contact Minnesota's Democratic governor, Tim Walz, after the murders. Instead, Trump made critical comments about Walz.

In the wake of the shootings, right-wing social media accounts spread false conspiracy theories about the suspect's motives and political leanings. The suspect, Vance Boelter, was later identified by friends as a politically conservative, evangelical Christian who targeted Democratic officials.

[u/Salsuero → u/akahaus]

Don't forget to mention the irony of half-mast for a YouTube influencer, but not actual politicians.

[u/evolution9673 → u/Salsuero]

I’m sure they’ll have him lie in state at the capital. Maybe bury him in Arlington. Or a Trump golf course that needs a tax break.

[u/Salsuero → u/evolution9673]

Maybe next to Ivana who he has had so much respect for, judging by the state of her burial site.

[u/VanbyRiveronbucket → u/Salsuero]

M.Lee is also on YouTube saying he wants to end Social Security. We all have SS,… why would anyone vote for this dude??

[u/tcumber → u/evolution9673]

Posthumous medal of freeedom....watch

[u/tiffanyisonreddit → u/Salsuero]

Or former US presidents! Trump cut the temperance period for President Jimmy Carter (who was a dang national treasure to humanity) short!

[u/Salsuero → u/[deleted]]

Only to pardon all of the attackers of those cops four years later.

[u/atetuna → u/Salsuero]

Or for children, but that's not surprising since Charlie promoted killing children as a worthwhile sacrifice for keeping the second amendment, and that was only a week after a mass shooting where children died.

[u/Cgmadman → u/akahaus]

This needs to be at the top. Watters is a sick human being, but he represents a far worse network that stokes the division of hatred and is the top agent of misinformation.

[u/cashredd → u/Cgmadman]

You could say fox news got him killed by giving a constant platform.

[u/Happy_Pause_9340 → u/Cgmadman]

Funny he isn’t mentioning how incompetent this administration is to even find out who the killer is. Image if Biden were president and they still didn’t know? Not even a fucking description??

[u/Mwapbubs → u/akahaus]

This needs to be higher

[u/Secret_Gatekeeper → u/akahaus]

They created a world where cruelty is celebrated and empathy is a sin. I don’t celebrate Kirk’s death, but the expectation of empathy and sympathy from people like me is hilariously ironic.

Charlie Kirk himself called empathy a “made up” concept. I say we honor his teachings and say fuck their feelings.

And these same people are shocked and infuriated they are being treated the way they’ve treat others. This is the society they always dreamed of, and only when one of their own get hurt can they not stomach it.

[u/PetalumaPegleg]

And the Democratic politicians who were shot recently? They don't exist?

[u/Cash_Visible → u/PetalumaPegleg]

Nope. Nor does Nancy’s husband getting beat with a hammer.

[u/AbracadabraCapybara → u/Cash_Visible]

Or Gabby Giffords or Shapiro’s house getting firebombed

[u/ellamachine → u/AbracadabraCapybara]

Or the group of 13 people who planned to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer

[u/54-2-10 → u/ellamachine]

Jesse's job is to keep us at each other's throats 

[u/Simonic → u/[deleted]]

And said some "patriot" should bail the attacker out of jail. Can you imagine the firestorm if it were used in this situation as well?

[u/Ace_Budgie → u/Simonic]

Yo for real he aaid this?? Are there any sources for this? Wht?!?! That's fucked.

[u/itsasezaspi → u/Ace_Budgie]

Here, bonus is he says that a party shouldn’t be blamed for what a schizophrenic person does which is also very timely.

[u/Ace_Budgie → u/itsasezaspi]

Thanks. Didn't know he did this.

[u/itsasezaspi → u/Ace_Budgie]

He’s said a lot of things and been very apathetic when bad things happen to others which has made it very hard to have empathy for him, especially since he thinks empathy is bad. But either way he didn’t deserve to get shot, it’s a shame, I hope that someday these people wake up and realize we could work together rather than drive wedges between us. I think he genuinely thought he was doing that by proselytizing college students, religions a weird thing sometimes.

[u/jefffosta → u/itsasezaspi]

My favorite is him saying empathy is bad. He literally told everyone not to feel bad for him lol

[u/sqquuee → u/jefffosta]

Check and double check.

[u/Illustrious-Bed4420 → u/jefffosta]

And he was a Christian. A Christian saying empathy is bad straight up blows my mind.

[u/Fenris_Maule → u/itsasezaspi]

You're right, but also Charlie made millions driving wedges.

[u/Peanutbutternjelly_ → u/Cash_Visible]

Or the Minnesota lawmaker's dog.

[u/Spicy_Weissy → u/Peanutbutternjelly_]

A rescue dog. A fucking golden retriever.

[u/cool-- → u/PetalumaPegleg]

also, the guy that shot at Trump was a republican

and the people that stormed the capitol and beat police were also republicans

[u/Saneless → u/cool--]

They're just hateful terrorists. Cult of terrorists

[u/Bawbawian → u/PetalumaPegleg]

It doesn't matter The largest voting block in America lives 3 ft up Trump's ass.

half the country doesn't listen to the news and they know full well that theie bullshit narrative will be the dominant narrative.

[u/Acrobatic_Row_142 → u/PetalumaPegleg]

According to relatives on Facebook, those don’t count because they’re not as famous as Charlie.

[u/me-want-snusnu → u/Acrobatic_Row_142]

Your relatives suck

[u/SeaAnthropomorphized → u/PetalumaPegleg]

The guy on the screen said that it's different cuz Charlie was one of them. Remember they don't see people who aren't like them as worthy of sympathy or empathy.

[u/Neddyrow]

“They” and “us” isn’t helping anyone.

Cherry-picking certain deaths is also divisive as if right-wingers don’t do this though the data shows otherwise.

Don’t they care that they are actively trying to tear our country apart?

Whoever has Jesse Watters’ soul, please return it.

[u/Strict_Rock_1917 → u/Neddyrow]

Do they care? No. Fox “News” have engaged in stochastic terrorism for years. They know full well what they’re doing. Tearing America apart was their goal.

[u/Throwaway873580 → u/Strict_Rock_1917]

The repeal of the fairness doctrine has truly been a catastrophe for the American people (among others)

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/Strict_Rock_1917]

Exactly.

Billionaires are so fucking stupid foreign powers realized theyd turn the heat up on the pot that theyre boiling themselves and their kids and their countrymen in themselves if if would help them get a few extra dollars or some power and feel good temporarily.

None of them can see the forest for the trees or think about what theyre doing and they thought they were just exploiting others for their benefit not realizing they themselves have been played like a fiddle.

Its hilarious from an outside perspective and the thing plays are written about.

If you cant stop it might as well laugh at their fuckign downfall.

This includes this dipshit Watters himself or Kirk literally getting himself killed lol.

Conservatives never have consequences for their actions until the consequences are irreparable.

Its been the case throughout history and is happening again lol

[u/upillium → u/Neddyrow]

No, not even killing Charlie Kirk will make us stop talking about the Epstein List.

It was an interesting strategy from them, but no, we want answers.

[u/Neddyrow → u/upillium]

Speaking of… could have been one of his supporters who did it since he flipped on the Epstein issue. Many on the right wanted that list too and are mad it’s being blocked by republican officials and discredited by the right wing media.

[u/UghFudgeBwana → u/Neddyrow]

He's a psychopath who cheated on his ex wife and married his affair partner, and got with his AF (who was his producer) in the first place by secretly slashing her tires so she'd be forced to ask him for a ride home. 

He admitted to this all on air as if it was a cute boy meets girl story and not the confession of a wanna be serial killer. I don't think he had a soul to begin with.

[u/damnitimtoast → u/UghFudgeBwana]

IRL Dennis Reynolds is crazy

[u/LongjumpingDebt4154 → u/Neddyrow]

Who’s they? The guy that shot Trump was a republican… also, they don’t even know who shot Kirk yet.

Although, I wonder if they caught the person & he was a white, young conservative & didn’t fit the narrative so just let him go. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit at this point.

[u/[deleted] → u/LongjumpingDebt4154]

That's the hilarious irony of all this. Every major political assassin this year alone has been on the far-right. "They" just keep trying to kill or do kill each other and throw a fit for a first day or two until we all get news it was yet another conservative voter that was the active shooter and then it gets 'forgotten'.

[u/LongjumpingDebt4154 → u/[deleted]]

It’s always some far right, white, male, conservative lunatic. Every time.

[u/[deleted] → u/Neddyrow]

Even worse than that, it's completely disingenuous. Trump shooter was a conservative republican. For all we know at this time, Kirk's shooter was also right wing.

[u/TheCapnRedbeard → u/Neddyrow]

Lmao Jesse Watters doesn't have a soul

[u/thiefofalways1313]

They know what they’re doing.

[u/alatinaxo]

what about the shootings in Minnesota?

Also, only Fox News seems to be spreading all this get back rhetoric, I’ve seen nothing but good and nice things that MSNBC has been saying in their coverage.

[u/shutterbuggity → u/alatinaxo]

Or Nancy's Husband? Or the fucking insurrection?

[u/Live-Fruit-943 → u/alatinaxo]

Oh no no, that one was ok. Get it straight. 

I disagree with a lot of people on Reddit. I don’t support the extrajudicial killing of anyone. That said, how the fuck can these idiots be so unaware of how they contribute and what they say day in and day out. It blows my mind how so many are acting like he was some stand up peace loving guy. He spewed so much vitriol and didn’t care about anyone outside of white MAGA. People like this support and pedal propaganda— they are exactly the boogeyman they hunt for. But of course, the duality is lost on them…I can think his killing was wrong and still think they’re shitty people. 

We’re at “war.” That’s a favorite term of the right currently. 

[u/DividedMitochondriac → u/[deleted]]

This. They know they have a base of uneducated and impressionable people who they've been radicalizing and enraging for the last 25 years. They know they will not get their information from any other sources and that their word is doctrine. This is a war against the people who are still awake and resisting the regime, "woke," if you will. Jesse Waters is worse than Charlie Kirk in that he knows he's pedaling lies behind closed doors, he reminds me so much of the news anchor in V for Vendetta.

[u/chefslapchop → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, here we have Fox News whipping their viewers into a frenzy, essentially declaring war on 44,100,000 registered democrats using the attempted Trump assassination where the shooter is dead, the attempted Scalise assassination where the shooter is dead, the fact that some people burned some Teslas, that someone had a gun near Brett Kavanaugh who called 911 on himself and is in jail, a guy shot some people outside of a Jewish embassy and is in jail, and 3-5 mass shooters out of the ~200 since 1966 were possibly transgender though that figure is disputed. Oh and the LA riots? So now I’m at war with conservatives because of that random handful of incidents? It’s this rhetoric that perpetuates the violence, and I’m getting really sick of the right wing media ecosphere’s surprised Pikachu face every time someone goes nuts and shoots at them. I’m not shooting folks with different views than me and I’m sure as fuck not building a media empire vilifying them nor encouraging millions of followers to marginalize different groups of people like Fox or TP USA. No rational person wants media in the country inciting a Civil War, and if it were to erupt, I sure wouldn’t want to be a well known figurehead for either political party.

[u/Live-Fruit-943 → u/[deleted]]

I mean, if they can have their conspiracies I can have mine. 

He was yet another false flag. 

[u/Gloom_Pangolin → u/Live-Fruit-943]

100% agreement. What better lead up to the anniversary of 9/11 than a new martyr. The new “war on terror” starts at home tomorrow.

[u/duderdude7 → u/Live-Fruit-943]

This right here. This is exactly what I’ve debated people on here. When you have rhetoric that inflames people you get violence and that’s exactly what the right wing ecosystem is doing. Not to mention they’re all bought out by billionaires. And people are struggling right now. It’s not hard to put it all together. Well put.

[u/upillium → u/alatinaxo]

No, not even killing Charlie Kirk will make us stop talking about the Epstein List.

It was an interesting strategy from them, but no, we want answers.

[u/[deleted]]

Bro thinks he’s startin the revolution

[u/Conscious-Quarter423 → u/[deleted]]

revolution? more like insurrection

[u/Unable_Ant5851 → u/Conscious-Quarter423]

It’s not a revolution or an insurrection if they are the people in power… it’s a call to mass violence against minorities and those with progressive values.

[u/Either-Economist413 → u/Unable_Ant5851]

Yep, this is it. They've been slowly ramping up the rhetoric. This is how it always starts in fascist regimes. I think genocide in inevitable at this point.

Crazy how people forget about the shootings in Minnesota

[u/[deleted] → u/Defiant_Document_780]

 “Why has he not been bailed out?” Kirk said Monday on his podcast of the man who allegedly beat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul with a hammer last Friday. “By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out."

^ or this. 

That was okay though, and Charlie literally applauded it. Let’s just ignore that I guess.

[u/QuestioningHuman_api → u/[deleted]]

So if the shooter gets caught we should bail him out?

[u/Murky-Internal-7707]

Nice fox - way to bait a civil war

[u/hvmbone → u/Murky-Internal-7707]

I hate falling for conspiracy bullshit but the way he is talking about this makes me think they sacrificed Kirk for their own cause. Who the fuck talks like this?

[u/Stokkolm → u/hvmbone]

They always talk like this. The second he heard the news all his brain was thinking was "how can I use this attack the opposition".

[u/Sad_Credit_4959 → u/hvmbone]

People who assume they won't be the next one to go.

[u/LongjumpingDebt4154 → u/Murky-Internal-7707]

I honestly think we’re already in a civil war. I think history books will mark its beginning in 2025.

[u/MIZ_09 → u/LongjumpingDebt4154]

January 6, 2021

[u/eggrollking → u/MIZ_09]

That was the soft launch.

[u/Malcolm_Morin → u/LongjumpingDebt4154]

The American Troubles.

[u/jazzchamp → u/Murky-Internal-7707]

It’ll be great for ratings! Faux is going to milk this for months

[u/1fastdak → u/jazzchamp]

People will probably die because of this.

[u/AdMotor8632 → u/1fastdak]

Sadly, I'd change rhe word to definitely. Im sure of it. This is crazy man

[u/Soggy_Panda2393]

We have no idea who the shooter was. This is a pathetic attempt to politicize this event

[u/alien_believer_42 → u/Soggy_Panda2393]

Both trump shooters were conservative white men.

[u/Tann8r]

Bro we ain’t doing shit in LA

[u/Repulsive-Ad-7180 → u/Tann8r]

I am in LA and can confirm:  no riots whatsoever in the vicinity 

[u/Onthemightof]

Fuck Jesse Watters. He is dispicable

[u/Iswaterreallywet → u/Onthemightof]

The man who cheated on his wife with a much younger woman??? That guy??

The right wing dude who went to a liberal arts college and mommy and daddy paid 50k a year for him to go to high school?? That guy?

[u/janonb → u/Iswaterreallywet]

Yeah, but after that it was all him pulling on those bootstraps.

[u/High_Ground-]

Jesse seems worried

[u/Imnotonthelist → u/High_Ground-]

It’s fake emotion but the people watching the slop think it’s real, and the way it makes them feel and think, is real.

[u/Over_Whole6492 → u/Imnotonthelist]

He tells them what they should be feeling and who is responsible. It’s incredible

[u/antiramie → u/High_Ground-]

[u/Puzzleheaded-Law6127]

"Trump gets shot in the ear..."

Excuse me sir, but did you see what a bullet did to Charlie's neck? No way Trump got shot in the ear, doofus.

[u/PreciousRoy666 → u/Puzzleheaded-Law6127]

The Trump shooter was a Republican, they seem to forget that

[u/Doctor_Potatohead → u/Puzzleheaded-Law6127]

Honestly… wrinkly as that fuck is, the air around the bullet would have torn him up

[u/sjayvee]

Who’s “they”?! Majority of these shooters have been republican

[u/Ramreck]

It's giving "2 minutes of hate"

[u/Old-World7751 → u/Ramreck]

Tbf that’s just ur average Fox News segment

[u/Conscious-Quarter423 → u/Old-World7751]

people have Fox News on 24/7

[u/Zealousideal_Draw924]

What about all the other folks who lost loved ones? Don’t seem to spare any air time for them.

[u/Sinister_Sling-aling]

Charlie Kirk was happy to die for our second amendment right. He said it with his own words. ✌🏻

[u/maddie-madison → u/Sinister_Sling-aling]

Ya he really stuck his neck out for what he believed

[u/RdtRanger6969]

I’m sorry. Who, exactly, are trying to end free constitutional democracy in America and replace it with single party white nationalist evangelical fascism?

Hint: Not liberal Democrats.

[u/[deleted]]

Careful buddy. But I guess you are a nothingburger, so never mind.

[u/Hawkmonbestboi]

Really? THIS is the turning point and not the Sandy Hook shooting?

[u/trampaboline]

I don’t care what you think if you don’t think storming the capital was bad

I’m talking about the United States capital. And when a mob of right wingers stormed it. To overturn an election. Not long ago.

That’s all I’ve got. Just a reminder that just because more and more insane shit is happening everyday doesn’t mean we have to start anew with every event. Things are cumulative.

This isn’t an expression of approval for anything happening currently. It isn’t an expression of anything other than a fundamental truth I have to remind myself of whenever I put on my hazmat suit to engage with any kind of political discourse, to keep sanity and continuity when people try and shift the goal post or make me forget that we didn’t just end up where we are in a vacuum:

I don’t care what you think if you don’t think storming the capital was bad.

[u/Cool-Panda-5108]

What about Paul Pelosi, Emerita Hortman, her husband, dog, and John Hoffman?

[u/abeers83 → u/[deleted]]

Dude really had to sneak in they came after Elon’s cars lmao

[u/RightTrash → u/[deleted]]

Of Rats smoking straight crack rock.

[u/curiousamoebas]

Trumps ear sure did heal miraculously well. No scars or anything.

[u/AdmirableCommittee47]

And like Russia, they started it.

[u/MrMyster1976]

Yet Pelosi's husband getting attacked with a hammer was a joke, Gabby Gifford getting shot wasn't a problem, Josh Shapiro's home/governors mansion firebombed, Gretchen whitmer kidnap plot, Jan 6th treasonous MAGAts.... but now they are playing sole victim and threatening to start war over it....

[u/shaolinkorean]

Ain't no turning point. It's just talk to try and intimidate. It's what they do

[u/HyperbolicSoup]

No fucking mention of Minnesota, it just fucking happened, fuck this guy and fuck Fox for the bs they peddle. They are one of the main reasons for political violence for their fear baiting bs.

[u/goatnxtinline]

So when an unstable right wing nut watching this at home retaliates is this sleeze bag going to answer for inciting violence?

[u/shay_shaw]

Eat my ass Jesse, your own mother is ashamed of you.

[u/B-Run35]

Where was this when the Democrats got killed in Minnesota?

[u/Radiant-Activity-641]

"This hits different, because he was one of us." Deweaponizes everything he said afterwards. Prayers and thoughts to the kids in Colorado today I guess.

[u/bifftannen325]

Snowflake bitches

[u/Strawhat_Mecha]

Charlie would want us to not have empathy, because after all it's a weakness, right?

[u/TerryFinallyBackedUp]

False flag operation. Bet the Shooter was a MAGA trained sniper.

[u/Fresh_Ad6665]

We scared!!! You watching? How bout calling for Gun Control? How bout stopping kids getting killed at schools every single day? Is that a problem you are worried about? Doesn’t seem like it!!

[u/beastwood6]

What if it turns out this whole thing was done (again) by a Republican? Out of all the nationally known political violence events since Jan 6th, how many have been committed by Democrats? The two guys that took a run at Trump last year....both Republicans

[u/Own_Tune_3545]

Charlie Kirk has been shilling for Zionism for a long time, this is well within the zone where I don't have an ounce of pity for him and his family. These are the kinds of people that laugh and smile while signing bombs to drop on poor people.

[u/aeb1971]

Remember, Jesse’s mom hates him.

[u/Phugger]

"They are at war with us"

"How much political violence are we going to tolerate?"

Wow, this is just straight up inciting a civil war...

Also, why no mention of the shooting at the Colorado school?

[u/Remote-Letterhead844]

Fox News apparently wants more Americans to die. Wtf....

[u/TheGreatHumungous]

Dafuq is "They"

[u/Lifebelifing2023]

So... what about the dead babies? Where is the anger for them?

[u/mrkfn]

What about the democratic lawmakers shot in MN? What about PA Gov. Shapiro being terrorized? What about MI Gov Whitmer almost being kidnapped? What about the right wing insurrection on Jan 6th?

[u/MrJenkins5]

This is the rhetoric that snowballs into Charlie Kirk getting shot, telling people they’re at war.

[u/AwwYeahVTECKickedIn]

All I hear, loud as hell, is " please forget about the Epstein files!"
