The far-left New Republic delivered a chilling message to Democrats. Stop showing empathy after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

The radical publication attacked Democratic leaders immediately. They called their condemnations of political violence “too tasteful for the moment.”

Kamala Harris had said political violence has no place in America. Hakeem Jeffries declared it incompatible with American values. Gabby Giffords warned against confronting disagreements with violence.

The New Republic dismissed every statement. They labeled them as weakness and capitulation.

“Empathy helps prop up Republicans and Trumpists as legitimate and normal political actors,” the magazine declared.

The publication demanded Democrats adopt a “callous, perhaps, but short of cruel” tone instead.

They even suggested specific talking points. Democrats should say things like “I’m sorry his family is suffering. I wish his message would die with him.”

The magazine praised Republican “shamelessness” as a model to follow. They pointed to an isolated incident from three months ago involving Utah Senator Mike Lee.

Lee had posted mocking memes about Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman’s assassination. He later removed the posts.

From that single example, the New Republic built their entire argument. They claimed Republicans use government power to “compound people’s grief.”

The publication demanded Democrats follow the same playbook.

“Democrats must adopt some version of that metric for themselves,” the article insisted.

The magazine acknowledged Democrats are “trained in dignity and empathy.” They admitted this drives Democratic politics and care for various groups.

But they immediately dismissed these values as useless.

“It has gotten us nowhere,” the author complained about empathy-based politics.

The publication resurrected Kirk’s old comments about the Second Amendment. Years ago, Kirk had said gun deaths were worth preserving constitutional rights.

The New Republic used his assassination to mock those very words.

“I can’t imagine that Kirk’s family finds it ‘a prudent deal,'” they sneered at his grieving relatives.

The rhetoric grew even sharper from there.

“What is the upside to empathy these days, politically speaking?” the magazine asked mockingly.

They spelled out their preferred approach in detail. Democrats should be “callous, perhaps, but short of cruel.”

The publication provided sample responses for Democrats to use. They suggested saying “No one deserves to die an untimely death, even Charlie Kirk, a supporter of policies that have killed people far more innocent than him.”

The magazine warned against calling political violence an aberration. Instead, they wanted Democrats to blame Trump and Kirk for normalizing violence.

They praised Elizabeth Warren for refusing to soften her rhetoric. When asked if Democrats would dial back their language, Warren snapped back at reporters.

“Oh, please. Why don’t you start with the president of the United States?” Warren had said.

The New Republic contrasted this with how Democrats responded to Trump’s assassination attempt. They criticized Democratic leaders for releasing “appropriate statements” condemning the violence.

Republicans, they claimed, refused to hold hands and pointed fingers instead. The magazine accused them of selling T-shirts and reframing the election as vigilante justice.

The publication concluded with a stark political calculation. They pointed to the leftward surge after George Floyd’s murder as their model.

“The lesson shouldn’t be ‘Don’t squeeze a tragedy for political capital,'” they wrote. “The lesson should be, look at what can happen if you do.”

The New Republic made their intentions crystal clear. They want Democrats to exploit Kirk’s assassination for maximum political gain.

Meanwhile, leftists continue celebrating the political violence online. Social media platforms remain flooded with mocking posts about Kirk’s death.

A new website called Charlie’s Murderers has launched in response. The site aims to expose those who targeted and vilified Kirk before his assassination.

The far-left’s response reveals their true character. They view even assassination as an opportunity to advance their political agenda.

This represents a complete abandonment of American norms and values. The radical left has chosen political warfare over basic human decency.

Their message to grieving families is clear. Your loss means nothing compared to our political goals.

This is the modern Democratic Party’s intellectual leadership speaking. They’re openly advocating for political exploitation of murder and assassination.

Americans must recognize what we’re facing. The radical left has declared war on civility, empathy, and basic human compassion itself.
