The “No Kings” protesters are not satisfied with the concept of persuading people to adopt their political views; instead, they want to kill their opposition and then celebrate the death the way they lauded Charlie Kirk’s murder. It sounds like a harsh accusation until you read the signs protesters made and carried during Saturday’s “No Kings” events.
Many were straight calls for murder, and others were so vile that they call into question the sanity of anyone comfortable carrying such words — like the woman with the sloppy cardboard sign scrawled with a marker: “Which one heals faster? (A) Trump’s ear (B) Erika’s heart,” referring to Charlie Kirk’s widow.
There was also this menacing woman, acting out the moment a bullet hit Charlie Kirk’s neck. By Monday morning it was widely reported that she is a public school teacher at Chicago’s Nathan Hale Elementary School, which abruptly shut down its website and X account.
These are the people who want to teach their values to your children. Those who celebrate the death of a martyr and mock his widow are still pretending they belong to the party of compassion. Unfortunately, there are too many parents embracing this violence. Watch this man give a child a high five after the kid beats the likeness of President Donald Trump.
This child is being trained that, instead of engaging in intelligent discussion, hitting things he does not like is normal political discourse. We are watching our culture being destroyed in real time.
One protester carrying an invitation to murder — “Would you like to kill Nazis w[ith] me” — was asked who the Nazis are. The leftist said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is a Nazi and he would kill him if he had the chance.
In Chicago, a man told people to “grab a gun” and shoot ICE agents. He came prepared with a microphone and speaker so the crowd could hear his murderous rant.
Another man held a sign calling for “better snipers” with a photo of Trump in the crosshairs of a scope. We now live in a society where the left not only accepts but celebrates throngs of haters carrying signs calling for murder.
This woman said she is living in a “nightmare” under Trump. She wished him dead and said her fondest birthday wish was to see Trump’s obituary in the newspaper in the morning. She claimed to be “fighting for our country” for her little boys. She did not offer any specific areas she would like to see improved or offer any solutions for her alarm. Hating Trump seemed to be her only message.
The woman below in the stylish felt hat said Republicans are mean and sweetly said Democrats must “stop being so nice.” But her anger was on a hair trigger and she blasted off at the mention of Charlie Kirk’s name.
“Charlie Kirk is a piece of garbage! Of course we were mean!” she said, adding, “Evil people have no place in, in my world! He was a hateful human being.”
It’s pretty self-absorbed to think of it as “my world” when referring to a man she likely never met. But this is the mindset of the pro-abortion, Trump-hating crowd. They believe anyone in their way should be eliminated.
The cold lack of compassion or remorse for Charlie Kirk, who was gunned down by a leftist, shows how little the left values life.
The “No Kings” message was unified and clear, plastered on signs — a threat on the lives of their political foe, and a promise to dance on the graves of those who die while conservative. There are numerous calls on social media for the FBI to investigate calls for murdering the president. The FBI did not answer The Federalist’s question about whether the agency is investigating the “No Kings” calls for violence.
In response to a Federalist inquiry on whether the Department of Justice is considering prosecutions, a DOJ spokeswoman said, “Our law enforcement partners and U.S. Attorney offices will arrest and bring the harshest charges against violent criminals and rioters who break the law.”
“No Kings” is a stupid slogan in a country where everyone has a right to hold offensive signs insulting the president. But calling for killing is the stuff of extremists.
With threats more sincere than George Conway’s hair color, these leftist extremists may look weird, but they should be taken seriously. They are not hiding who they are or what they want to do.
