    Nate Burleson Seizes Opportunity To Politicize Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

    CATEGORY

    THE OFFENSE

    CBS Morning host Nate Burleson asked former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy if the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk was a moment for Republicans to reflect on their rhetoric.

    THE TRUTH

    Evidence discovered by the FBI shows that the assassin, Tyler Robinson, used Antifa and pro-trans messaging and symbology on his weapon and ammunition, and had previously demonstrated animosity toward Kirk for his conservative ideology. Clearly Kirk’s assassination was a time for the left to reflect on their rhetoric.

    KEY POINTS

    • CBS Mornings’ Nate Burleson tried to point the finger at Republicans for Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
