 Vile TMZ Staff Caught Cheering Moments Before Announcing Charlie Kirk’s Death, Outlet Wildly Claims It Was Over a ‘Car Chase,’ Excuse Obviously Falls Flat

TMZ faced massive backlash after staff of the outlet could be heard erupting in cheers seconds before host Harvey Levin announced Charlie Kirk’s death on Wednesday.

The footage, captured during a live broadcast covering Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University, revealed audible cheers, laughter, and applause from the newsroom as producers relayed President Donald Trump’s confirmation of Kirk’s passing.

Kirk, 31, a beloved husband, father of two very young children, and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck from 200 yards away while speaking on campus, in what Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has called a “political assassination.”

In a desperate bid to deflect the outrage, TMZ issued a statement claiming the cheers were unrelated to Kirk’s death.

According to the outlet, the noise came from employees in another part of the building who were watching a live police car chase unfolding in Temple City, California, not the tragic announcement. Hosts Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere addressed the controversy on air, calling the laughter “tone-deaf” in hindsight and apologizing for the poor optics during a time of national mourning.

“As we were reporting the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there were some people in the back room away from our news desk who were watching a car chase, and they were laughing and clapping…they were not laughing that way about Charlie Kirk’s assassination,” Levin claimed.

Alleged Leaked ATF Doc Claims Weapon Near Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Site Had Cartridges Engraved with Transgender and Antifa Phrases and Symbols

An allegedly leaked document from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) claims that the weapon found near the site of Charlie Kirk’s assassination was equipped with cartridges engraved with symbols and phrases tied to transgender and Antifa ideology.

As the manhunt for the shooter enters its second day, the leaked ATF document suggests a possible ideological motive behind the killing.

The FBI confirmed during a press conference on Thursday morning that the weapon was found in a wooded area near the campus.

Conservative political commentator Steven Crowder obtained the document and posted it to X on Thursday morning before the press conference.

The document, which Crowder claims to have obtained from a credible source, describes the cartridges as bearing etched symbols including the transgender flag colors and phrases such as “Trans Rights Are Human Rights,” hinting at a premeditated act driven by radical beliefs.

MSNBC Fires Matthew Dowd For Suggesting Charlie Kirk Had It Coming; Liz Warren, Jen Psaki Double Down

MSNBC has fired political analyst Matthew Dowd, after he suggested that conservative activist and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday, had it coming – Variety reports.

During coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens” – a disgusting framing in itself, to which Dowd replied: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

Dowd’s comments set off a firestorm online – resulting in a public apology from MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler, who called the statement “inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable.”

“We apologize for his statements, as has he,” Kutler said from MSNBC’s X account. “There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise.”

FBI, Utah Officials Have “GOOD FOOTAGE OF KIRK SHOOTER” – Tracked Him from Hour Before Shooting to When He Jumped Off Building and Ran Through Neighborhood — THEY FOUND THE WEAPON IN THE WOODS!

FBI and Utah Department of Public Safety officials hold a news conference in Orem following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.

Kirk was assassinated while addressing students yesterday at the university.

Authorities provide updates on the suspect search and investigation.

According to the local investigator who spoke to reporters, officials tracked the killer from an hour before the shooting to when he jumped off the campus building and fled into a local neighborhood.

Utah official Beau Mason: Through all that work last night, we were able to make a few breakthroughs. We were able to track the movements of the shooter.

Starting at 11: 52 AM, the subject arrived on campus, shortly away from campus. We have tracked his movements onto the campus, through the stairwells, up to the roof, across the roof to a shooting location.

After the shooting, we were able to track his movements as he moved to the other side of the building, jumped off of the building and fled off of the campus and into a neighborhood. Our investigators have worked through those neighborhoods, contacting anybody they can with doorbell cameras, witnesses, and have thoroughly worked through those communities, trying to identify any leads.

We do have good video footage of this individual. We are not going to release that at this time. We are working through some technologies and some ways to identify this individual. If we are unsuccessful, we will reach out to you as the media and we will push that publicly to help us identify them.

But we are confident in our abilities right now, and we would like to move forward in a manner that keeps everyone safe and moves this process appropriately.

The FBI official Robert Bohls, then spoke and said they have GOOD FOOTAGE of the killer. They also found his rifle in the woods!

Bill Melugin added the killer appears to be college-aged.

Gov. JB Pritzker Blames Trump After Charlie Kirk Assassinated: ‘President’s Rhetoric Often Foments’ Violence

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, Illinois’ left-wing Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker decried “political violence” while accusing President Donald Trump of “fomenting” it — despite Pritzker’s own recent history of incendiary comments.

The extremist governor was appearing at the FABTECH exposition at Chicago’s McCormick Place expo center when he was asked by a member of the press about the shooting and murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which had occurred only moments before Pritzker stepped to the microphones.

After being asked his thoughts on the shooting in Utah, Pritzker had a quick word of sympathy for Kirk’s family, but then went straight to blaming conservatives and Donald Trump.

“Charlie Kirk has become a target for somebody. I don’t know whether it’s political violence, because I don’t know who did it,” Pritzker disingenuously said.

“But I will say that political violence, unfortunately, has been ratcheting up in this country,” he continued. “We saw the shootings, the killings in Minnesota. Uh, we’ve seen other political violence occur in other states. And I would just say, uh, it’s gotta stop.”

“And I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it,” he said.

He went on to claim that “January 6” was “political violence” despite the fact that the only people killed were two Trump supporters.

Stand-up ‘Comedian’ Calls Charlie Kirk “A Demon,” Mocks His Assassination as “White on White Crime” — “I’m Glad It Happened. I Got Giddy Reading It.”

In the wake of the shocking assassination of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk, the radical Left has once again revealed its true face of hatred and depravity.

Stand-up “comedian” Darius Dinkins took to Instagram and video to mock Kirk’s murder, spewing venom that shows just how emboldened the Left has become in celebrating political violence against conservatives.

On Instagram, Dinkins wrote:

“I can’t find it in my spirit to pretend. I envy those of you who can facade. But why would you?”

But he didn’t stop there. In an accompanying video, Dinkins doubled down, calling Kirk “a demon,” laughing off his assassination as “white on white crime,” and admitting he was “glad it happened” because he “got giddy reading it.”

Dinkins made it crystal clear that the far-left has abandoned all decency.

Darius Dinkins:
“I’m already seeing some of you all do it—that whole moral standpoint of, “Oh, I don’t care how you feel politically. Nobody deserves to…” Wrong. Some people do deserve to. He was a demon. Why do you all do this? Why do you all pretend to feel sad when a karmically deserved outcome hits someone who is evil? I don’t get it. I don’t understand.

“Oh, he had a family.” You know who else had families? Every single victim of the mass shootings that he’s repeatedly defended—the school shootings, the children of mass shootings that he’s excused, saying essentially they’re just collateral.

“Oh, he has kids. He has daughters.” You know what he said about his daughter? He said that he would force his daughter to give birth to the result of an assault if she got pregnant from it, and force her—even if she wanted to get rid of it. He would force her. They were going to hate him later anyway.

Got obliterated by a fellow white man. White-on-white crime, first of all. He passed doing what he loved, which was arguing with teenagers and scapegoating gang violence. So, at the end of the day, he got what he wanted.

I’m sick of some of you all. I’m sick of this respectability thing that we’re all just trying to get. He was a demon. I’m glad it happened. I got giddy reading it.

This idea that we need to be civil in the current American political landscape? Laughable. It’s laughable.”

Amid Charlie Kirk Assassination, Voter Intimidation Case Underscores The Left’s Violent Attempts To Silence Conservatives

harlie Kirk fiercely fought for unfettered free speech. The conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA was a leading voice of his generation because he was an indefatigable defender of the First Amendment. Kirk used words as weapons, and he used them well. He believed ideas, particularly foundational ideas, could and should be defended on the battlefield of vigorous debate. 

The left has spent a lot of time and money trying to silence Charlie Kirk and the untold numbers of college students he inspired to stand up and speak out. On Wednesday, an assassin’s bullet cut short the life of Kirk as he, fittingly, greeted students on a Utah college campus and expressed his opinions during the first stop of “The American Comeback Tour.” He was 31. 

Conservative speech has been under constant assault in the 21st century, especially so in the Trump era. Democrats and their allies in the deep state have stopped at nothing to stop President Donald Trump — from unconstitutionally attempting to keep the Republican off the ballot to indicting him and prosecuting him on trumped-up charges. 

And last summer, would-be assassins tried to silence Trump for good. At a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, a shooter came within a fraction of an inch of ending the president’s life. The killer fatally shot a Trump supporter and seriously injured two others at the rally before being shot dead by a Secret Service sniper.  

The left’s silencing treatment has hit average Americans, too. Backers of the MAGA movement have been targeted for daring to speak out in support of Trump, as a lawsuit heading to oral arguments next week underscores.

Assassinations Will Continue Until The GOP Creates Real Consequences For Leftist Violence

Charlie Kirk — a generational voice of the conservative movement — was assassinated Wednesday while hosting one of his famous campus discussion events.

We still don’t know the identity of the shooter, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know who is responsible. Radical leftists bear great blame for engaging in inflammatory rhetoric that can only be described as assassination prep. And Republicans bear responsibility, too, for letting it come to this.

Before Kirk died at the hands of an assassin, leftist radicals tried to kill Rep. Steve Scalise, President Donald Trump (twice), and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Statements of condemnation and condolence were issued, but that was it.

Mike Cernovich put it this way on X: “The weakness of the GOP led us to this moment. A mass shooter attempted to murder dozens of Republican congress members. Few people even know this happened. Republicans ‘just took it,’ as they always do. And now Charlie Kirk is dead. Recognize what time it is or resign.”

The leftists who support this violence — from elected Democrats to talking heads to the foot soldiers who cheer when someone like Kirk is murdered — have been conditioned to know their camp will suffer no real consequences when their violent worldview creates assassins who target conservatives. They’ve watched Republicans cave on every front, from culture to speech, elections, and even physical violence.

Go back to August of 2012, when 29-year-old Floyd Lee Corkins shot a security guard at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C.. According to the Department of Justice, Corkins targeted the Family Research Council because it recognized that marriage is between a man and a woman.

After being subdued, Corkins said: “I don’t like these people, and I don’t like what they stand for.”

Republicans blamed the shooting on “reckless rhetoric” but did nothing else to deter such rhetoric.

The Democrat Party Is A Domestic Terrorist Organization

After a long history of condoning, advocating, and participating in political violence, it is time to designate the Democrat Party a domestic terrorist organization.

Decades of extreme language, calling conservatives “Nazis,” claiming existential threats are around the corner in order to feed an assassination culture, and justifying the aftermath has brought a level of violence that is only one-sided: The left tries to murder or maim their political enemies.

On Wednesday afternoon, a shooter took the life of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, just as he was answering a question about left-wing violence in the United States.

Left-wing commentators at corporate media outlets — the mouthpieces of the Democrat Party — were quick to justify the violence, suggesting it was justified or that Kirk brought it on himself, even going as far as to suggest it was really a Trump supporter firing a gun in “celebration.”

Democrats have a long history of calling conservatives the most vile things our culture can think of, and their friends in the media spread the message to anyone who watches them.

Democrats have recently been saying they “cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore.”

Just yesterday, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said in an interview, “Our only opportunity, our only chance to save our democracy, is to fight fire with fire.”

Murphy brushed off “the fact that we’re blowing up norms,” adding that if you spend any more than “two seconds … being sorry for the fact that the old world doesn’t exist, then your democracy is gone.”

“We’re in a war right now to save this country, and so you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save the country,” he said. Murphy’s media pal salivated over the sentiment, wondering if there were enough people who believe it.

What do Democrats think is “necessary?” Well, perhaps it is bringing a knife to a “knife fight,” in the words of Democrat National Committee head Ken Martin.

After all, as Kirk pointed out earlier this year, 48 percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justifiable to assassinate Elon Musk, and 55 percent say the same about President Donald Trump.
