Actress Amber Tamblyn Mocks the Fact that Charlie Kirk’s Daughter Witnessed His Gory Assassination

Actress Amber Tamblyn suggested that the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was a “public execution” and mocked the fact that Kirk’s daughter witnessed his horrific and gruesome murder.

“Wish granted,” Tamblyn wrote in a Thursday BlueSky post, sharing a February 24, 2024 Newsweek article, headlined, “Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Suggests Children Should Watch Public Executions.”

The actress was therefore suggesting that Kirk was “executed” for the fictitious crime of exercising his First Amendment right — seemingly in agreeance with a murderous assassin.

For context, the Newsweek article cited an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, in which Kirk and co-hosts were hypothetically discussing murderers who have been sentenced to the death penalty receiving a public execution, surmising that crime may go down as a result.

At one point during the panel discussion, co-hosts shared their opinions about what they believed the age limitations should be for people attending a theoretical public execution — should they exist.

“WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF CERTAINTY – WE HAVE HIM!” – His Father and Minister Turned Him In! – Trump Announces Suspect in Kirk Assassination in Custody!

President Trump told FOX and Friends this morning that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination is in custody.

President Trump made the announcement on FOX and Friends this morning.

President Trump: “Yeah… I think just to protect us all, so FOX doesn’t get sued, and we all don’t get sued and everything else. But I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody. Everyone did a great job. We worked with the local police, the governor. Everybody did a great job. Getting somebody that you start off with absolutely nothing. We started off with a clip that made him look like an aunt that was almost useless. We just saw there was somebody up there. And so much work has been done over the last two and a half days. It’s amazing, actually, when you start off with that and then all of a sudden you get lucky or talent or whatever it is. But, yeah, I think we’re in great shape. That’s the person. He’s in custody.”

Gun recovered in Charlie Kirk assassination revealed — and ammo bore pro-trans, anti-fascist messages: sources

A rifle recovered in the hunt for conservative influencer Charlie Kirk’s assassin contained ammo engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology,” according to preliminary reports from law enforcement sources.

The weapon — an imported .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle — was discovered wrapped in a towel by investigators in a wooded area following the killing of the conservative leading light, who was shot once while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, according to the memo.

A source familiar noted that the Justice Department is investigating the descriptions alleged in the ATF memo, but that the agency was unable to confirm that the description matched the evidence recovered at the scene.

Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck by a single shot fired from a distance of around 200 yards while answering an audience member’s question about mass shootings committed by transgender people.

The Killing of Charlie Kirk: 5 Idiotic Responses on Social Media

A manhunt is still underway for the assassin who gunned down Charlie Kirk, the conservative media giant and founder of the influential student activist group Turning Point USA. Unfortunately, the fact that authorities have yet to confirm the killer’s identity, means, and motivations has not prevented countless pundits from issuing sweeping condemnations of various forces to which they are assigning blame for Kirk’s demise: rival political tribes, so-called violent rhetoric, guns, and even (why not) the state of Israel.

It bears repeating that this shocking murder occurred about 24 hours ago. Kirk’s family and friends are probably still in shock, and the millions of people who agreed with Kirk’s views, admired his accomplishments, listened to his shows, attended his conferences, or otherwise regarded him as a fellow traveler—in truth, he was one of the most important conservative media figures in history—are just beginning to grieve. It is far, far too early to start pointing fingers, particularly when the individual (or individuals) directly at fault has not yet been apprehended.

Thankfully, there has also been an outpouring of renunciations of violence from many people who were at odds with Kirk politically: mainstream media commentators, Democratic political figures, etc. These expressions of moral and human solidarity are refreshing. The New York Times‘ Ezra Klein, for instance, praised him for “practicing politics the right way.” Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and other prominent Democrats issued statements of unqualified support for Kirk’s family. That’s all good and can help to de-escalate tensions.

But many others are going off the deep end—and some are even making a mockery of the very ideas that Kirk stood for. They ought to know better.

I wanted to highlight a few of the unhinged responses, because it will be useful to explain why they are wrong, harmful, and sadly indicative of various strains of incorrect thinking.

 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.
