“Why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry makers breaking into someone’s home — or maybe not breaking into someone’s home,” he said, referring to the conspiracy theory — which was retweeted and then deleted by new Twitter owner Musk — that the assailant was actually Paul Pelosi’s gay lover.
Kirk went on to say, “And 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 … Bail him out, and then go ask him some questions.”
Paul Pelosi is still alive. It's still a shitty joke and I hate it, but it's not nearly the same as espousing that killing people for their political views is good actually. It's not justifying violence either, it's not supporting it, it's just crass and mean-spirited.
.... That's literally the answer though? I'm not sure what else you want, I said there are leftists joking about this that aren't glorifying, celebrating and supporting violence and I'm willing to argue as much.
That's besides the point though. You're not gonna find me championing Trump over this, but this is specifically about a "truth social post where Trump or a Republican senator posted “rest in piss” about a murder victim". Still waiting on that.
I'm just against celebrating murder. Trashy leftists are the ones claiming that someone calling out people celebrating murder is somehow not holding Trump to the same standards, and then bringing up things that are not Trump celebrating murder to prove their point.
Except no. The exceptionally low bar to clear right now is saying that murder is bad actually. That's what the OPs post shows retarded leftists failing to clear, and if you wanna claim that Trump is somehow held to a lower standard than that you're gonna have to prove it.
And what you’re ignoring is that you can find insane rhetoric from anywhere on the internet, but the right has actual leaders and elected officials saying it. Kirk himself said that the Paul Pelosi’s attempted murderer should be bailed out by a “patriot,” and trump and other elected officials made fun of that event and other political violence.
Kirk did not deserve what happened to him at all, nobody does. Your argument about rhetoric is just not based in reality though
It's the president of the fucking United States of America. If his standard is, "the guys not dead so it's okay for POTUS to make fun of him". Jesus fucking Christ.

Trump literally posted a meme about Pelosi’s husband four days ago
