Megyn Kelly said in her podcast Tuesday that she didn’t realize how depraved the left has become – before she learned of the murderous sentiments of protesters at Saturday’s anti-Trump “No Kings” rally.
In one egregious example, Kelly showed a viral clip of a Chicago elementary school teacher mocking the assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk by gesturing how Kirk had been killed by a shot to the neck, The New York Post reports:
“A Chicago-based elementary school teacher mocked Charlie Kirk’s assassination by using a sickening gun gesture at a No Kings protest over the weekend.
“Lucy Martinez, a teacher at Nathan Hale Elementary School, put a finger to her neck and pretended to pull a trigger when a man driving by in a pickup truck waved a flag calling the late podcaster a ‘hero,’ video shows.”
“He got shot because he wasn’t a good person,” one No King’s protester said, justifying Kirk’s murder, in another clip. “He was a horrible person,” she tells the reporter interviewing her – adding “You’re a horrible person yourself.”
“This woman wasn’t alone in her sentiments,” Kelly said, showing a photo of a young man at another No Kings protest:
“Here’s a photo of a young man at a protest in Georgia. He’s wearing the same ‘Freedom’ t-shirt that Charlie was wearing when he was shot. But, this man put fake blood all over it. If you look closely, he made a fake bullet hole in his neck, too.”
The protester also wore a medal titled “Bozo medal of fascism,” mocking Kirk’s posthumous reception of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Kelly also showed images of protesters’ hateful signs wishing death upon President Donald Trump. One read “I wish he hadn’t turned his head,” referencing how Trump had once narrowly missed being assassinated by a gunman’s bullet.
Another protester is shown wearing a “86 47” shirt. When asked, the man explains that the message means “Kill the son of a bi*ch,” “the 47th president” (Trump). “F**K you guys, too,” the man tells those who say they want to spread the message of love.
“All those No Kings people out there, they’d be thrilled if any one of us on the right had what happened to Charlie happen to us,” Kelly confessed, warning that she now sees that, while liberals may claim to support peace, many are now perfectly content to see those with differing opinions murdered:
“It’s a very disturbing fact that I’ve just been coming to terms with over the past month. I didn’t know that. I genuinely didn’t know that, did not think the depravity was quite that deep.”
Editor's Note: The Media Research Center announced Wednesday that it is awarding its annual Free Speech Award exclusively to Charlie Kirk, the late founder of Turning Point USA and a fearless defender of the First Amendment.
