Competing Claims Over Which Side Commits More Political Violence
Showing 5 Left-Wing Terrorism videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Testifying before Congress after Charlie Kirk's assassination, Michael Knowles argues that left-wing political violence has become a consistent, escalating pattern in America, citing a Center for Strategic and International Studies study reported by The Atlantic that found the left more violent than the right in the current period, and pointing to the Nashville Covenant School shooting as one example of ideologically motivated violence from that direction. Knowles directly disputes a claim from Congressman Seth Moulton, who said three-quarters of political violence in America comes from the right and only 4 percent from the left, calling that figure implausible. Matt Walsh separately covers the emotional aftermath of Kirk's memorial service, describing renewed attacks on Erika Kirk following her speech there and contrasting the event's tone with what he characterizes as confused reactions from prominent figures on the left. The competing statistical claims from Knowles and Moulton reflect a broader, unresolved partisan dispute over how political violence should be measured and attributed.
