Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, many people have lost their jobs left and right after celebrating his death. Some, however, have taken to threatening people with leftist beliefs on behalf of Charlie Kirk and even Donald Trump. One man from Florida caught the attention of people online after calling for a genocide or terror attack on a certain group of people, citing what happened to Kirk and what was attempted on Trump as his motivation:
The disturbing suggestion came from TikTok user official_kyleflogrown, aka KyleRhu. KyleRhu posted a clip on TikTok on September 11, with the caption “First Donald Trump and Now Charlie Kirk. It’s getting closer for the need to commit xxgen0cidexx against these wack jobs on the left.” The video was likely posted before Charlie Kirk’s assassin was caught; that would be Tyler Robinson, a White man who came from a gun-owning right-wing family.
KyleRhu mentioning Trump in the clip also likely refers to the attempted and failed assassination back in mid-2024. So far, KyleRhu’s post hasn’t been taken down despite the violent suggestion; however, even on that very same video, the TikTok user’s thoughts were challenged by people with the same leanings as him.
One commenter even asked, “How does that make us any better then them?” back when they were just assuming who the assassin was. “So the shooter killed and innocent man because he didn’t like what he said, or did. So you want to [expletive] other innocent people because of one man’s doing? Make that make sense? I’m pretty sure this is a terroristic threat tbh” claims another comment, alluding to how the TikTok user’s threatening ideas.
People online have condemned the Charlie Kirk fan
Despite being a week old, the TikTok user’s post has still caught the attention of many people online and on Reddit. It was reposted with many users asking whether it’s possible to report the TikTok user’s actions, especially since he was suggesting genocide, which many consider a terrorist threat. However, others were merely worried about the lack of action from TikTok.
“Even Tik Tok won’t do anything about it anymore. They use to be sticklers for rules. Now it’s pretty much anything goes on that crappy app since Trump continues to save them from being shut down” according to one Reddit comment. Another commenter asked whom are they going to report the TikTok user to, “To who? He is parroting the state line.”
Other people pointed out just how ironic the TikTok user’s video was since it was using Kurt Cobain and Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit song. Cobain was a well-known far-left liberal who spoke out against fascism, racism, sexism, and homophobia. “If he knew what Kurt Cobain stood for, he’d probably stop listening to his music. These people are ready to cancel anyone, and Kurt would have been cancelled.”
Ultimately, others were worried and left puzzled at just how violent some MAGA conservatives can be, while also blaming and condemning liberals for celebrating violence. “I just don’t get these people. All the crazy is coming from your own party,” alleged one commenter.
