After the murder of Melissa Hortman und her husband in June 2025, a number of prominent figures in the U.S., claimed that “the left” was to blame. The arrested suspect was a Trump supporter though.
And since some people are basically claiming that the murder investigation is already solved, blaming once again “the left”, even though the suspect is at large and no manifesto or anything – is it an attempt to mislead the public about what really happened?
After all, what is known at this point? A single sniper shot killed Charlie Kirk. That sounds like a professional was involved. But that in itself doesn’t imply that it had to be a leftist, unless one assumes that a politically right-oriented shooter would have been too drunk at that time of day.
Also, it happened in Utah. Utah has a Republican governor. And crime is according to some figures in the U.S. only a problem in states with Democratic governors.
So, could it have been an inside job, to clean the ranks of those, who are considered to be a problem for the administration?
Charlie Kirk clearly had at least access to the inner circle of the Trump administration, and he had some media reach. Based on that, he may have obtained information, that someone didn’t want the public to learn. Information, such as possible insight into the Epstein files – and possibly details about what Mr Trump and Mr Epstein were all doing together, before they had a falling out, apparently over Virginia Giuffre having worked for Mr Trump, and then having been hired to work for Mr Epstein instead.
The are other possibilities as well though. Charlie Kirk pointed out in 2023 that the second amendment comes with some gun deaths. He did consider it “a cost worth paying”, and was supportive of the second amendment. But perhaps some NRA supporter didn’t like, what may have sounded like a hint of criticism.
He was also talking about second amendment being there, “so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government” – and that doesn’t sound like something those would like, who want to decide for the people that Republicans ought to rule them forever and about everything – even telling the people what to think, despite no evidence even pointing in that direction, such as with the claims of a “leftist perpetrator” in the case of the murder of Melissa Hortman and her husband.
And further speculating, the murder could have been, because the girlfriend of the shooter, fell in love with Charlie Kirk, and she split up with the shooter over it – and now he is perhaps comforting her in his arms.
And another story, after the attack on Hamas leadership in Qatar, perhaps a retaliation was ordered.
That said, it sure may have also been, as is implied by some commentators, that a radical far-left organization is on the loose, killing Democrats and Republicans left and right, until none remains. But, based on the facts at hand, to claim it to be so, while the criminal investigation barely started, that sounds quite like a fictional thriller movie some want to sell.
