Republican strategist Scott Jennings said that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was a “mainstream conservative” and suggested that those who celebrated his assassination would be okay with anyone who voted for President Donald Trump being murdered, during a Monday appearance on CNN.
Numerous people, including MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd and Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah, have been fired over their reactions to the Wednesday assassination of Kirk, 31, in Utah. Jennings said critics of conservatives demanding the firings of those celebrating the killing of the TPUSA founder were “tiptoeing” around the content of the posts in question.
“In the case of these people who are being fired from their jobs, I mean, you know, we’re kind of — we’re kind of tiptoeing around it here,” Jennings told CNN host Kaitlan Collins. “These people were not online saying, ‘Well, I disagree with Charlie Kirk.’ They were online saying the world is better off without him. They were online saying, you know, his wife, in this case, ‘She’s a sick f-word for marrying him. I don’t care about her feelings. We’re better off living in a world without a disgusting psychopath.’ That’s who we’re talking about here.”
