Millions of Americans spent this week in grief and remembrance, gathering to mourn the assassination of Charlie Kirk and celebrate the life of a man who built one of the most influential conservative movements in the country. From State Farm Stadium in Glendale to living rooms and church halls across America, the message was unity, gratitude, and determination to carry forward his work.
But while families, friends, and supporters were bowing their heads in prayer, Democrats chose the day of Kirk’s funeral to launch a fresh round of attacks. Instead of showing even a shred of decency, they filled the airwaves with slander, smears, and outright lies.
It’s a day of mourning for millions of Americans. For a hateful few – it’s a day for division, race baiting & slander of a man who did nothing but engage in good faith debate and civil discourse.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), never one to miss a moment to grandstand, went on CNN and used the occasion to paint Kirk as a racist — offering not a single example, not a single quote, not a single piece of evidence. Just the same tired buzzwords designed to smear and dehumanize. And CNN, true to form, let it all go unchallenged.
Thankfully, Republican commentator Scott Jennings wasn’t about to let the lies stand. He pushed back hard, reminding the audience that Charlie Kirk targeted nobody, that he welcomed debate, and that his life’s work was dedicated to free speech, civic engagement, and strengthening the fabric of the American family and community. Jennings said what CNN’s own anchors refused to: Charlie Kirk was not a racist. Full stop.
Scott, thank you for boldly speaking the truth to the CNN hosts and viewers. You are the sole voice of reason and truth there.
We appreciate you going into the lions den every day.— S. Garrett (@StevenG06865655) September 21, 2025
And that’s the tell, isn’t it? If the network’s “journalists” believed Crockett’s claims were untrue, they would have challenged her. They didn’t — because they share the view. The silence wasn’t professional restraint. It was endorsement.
Viewers and commenters noticed. Across X and other platforms, Americans called out CNN’s disgraceful performance and Democrats’ shameless opportunism. One comment summed it up: “I knew evil was real, but the reaction to Kirk’s death made it easier to see.”
Scott, thanks for being direct, clear, and loud.

It’s worth pausing on that. Because the refusal to honor the dead, the insistence on smearing a man in the very hour his family and young children are burying him, isn’t just politics as usual. It’s something darker.
The Democratic Party couldn’t take a single day off from dishonesty and division. Not one day. Even in the face of assassination, their reflex was hatred. And if this is what they’re willing to say at the funeral, you can be sure the rhetoric is only going to escalate in the days ahead.
They still can’t provide one instance of Kirk being racist…but that doesn’t stop them from going on tv to say it. Unreal.

For the millions who came together to honor Charlie Kirk’s life, the contrast could not be clearer. On one side: unity, love, faith, and patriotism. On the other: bitterness, lies, and the politics of destruction.
