Radical Leftists Post ‘Kill Lists’ in Demented Frenzy, Targets Respond [WATCH]

New reports indicate that in the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, targeted hit lists against conservatives have appeared [1] across social media platforms.

The Center Square reported Friday that “in the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, thousands of social media posts appear to list politically conservative targets for assassination by the political left.”

The names most frequently mentioned include President Donald Trump, podcast host Joe Rogan, author J.K. Rowling, commentator Ben Shapiro, commentator Matt Walsh, Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik, entrepreneur Elon Musk, and journalist Andy Ngo.

Rowling, who has been outspoken on free speech issues and opposition to transgender ideology, responded to the development with a warning about political violence.

“If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you’re illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you’re a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you’re a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you’re a terrorist.”

Other targets named in the online lists also issued public responses.

Shapiro said that he would not be intimidated by threats.

“We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. And we will never let Charlie’s voice die.”

Walsh also addressed the threats, stating that he had received numerous messages about the online posts but would continue his work.

“A lot of concerned people are sending me these screenshots (and dozens more). I appreciate their concern. But I’m not surprised and I won’t be going into hiding. We have to be louder and bolder now than ever. Or else the demons who killed Charlie win. And they cannot win.”

The threats come at a time of heightened political tension following Kirk’s death at Utah Valley University in Orem earlier this month.

Kirk was fatally shot while addressing students on campus, leading to widespread condemnation and an outpouring of grief from across the conservative movement.

His assassination has also sparked increased concern about political violence targeting high-profile figures on the right.

Law enforcement has not confirmed whether the new online threats are being investigated, though public calls for violence have previously been monitored by federal agencies.

Analysts note that the appearance of such lists in the immediate aftermath of a politically motivated assassination raises additional questions about the role of online platforms in monitoring and addressing threats.

Kirk’s supporters, colleagues, and fellow commentators have said the rise of online rhetoric celebrating or encouraging violence showcases the danger that political polarization now poses to public safety.

They have stressed that such threats will not deter them from continuing their work.

The emergence of the hit lists reflects a continuing escalation of rhetoric that began with posts celebrating Kirk’s assassination.

Those initial posts, now followed by lists naming other conservative figures, have fueled concerns that further acts of political violence could follow.

While online platforms have not publicly addressed the reports, conservative leaders and commentators have urged authorities to investigate the threats and ensure that those named are protected.

As investigations continue into Kirk’s assassination, the release of these hit lists has introduced a new dimension to the ongoing national debate about political violence, free speech, and accountability on social media.
