Charlie Kirk Conspiracy Theories Roil MAGA Media

Right-wing media demands the “real” truth about Kirk’s death

ON THE SURFACE, the MAGA movement appears to be united after the murder of prominent activist and conservative media figure Charlie Kirk. They’re getting people fired from their jobs for social media posts that made light of, or even celebrated, Kirk’s death. They’re cruising the streets to demand random businesses lower their flags in his honor. And they’re plotting how to attack the institutions of the left, with Trump deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller vowing Monday to pursue a “vast domestic terror movement” targeting liberal foes.

Yet beneath that façade of unity, that appetite of anger, and that thirst for retribution, cracks are emerging as the always-paranoid right is pulled apart by conspiracy theories about Kirk’s murder and a sense that the Trump administration isn’t telling the truth about it.

After the arrest of suspect Tyler Robinson was announced on Friday, prominent right-wing media figures began to complain that the Trump administration couldn’t be telling the public the real story, noting that Robinson was a young white man from a Mormon family with no immediately clear political affiliations that could have inspired the shooting.

Prominent right-wing podcaster Michael Savage was one of the first MAGA figures to accuse the government of spinning the real truth of the assassination, claiming it was impossible for the killer to disassemble his gun and escape as quickly as the government had claimed.

“Something is wrong with this whole fucking picture!” Savage said in an episode of his show over the weekend.

Rapper Azealia Banks Claims Iryna Zarutska Was a ‘Spy/Prostitute’ and Murder Suspect Was a ‘Gov’t Hitman’

Rapper Azealia Banks wrote a wild conspiracy theory that the Ukrainian refugee who was killed on the Charlotte mass transit system is a “spy” and “prostitute,” and the murder suspect is a “government hitman.”

Iryna Zarutska, 23, was stabbed multiple times on the Charlotte light rail train on August 22. She died on the spot, bleeding to death on the floor of the train after the unprovoked attack from behind. Police later arrested Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, and charged hm for the woman’s murder.

But now, Azealia Banks says she thinks there is some sort of grand conspiracy taking place here. Instead of a cowardly murder, Banks seems to think there is something out of a bad Jason Bourne movie going on in North Carolina.

“Honestly guys – I don’t think this was random,” she wrote in her Wednesday X post. “Spirit tells me she was a spy/prostitute of some sort and he’s a contract killer for some government agency or another.”

“Because no one else would get let off FOURTEEN TIMES. We also have heard near zero from her friends/family/coworkers etc.,” Banks theorized — obviously wholly unaware that criminals are being let loose from jail wholesale by left-wing prosecutors, and “justice” systems in deep blue cities all across the country.

“She is definitely some Ukranian [sic] prostitute who was sent to spy and had some information someone didn’t want her to have and they offed her,” she declared.

“Parents randomly stuck in Ukraine due to the war? Come on…… And no community of young girls who would have been her peers came out to mourn her??? One friend named ‘Lonnie?’”

She continued, spinning more to her tale, writing, “That aunt and uncle have no occupation listed. The parents in Ukraine probably don’t even exist.”

House Republican Group Wants Probe into ‘Force’ Behind Left-Wing Violence

A group of Republican lawmakers are calling for a select committee to investigate “the money, influence, and power behind the radical left’s assault on America and the rule of law” in response to the assassination of conservative advocate Charlie Kirk.

The group of 23 members, led by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), made the request Thursday in a letter addressed to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), and House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH).

The letter argued:

In the wake of numerous attacks on our way of life, the destruction of the rule of law, and the murder of innocent Americans, prominent and unknown alike, we must take every step to follow the money and uncover the force behind the NGOs, donors, media, public officials, and all entities driving this coordinated attack.

Stupiditywatch: The confederacy of dunces on the left who wish Trump dead

Beyond words pathetic!  

It’s so pathetic that when some moonbat wishfully speculated on social media that Trump was dead because he had not been on T.V. for ten minutes, they all jumped on board.   

Millions of these dimwits gleefully accepted this bit of nonsense, believing it was true despite there being absolutely not a shred of evidence.  

They said he was incommunicado, but he was holding a four-hour cabinet meeting, which was being streamed. He golfed with his granddaughter.  He is hardly off of Truth Social for more than a few minutes.  

And yet they fell for it.  They are the most willing dupes on the planet.  They want him dead so badly.  

All their attempts at destroying the man failed. Their wholly unconstitutional lawfare failed; their plan to ruin him financially failed. The assassination attempts, the ease with which they occurred, suggest that the skids were greased; some very evil people wanted those assassins to succeed. Why was CNN present only at that Butler rally?  Someone knew there was a plan. How many were in on it?  That is the question of the day.

Since the past weekend, we’ve been treated to all manner of imbecility from the left.  

The despicably clownish governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, waxed rhapsodic about the possibility of Trump’s death.  

He thinks he’s funny, but he is ghoulish.  To think this man might have been vice president gives one serious pause, just as the thought of Kamala Harris as president is well and truly frightening.  

Then there is Jen Psaki, who is in the gutter of anti-Trumpism with mendacious Joy Reid, the always blindingly partisan Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper, and every reptile on MSNBC and CNN, etc.  

That so many members of our mind-numbed media fell for the suggestion that Trump was dead or ill shows just how unqualified they are to read their fabricated news to us.  

They broadcast their wishful thinking without a shred of evidence to support “theories” made up out of whole cloth.

Trump Is Alive. The Media’s Credibility Is Dead

To the surprise of nobody with a brain, President Donald Trump is alive and well. Over the weekend a bizarre conspiracy theory began circulating claiming Trump had died and that his death was being covered up. It mattered naught that he was spotted golfing and posting on social media.

Under normal circumstances, such an outlandish hoax probably would not warrant coverage. But the propaganda press jumped to cover the hoax, not because they believed Trump was dead, but because the story provided them an opportunity to recycle hysterical speculation about Trump’s health.

The irony of course is glaring. For four years, the same propaganda press either ignored President Joe Biden’s obvious physical and cognitive decline or explained it away. When it came to Biden, the media’s guiding principle was “look the other way.” When it comes to Trump, they eagerly amplify even the most unserious conspiracy if it offers a way to question his ability to execute the duties of his office.

Nowhere is this more apparent in The New York Times’ coverage of the hoax.

“President Trump is Alive. The Internet Was Convinced Otherwise,” The Times’ Katie Rogers wrote, peddling a fringe rumor as a legitimate storyline.

“President Trump had nothing on his public schedule for three days last week. He is often sporting a large, purple bruise on his right hand, which he sometimes slathers with makeup. His ankles are swollen. He is the oldest person to be elected president,” Rogers wrote. Only after painting an unflattering portrait of Trump did Rogers get around to mentioning the actual conspiracy theory.

Rogers lets the cat out of the bag about the real reason she wrote the piece, writing toward the end that “For years, justifiable concerns and questions about Mr. Trump’s health have often been met with obfuscation or minimal explanation from the people around him.”

In other words, the purpose of the article was never actually about the hoax itself; it was just an opportunity to regurgitate baseless speculations about Trump’s health.

This was in stark contrast to The Times’ coverage of President Joe Biden, who was rarely seen, rarely held cabinet meetings, and avoided the press at all costs.

When Biden resigned from the 2024 election, The Times’ Stuart A. Thompson wrote: “Far Right Spreads Baseless Claims About Biden’s Whereabouts.”

Thompson immediately dismissed the “conspiracy” theory before attacking anyone who questioned Biden’s sudden departure from the presidential race just weeks after a disastrous debate performance that left many questioning whether Biden was even able to function daily.

Or take MSNBC’s Jen Psaki — Biden’s former press secretary — who said, “We may never know why Donald Trump suddenly spends a week hiding entirely from the American public.”

Never mind that Trump wasn’t hiding at all — the statement allowed Psaki to peddle the hoax while planting the idea that Trump was being secretive or ill. Psaki, of course, spent years covering for Biden’s obvious decline.

The Associated Press couldn’t resist slanting the story either. A post on X read: “Trump says social media conspiracies about his death were wrong.”

Seventh AfD Candidate Dead in North Rhine-Westphalia Election Campaign

The online rumour mill has been given yet more fodder following the death of a seventh AfD North Rhine-Westphalia election candidate.

Hans-Joachim Kind, a candidate in Kremenholl, has died at the age of 80 of natural causes after a long illness, Welt reported on Wednesday afternoon.

Police say there is no indication of foul play surrounding any of the now seven deaths. The deputy state chairman of the AfD in North Rhine-Westphalia, Kay Gottschalk, also said on Tuesday there was “no indication” of “murder or anything similar” and that some of the deceased had “pre-existing medical conditions.”

But following the fourth reported death, party co-chair Alice Weidel shared a social media post saying the cluster was “statistically almost impossible.”

Gottschalk did add that “we will, of course, investigate these cases with the necessary sensitivity and care.”

Despite this caution, Politico journalist Pauline von Pezold accused the AfD of “causing its voters to lose faith in our democracy” over the growing list of deaths.

Rod Dreher wrote in these pages on Tuesday: “It must be hoped that the unfortunate and statistically unlikely deaths of four politicians from a party the German government is considering outlawing were nothing more than a fluke.”

Trump Trolls Leftists Questioning Whereabouts, Spreading Rumors of His Death: ‘Never Felt Better’

President Donald Trump trolled leftists who questioned where he was and spread baseless rumors on social media of his death over the weekend, informing them that he has “never felt better.”

“NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Also, DC IS A CRIME FREE ZONE!”

In a post on X, Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker responded to a post of Trump’s on Truth Social in which he threatened to send in federal support if the crime in Chicago was not addressed. In his post, Pritzker asked Trump for “proof of life.”

“Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first?” Pritzker wrote, adding that Chicago does not want him there.

Nutcase Leftists Are Adamant That Trump Is Terminally Ill

TDS riddled Left wing extremists have come up with a new source of hope, with many of them posting videos and posts claiming President Trumps is either terminally sick or already dead.

Their proof? Trump hasn’t been seen in public for a day or two, except for when he was spotted in public as recently as yesterday morning, of course.

Another piece of stone cold evidence they have for their whacked out theory is that JD Vance said this week that he was “ready to step in” if he had to when asked about his role as VP. As if he’d give any other answer.

Leftist lunatic David Pakman claimed that Trump “had not been seen” for three entire days and further suggested that his TruthSocial posts are now being written by AI.

It doesn’t seem to matter that Trump was out golfing the same morning.

After Days of Claiming Trump was Dead, Leftists Get a Nasty Shock

President Donald Trump walked out of the White House on Saturday morning along with his granddaughter Kai and got into a vehicle to head for Sterling, Virginia, for a few rounds of golf. This would have been an utterly insignificant bit of information were it not for the fact that Trump hadn’t been seen in public since his cabinet meeting on Tuesday. While he was out of sight, an increasing number of leftists began crowing gleefully that the president must be dead. Their disappointment on Saturday morning must have been overpowering, as the hatred they showed for the president and his supporters was truly shocking in its intensity. The party of compassion? Hardly. There are no more hateful people than leftists.

Overexcited leftists began claiming that Trump was mortally ill several days ago, when a photo emerged of Trump with a large bruise on his right hand, similar to one that was spotted on Queen Elizabeth’s hand just days before she died. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt explained Monday that the bruise was the result of Trump shaking hands with multiple people every day, combined with the effects of the aspirin he regularly takes.  

This wasn’t enough, however, for the far, far-left Huffington Post, which dismissed what Leavitt said as a “grandiose explanation” and opined, without evidence, that “the discoloration on the back of his left hand would seemingly be more difficult to explain away by handshake.” The hand-bruise controversy, however, was nothing compared to the left’s hysterical joy at not seeing Trump around for a few days. 

The New York Post reported Saturday that “online rumors of President Trump’s demise were greatly exaggerated — much to the dismay of creepy leftist critics.” The rumors started swirling “on Friday, when the White House released a blank schedule with no public events for the president during Labor Day weekend.” Old Joe Biden took almost four years off while he was pretending to be president and the media kept insisting that he was sharp as a tack as long as there weren’t any cameras around to capture the moment, but Trump takes a few days off, or at least out of sight, and the left goes nuts. (Yes, indeed, they were already nuts.)

The Trump-is-dead mania caught on despite the fact that Trump took to his Truth Social account several times while he was out of the public eye. On Friday, while leftists were posting Weekend-At-Bernie’s photoshops featuring Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk holding up a dead Trump, and other mean-spirited memes as well, the very-much-alive president was reacting to a leftist judge striking down his tariffs, writing: “ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT! Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end. If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong.”

Never-Trump fanatic Rick Wilson, meanwhile, was lost in the fantasy, writing: “Waking up to #TrumpIsDead and #whereistrump reminds me that JD ‘Popekiller’ Vance has been spending a lot of time around Don lately…” One particularly paranoid leftist saw all the rumors that Trump was dead and found a way to blame… Trump: “This is just another trump game. A typical authoritarian move. I hope I’m wrong. Hes probably just in the hospital on a cath.” Another wrote: “If Trump is indeed dead, McDonalds’ head office is about to receive the world’s largest gift basket ever!”

Accused Minnesota Assassin Vance Boelter Calls Tim Walz as ‘Traitor to the American People,’ Claims Governor Pushed Chinese Influence and Government Control in Wild Rant

Vance Luther Boelter, the man accused of the targeted assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, has unleashed a wild tirade about Governor Tim Walz.

In a bombshell exclusive interview with the New York Post from behind bars, Boelter,57, branded Walz a “traitor to the American people” and accused him of cozying up to Communist China.

Boelter, currently incarcerated in the Sherburne County Jail, spoke to the New York Post via the facility’s internal messaging system.

The accused killer claimed he first met the governor when Walz “personally reappointed” him to Minnesota’s Workforce Development Council in 2019. He accused Walz of repeatedly praising China, quoting him as saying, “China was the future, China knows how to get things done, China knows how to control their people.”

Boelter further alleged Walz pushed socialist ideals, stating, “Tim would say stuff like everyone should be either working for the government, or be supported by the government.” He even claimed Walz encouraged him to visit China, promising, “He said they will make sure you have a really good time,” with such talks happening over the phone.

Walz has a long history with China. The governor first visited in 1989 as a recent college graduate through the WorldTeach program in Foshan, and later helped launch a student exchange program in Beijing in 1992. In a 1991 school lesson, Walz reportedly described China’s communist system as one where “everyone is the same, and everyone shares.”

According to Boelter, he carried a list that included Walz’s name that day, but he insists it wasn’t a “hit list.” Instead, he claims it named individuals “getting massive financial amounts from the Chinese government,” based on unspecified financial documents he’d seen.

The accused killer described his original plan as executing “four or five Citizen arrests” to interrogate the targets about alleged deaths from the COVID-19 vaccine and supposed government cover-ups, with everyone to be released safely the next morning.

“My goal was not to go around shooting people,” the accused killer told The Post.
