Matt Walsh Calls Charlie Kirk Assassination an Act of LGBT Terrorism Demanding Federal Crackdown
Matt Walsh examines the evidence surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University, arguing that the shooting represents a coordinated act of left-wing LGBT terrorism. Walsh details the shooter Tyler Robinson's relationship with a transgender-identifying individual, Antifa messaging engraved on ammunition, and social media posts that allegedly predicted the attack. He criticizes leftist narratives attempting to portray the shooter as a right-wing extremist, calls for federal investigations into organizations like Reddit as breeding grounds for domestic terrorism, and demands the dismantling of what he describes as left-wing terror cells. Walsh advocates for RICO charges against billionaires like George Soros, deportation of Ilhan Omar, and a complete federal ban on gender-affirming care at any age.
Matt Walsh presents what he calls overwhelming evidence that Charlie Kirk's assassination was an act of LGBT terrorism. According to Walsh, Charlie was murdered by a leftist in a relationship with a man who identifies as transgender. The shooter engraved his ammunition with messages commonly used by left-wing Antifa groups, calling Charlie a fascist, as well as references to fetish subcultures.
Walsh cites multiple sources indicating that the investigation has revealed the shooter's deep connections to left-wing extremism. Days before the murder, several trans-identifying individuals and people in their social groups posted messages on social media suggesting they had advance knowledge of the attack. One message read: "Charlie Kirk is coming to my college tomorrow. I really hope someone evaporates him literally. Let's just say something big will happen tomorrow." The account that posted this has since been suspended from X.
Another post from five days before the shooting indicated that "something big was coming soon." After the shooting, the same author wrote: "Well, that's that. And another Chud bites the dust." Walsh highlights a particularly disturbing post from September 3rd that read: "It'd be funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th."
Coordinated Network and Advanced Knowledge
According to Walsh, the username of one author was "Tally Hall album." The man who shot Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, had a publicly visible playlist of songs by the band Tally Hall on Spotify. Additionally, the shooter's transgender-identifying boyfriend was active on the Tally Hall subreddit, suggesting a connected network of individuals.
Walsh argues these publicly available posts indicate the actual number of people with advanced knowledge of the attack was probably quite high. Shortly after the assassination, another post written by someone in the same friend network as the trans-identifying man dating the shooter read simply: "We effing did it."
A pro-trans organization in Utah called Armed Queers SLC took down its Instagram page entirely following the assassination. According to the New York Post, Armed Queers SLC has a logo featuring two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk. The group also hosted a lecture on queer resistance at the University of Utah in September 2023, around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder lost his life.
Protecting the Shooter After the Attack
Walsh reports that even people with direct knowledge of the shooter continued to protect him after the assassination. The New York Times reported that members of the shooter's Discord channel were joking with him about the possibility that he was the shooter based on photographs released by the FBI. Yet none of the members of this Discord group turned him in.
This evidence comes on top of statements from numerous officials, including the governor, that Robinson was heavily indoctrinated into left-wing extremism. Walsh emphasizes that sources from the family and people who knew the shooter have confirmed this characterization.
Mass Celebration and the Left's Response
Walsh argues that perhaps the clearest sign that Charlie was murdered as part of a coordinated leftist campaign to terrorize conservatives is that over the past several days, his killers' comrades have tried to disown him. This is happening even as hundreds of thousands of leftists openly gloat over Charlie's murder—everyone from neurologists to school teachers to military service members to entertainers to the chief of police of Durham to the entire population of Reddit and Blue Sky.
Despite this widespread celebration, Walsh notes these same leftists are pretending in defiance of all evidence and basic common sense that the shooter was actually a MAGA white supremacist. They're pushing the fantasy that Charlie Kirk was murdered because he wasn't right-wing enough. Walsh insists they know it's not true and that no rational person could possibly believe it, but they're saying it anyway.
The Left's Disinformation Campaign
Walsh describes the official talking point of the left as claiming Charlie was killed by the right. He characterizes this as a maneuver that has always been an old standby for communist regimes. According to Walsh, leftists don't care about their foot soldiers, even those who throw their lives away for the cause. They certainly don't care about the truth. All that matters to leftists is their collective mission.
The shooter fulfilled part of the left's mission by killing Charlie—by murdering someone who dared to engage them in free and open debates they could not win. Now the shooter is fulfilling another mission as a useful tool to defame and malign the right.
Walsh provides numerous examples of this narrative being pushed across social media platforms. On Reddit, which he calls "one of the many cesspools that should immediately be investigated by federal authorities as a breeding ground for domestic terrorism," posts claim: "The Bellachow thing found on the ammo casings is a Nick Fuentes thing. He seems like an online Nick Fuentes Groper." When someone asks what a Groper is, the response is: "Alt-right white nationalist, Christian nationalist followers of Nick Fuentes."
Walsh emphasizes it's impossible to overstate how aggressively this message is being pushed on Reddit and Blue Sky. It's all over Facebook and throughout the internet. The media is toying with this message as well. He says it's not an exaggeration to claim that the majority of leftists probably believe it.
The Truth About Bella Ciao
Walsh refutes the narrative that the shooter was connected to right-wing ideology. They're claiming that a gay man who was dating a trans-identifying man, who openly told his family and friends that he hated Charlie Kirk, who was steeped in left-wing ideology according to the governor of Utah, who wrote Antifa messages on the bullet casings, who accused Charlie of being a fascist, was actually a big fan of Nick Fuentes and a far-right extremist.
Walsh clarifies that Antifa terrorists have been citing the Bella Ciao song for a long time, as Andy Ngo has pointed out. This includes in 2019 when an Antifa shooter cited the song in a manifesto before attacking an ICE facility. There is a record and precedent not just for this Bella Ciao reference to be used by the far left, but for it to be used by the far left when carrying out domestic terrorist attacks. Additionally, one of the ringleaders of Antifa in Los Angeles owns a company called Bella Ciao Cinema. This is an old World War II song that's been repurposed by Antifa today.
Mainstream Media Complicity
Walsh accuses prominent outlets like CNN of doing their best to further the false narrative. He describes a screenshot of CNN's homepage showing nine stories about Charlie's assassination. None of them discuss the shooter's motive or his belief in left-wing ideology and his connection to transgenderism. None discuss the gloating of leftists or the messages that predicted the attack. Instead, the stories focus on the job Kash Patel is doing, how leftists are getting fired for celebrating Kirk's death, or how the shooter's father turned him in.
Walsh highlights major figures in the American left openly lying on social media. Harvard professor Lawrence Tribe posted: "Kirk's apparent assassin seems to have been ultra MAGA, exploding the GOP MAGA attempt to pin the blame for this tragedy on liberals." Walsh notes this is the same line used after the first Trump assassination attempt, when Democrats said the shooting was either staged or that the shooter was somehow a Trump supporter.
The chair of Minnesota's DFL, essentially the state Democrat party, posted: "The shooter didn't think Kirk was right-wing enough. The reference to Groer is linked to a rival right-wing ideologue." Walsh characterizes this as a declarative statement from a top Democrat in Minnesota that has no basis in reality, with references to Gropers without any citation whatsoever.
Government Officials Spreading Lies
Walsh reports that the LA Times apparently cited an expert who decided Charlie Kirk was shot in a white supremacist gang attack. Then there's a post from Jackie Sartorius, the district attorney in Portland, Maine, who was installed with the help of George Soros. She posted: "There are now increasing questions about the actual shooter's possible affinity with the extreme far right. This may have involved a beef between alt-right Nick Fuentes and the victim." Walsh emphasizes this is a government official, a prosecutor who's supposed to care about things like evidence and facts.
On X, posts with tens of millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes spread the same message that the shooter was a right-winger. Walsh provides examples, including one with 30 million views and 400,000 likes claiming: "So, the killer of Charlie Kirk is Tyler Robinson, white boy, right-wing Republican, wealthy family born and raised in Utah. This is a bad week for MAGA."
Another post with 10 million views and 100,000 likes states: "According to Utah officials and police interviews with his family, Tyler Robinson hated Charlie Kirk because Kirk wasn't conservative enough. Robinson reportedly admired Nick Fuentes."
Teachers Union President Spreads Misinformation
Walsh identifies one of the worst examples as Randi Weingarten, the president of the largest teachers union in the country. She reposted content from someone named Jeannie Ryder that said: "The leftist students in Utah who didn't want Charlie Kirk to speak did what leftists do. They signed petitions, staged a protest, and lined up to challenge him. The right-winger who didn't want Charlie Kirk to speak did what right-wingers do and shot him. We are not the same."
Weingarten reposted this with the caption: "This seems important to state." Walsh emphasizes that the leader of the largest teachers union in the country considers it not only important to state total nonsense and lies that completely flip reality on its head, but also to brand all right-wingers as violent killers.
Walsh notes that on Reddit or Blue Sky you'll find hundreds of thousands of people liking and upvoting various posts like this. If you know any leftists, there's a good chance you're seeing the same content all over your social media feeds. None of it is remotely true. There's no source for any of it because it's false.
The Undeniable Truth
Walsh states emphatically that any suggestion Charlie was killed by a right-winger is a flat-out bald-faced lie. There is no evidence of that whatsoever. All of the evidence points to left-wing LGBT extremists. It's not close. It's not ambiguous: gay shooter, trans boyfriend, Antifa messages on the bullets, trans people predicting the shooting ahead of time. This was not a Groper. This is not a Nick Fuentes acolyte.
Walsh adds that even if the killer were a right-wing extremist, which he definitively was not, the left would still own Charlie's murder because they've taken ownership of it. They've spent the last four days since his assassination celebrating, and thousands upon thousands of them have personally endorsed the man who slaughtered Charlie. Even if the shooter were a right-wing Republican, which he is not, he would still now be one of theirs by adoption. They own this because they have said so themselves.
Why Charlie Kirk Was Targeted
Walsh reflects on what Charlie Kirk provided to American discourse and why he was targeted. Charlie Kirk's public debates have been recorded for many years, and those debates prove the exact opposite of the points leftists try to make against him. That's why hundreds of thousands of students, including Democrats, showed up to his events. They knew they wouldn't get shouted down. They wouldn't get violently attacked unless it was by one of their own. They wouldn't suffer any consequences whatsoever. They'd be able to engage with a leading conservative voice at length in a respectful forum.
Walsh emphasizes this is something nobody on the left ever does. None of them ever do this. Who on the left is going into a crowd where there's going to be conservatives and saying: "You know what? I'll talk to any of you right now. I'll debate you on camera live. Line up. If you disagree with me, come to the front of the line." Walsh insists not a single person on the left in the country is doing it. That's something only conservatives do, and Charlie was the best at it.
The footage was uploaded in its entirety online. It's one of the main reasons so many young men voted Republican in the last election. Charlie allowed leftists to speak, and in doing so, they revealed they were unhinged, incoherent, dangerous radicals. That's why they killed him, according to Walsh.
Ilhan Omar's Response
Walsh highlights Ilhan Omar, whom he calls "the darling of the Democrat party," and her response to Kirk's assassination. She reposted a video declaring: "Kirk was a reprehensible human being, a stochastic terrorist. With his last dying words, he was spewing racist dog whistles. Charlie Kirk was Dr. Frankenstein, and his monster shot him through the neck."
She then gave an interview in which she suggested Kirk had it coming because he wasn't a fan of Juneteenth and didn't believe George Floyd was murdered. In the interview, Omar stated: "What I do know for sure is that Charlie was someone who once said guns save lives after a school shooting. Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police. I think you called him a scumbag, right? Have no regard. Downplay slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist. And I think there are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate. Complete rewriting of history. There is nothing more effed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so."
Walsh argues this is a complete rewriting of history and that even if Charlie were the bully they're painting him to be, which he wasn't at all, that still obviously wouldn't be any justification to murder him. If Ilhan Omar were a decent American or an American at all, she'd understand that, Walsh contends.
The Left's Monopoly on Political Violence
Walsh insists this is not a both-sides issue. Political violence is almost exclusive to the left. The left is responsible for torching federal courthouses, churches, and small businesses. They're responsible for BLM riots and Antifa. They're responsible for the massacre of Christian children in schools and churches, multiple attempts on the president's life, and violent attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers. They're responsible for vandalizing Teslas and torching Tesla storefronts. They're the ones attacking ICE agents and police.
The left has a near monopoly on politically motivated violence in this country, Walsh argues. It was a Tim Walz appointee apparently suffering from schizophrenia who murdered a lawmaker in Minnesota. It was Trump supporters and Trump supporters alone who died on January 6th, which is the one example leftists can give of right-wing political violence. That's the only example they can give, which they've greatly exaggerated for the last five years, and the only people who died were Trump supporters.
Political violence has been going in only one direction for a very long time, and that is by design, according to Walsh. The left's domestic terror operation is well established at this point.
The Criminal Enterprise Behind Left-Wing Terror
Walsh describes how the system works: Billionaires like George Soros fund various NGOs, political candidates, and media personalities who talk like Ilhan Omar. They declare that conservatives are Nazis, that all conservatives are fascists who demonize oppressed people. When you go around calling people Nazis, Walsh argues, that is a direct call for violence against that person. At the very least, it is a justification beforehand for violence.
They tell highly disturbed individuals, particularly people who identify as trans, that they're being genocided by these fascists. They'll open the prisons and allow the most deranged members of society to continue tormenting normal people. Walsh notes we don't even add to the discussion the everyday street violence that happens because violent criminals are released onto the street by politically motivated left-wing district attorneys and judges.
The politicians and billionaires sit back and watch as their deranged foot soldiers carry out acts of domestic terrorism. After these terrorist attacks are carried out, the politicians gloat and blame the other side, showing clear consciousness of guilt. Among other things, this is a criminal enterprise—maybe the single most dangerous criminal enterprise to ever exist in this country because it poses a direct threat to the most important civil liberty: the right to free expression. It needs to be dismantled.
What Dismantling Means
Walsh outlines specific actions that should be taken. Billionaires like George Soros can be indicted on RICO charges, as Donald Trump himself suggested. Criminal aliens like Ilhan Omar could be denaturalized and deported immediately for lying on their applications for citizenship when they pledged loyalty to America and, in her case, allegedly weren't married to their brother.
The entire industry of transgenderism can be demolished overnight with a national federal ban on any kind of so-called gender-affirming care for anyone of any age. The so-called doctors who would mutilate and sterilize patients in service of this ideology can be sent to federal prison.
All of these steps are necessary and can happen after Charlie's assassination and the facts that have been gathered in the aftermath, Walsh argues. There's no doubt about it: terrorism against conservatives is only going to intensify from here.
Previous Threats and Inaction
Walsh recalls that a year ago at the University of Minnesota Duluth, the president of the Young Democratic Socialists of America threatened to shoot up the local Turning Point USA chapter, forcing a Turning Point representative to flee the campus. The socialist said: "I'd line all you mother effers up against the wall and shoot you." Nothing was done. The DSA chapter wasn't dismantled.
That's normally how these things go, Walsh observes. The left terrorizes, the right doesn't respond, and in turn, the terrorism intensifies. This must end. It is now abundantly clear that America isn't divided into two political parties. We're divided into one political party and one cartel that aids and abets domestic terrorism.
Trans Ideology as a Death Cult
Walsh argues that leftists are deliberately provoking some of the most deranged and hopeless members of society—people who are already in a state of deep-seated psychosis. Now that those individuals are realizing they're losing, that they really can't transform into members of the opposite sex, that they're on the losing side of everything, they're doing exactly what the left wants them to do.
The LGBT terror cells have been activated, and they're effective terror cells because trans ideology is a death cult—the largest, most well-funded, most deranged death cult this country has ever seen, according to Walsh. We shouldn't be surprised by this. Two weeks ago, Walsh said on X and on his show that trans extremists are losing badly, they're desperate, and that makes them more dangerous than they've ever been. He said it would get worse. Two weeks later, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by an LGBT militant with a trans boyfriend.
The Path Forward
Walsh says again now: this will get worse. We need to take this threat seriously. That doesn't mean delivering speeches about unity or singing kumbaya and telling everyone to come together. It means utterly destroying every left-wing terror cell like the one that killed Charlie. It also means destroying the criminal institutions that are enabling their insanity rather than treating it. Then we have to move up the chain of leftist terror to the nonprofits and the billionaires.
The more they gloat over Charlie's dead body and the more they threaten to murder more conservatives, the harder we have to push. We cannot stop until conservatives are free to exercise their First Amendment rights in this country without fear. Until that happens, we don't have a free society. We don't have any rights at all to any meaningful degree. In that environment, we don't owe our enemies any kind of restraint or mercy. They must be crushed if civil liberties are going to mean anything in America.
Walsh concludes that all the indications he has are that the Trump administration understands this and that they're acting legally and nonviolently, which is how we must act. Now they need to do something the federal government never did under the previous administration: defend the civil liberties of American citizens and disarm and dismantle every domestic terrorist organization and militant LGBT group posing as a legitimate political institution. That's a very long list to get through, but with ruthlessness and without apology, now is the time to start.
