They shot the messenger… now WE are the message.

Charlie Kirk is dead. Shot. Murdered. Assassinated. Pick whatever word makes you feel the weight of it.

And almost instantly, the same people who've spent years branding him "toxic," "extremist," "dangerous," turned around and smirked about it. Teachers openly saying America wasn't great until he was killed. Media hacks suggesting he "brought it on himself." Politicians dancing around his corpse like it's some kind of win for democracy. They don't even pretend anymore.

The ones celebrating this are vile, sub-human in nature. You don't cheer the murder of a man because of political ideology unless something is broken inside you. The so-called "party of peace" was always a lie. These people are evil.

These aren't just some fringe lunatics cheering from the sidelines. These are actual politicians. People who are supposed to be representatives of the American people. A man is assassinated for speaking his mind, and when the House of Representatives paused for a moment of silence ... just silence ... Democrats booed. Let that sit for a second. They booed.

Charlie wasn't toxic. He was effective. He could stand toe to toe with people who hated him, keep it polite, keep it sharp, and leave them sputtering. That's why they hated him. Because he didn't scream, he didn't burn buildings, he didn't sic a mob on anyone. He changed minds. He debated. He was calm. He was good. And they couldn't beat him in that arena.

So they killed him.

Don't give me the "both sides" line either. Spare me. When's the last time a left-wing commentator was murdered by a Republican? The left has spent decades throwing every slur in the book at anyone who isn't in lockstep with their worldview: Nazi, bigot, homophobe, sexist, xenophobe, racist ... pick your poison. And after left-wing idealogs' marinated in that language long enough and after telling themselves for years that the other half of the country is less than human, eventually someone pulls the trigger.

That's where we are.

Charlie's message was simple: talk to each other. Don't use violence. Argue, disagree, push back, but don't take up arms against your neighbor. It's okay to agree to disagree. Talk to one another! He lived that. He modeled it. He stood in hostile rooms and campuses and took hostile questions and handled them with civility. That's the guy they're celebrating being shot.

And the people who claim to be guardians of democracy? They applauded the bullet. They booed the silence. They branded him "toxic" for daring to have a different opinion. And now they have the gall to look at the rest of us and say we're the extremists?

They call us fascists. Constantly. But here's the thing: we aren't the ones murdering people to shut them up. You know who does that? Actual fascists.

History is littered with these moments. Rome killed Cicero for being too persuasive. The French Revolution cheered when priests and teachers lost their heads. Totalitarians don't fear weapons nearly as much as they fear words that cut through the nonsense. You don't martyr the weak. You martyr the effective.

Charlie was a faithful Christian. That was central to who he was. He wanted to be remembered for that faith. And now, whether the people who hated him like it or not, he will be. Because you can't separate the faith from the man, and you can't erase what he stood for by putting a bullet in him. If anything, you just carved it deeper into the record.

And let's not forget … Charlie wasn't just a commentator. He was a husband. He was a father of a young daughter and a baby boy. Now those kids will grow up without their dad because someone decided a political disagreement was worth a bullet. That's what the cheers and applause are really celebrating.

They martyred him. Plain and simple.

And here's the part no one wants to say out loud: when you martyr a man, you don't end the message. You amplify it. The left thought they silenced him. What they did was give him a microphone bigger than he ever held while alive.

They shot the messenger but that only amplified the message.

God Bless Charlie and his family.

We'll take it from here brother… Now WE are Charlie.
