America woke up to a nightmare on September 10 when conservative voice Charlie Kirk was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University — a brutal act of political violence that stole a husband, a father, and a powerful fighter for our values. There is no sugarcoating it: a public assassination like this tears at the fabric of civil society and demands swift justice. The nation grieves and rightfully demands answers even as investigators work the case.
In the chaotic aftermath, a swirl of theories erupted across the internet, with some influencers — including Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson — publicly questioning the official narrative and airing suspicions about donors and foreign actors. Owens released private group-chat screenshots and suggested donor pressure and other bad faith motives may have played a role, while others amplified speculation about outside involvement instead of waiting for facts. Questioning is part of a free society, but rushing to finger powerful people or nations without evidence only hands the narrative to our enemies.
That is why competent law enforcement matters: investigators located and charged a suspect, and the official case rests on concrete evidence collected by authorities rather than viral guesswork. The hard work of the FBI and local police — not the rumor mill — will determine culpability and motive, and conservatives should insist the legal process be allowed to run its course. Our anger must be directed at the killer and anyone who abets violence, not at one another in midnight Twitter trials.
Still, watching parts of our own political ecosystem devolve into conspiracy theatre has been painful. There is a difference between robust skepticism of institutions and the craven exploitation of a murdered man’s name for clicks, branding, or influence. Conservatives should hold the line: defend free speech and scrutiny, but reject the childish, reckless habit of throwing around blame when grieving families deserve dignity and investigations demand patience.
Some on the right and in fringe corners of the media even accused prominent conservatives of somehow “getting Kirk killed,” a charge that is not only grotesque but dangerous when hurled without credible proof. Public figures will be criticized — and sometimes rightly so — but alleging that fellow conservatives committed or enabled murder crosses a moral line and weakens our political cause. The country needs unity around truth-seeking, not internecine witch hunts that the mainstream media will scream about while ignoring their own failures.
Politicians and institutions are already responding: Congress has moved to formally condemn political violence, and national leaders have used the moment to call for accountability while honoring Kirk’s impact on conservative youth. Americans must demand the same clarity from federal investigators that we demand from pundits: produce evidence or stop poisoning the well. The fight against political violence must be bipartisan and unflinching, and the conservative movement should lead by insisting on facts over frenzy.
If this tragedy teaches us anything, let it be that grief is no excuse for rumor, and patriotism is no cover for slander. Hardworking Americans want justice, not gossip; they want leaders who mourn honestly and pursue perpetrators relentlessly. Let’s stand together, demand the facts, and defend the rule of law and the free speech that makes accountability possible — without sacrificing our honor by lobbing baseless accusations at one another.
