Right-leaning podcaster Joe Rogan has chimed in on the suspension of late night host Jimmy Kimmel amid pressure from the Trump administration, saying the government should not determine what comedians say and that conservatives were “crazy” to support any such interference.
He didn’t even say that though, this is driving me insane, he said that Trump and them were doing everything they could to pin the blame on the left and score political points from it, which is undeniable. He didn’t say anything about who he actually thought the shooter was.
I read it as him saying that the shooter was unquestionably right wing, which is different than saying that the right wing is desperate to prove that it’s anyone else.
The right also desperate to prove its somebody else because they want targets for political repression and kirk’s death is simply not useful otherwise.
Idk how true that is. I think its more that if we’re just going to have random people shooting folks at events it seems less bad if the people shot are the ones with a giant megaphone saying that the shootings should be seen as inevitable.
Its like, at least the guy that got shot had lived as millionaire for a decade and its not some kid this time
I can’t point to anyone notable that couldn’t be an AI or right winger sockpuppet account that actually cheered it on in the same sort of way that like republican politicians gleefully celebrated nancy pelosi’s husband being attacked.

He literally said that the right is “desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them”.
Which is not saying that the killer was one of them.
I see, you could actually interpret it either way.
How do you interpret it any way other than what it says? You are making an assumption if you interpret it differently than what he clearly stated.

Yes, just as there are those on the left who view the killing as deserved or somehow an acceptable outcome.
