A sentiment I've seen beginning to propagate, and it's one I agree with, is that it doesn't matter if the shooter was right-wing because we all saw the left rip off their masks and gleefully celebrate the killing of Charlie Kirk. That's all the condemnation of the left that is needed. It genuinely does not matter if the assassin was a die-hard Republican, because all the lefties proudly showed society what utter ghouls they are.
They can deny the shooter's politics, but they cannot erase their own behavior that they openly broadcast for all to see.
If the shooter was right wing, all it tells us is that leftists wanted to do the same thing to Charlie Kirk sooner or later(based on their reaction to it).
They wouldn't have cheered nearly as hard if they didn't initially think the assassin was one of their own—a hero of the Revolution™ fighting le fascist huwite man.
The Right has actual division within it, it would be unsurprising for someone to kill another over a "single voter issue." Half of this website are only a few angry days away from being willing shoot someone over Jews/Israel and spent the last few days hiding behind "oh well, he was a puppet so no tears for him!" to mask it.
But the existence of that means most of us have actual principles and are willing to kill/die for them. For as awful as that sounds, its still a step up over the Left who could barely name a Kirk argument (that isn't a screenshot of a quote) and are just happy a Right wing figure died horribly.
