Antifa celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder before panicking over backlash

The Post Millennial Senior Editor Andy Ngo has criticised Antifa for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder but stated the group is “quite concerned” with the “anger” at the assassination.   “In the immediate hours in the first two days after the assassination, all of the Antifa all around the world were celebrating, and they were celebrating not just that Mr Kirk was assassinated, but that somebody with his views was killed,” Mr Ngo told Sky News host James Morrow. “They were surprised at the unity in the backlash and anger at what happened … They really thought this would be another killing that would just be either ignored by the media. “They’re quite concerned, and they are discussing ways for how to sabotage the right because they really fear the pendulum changing.”

Daily Signal video; Victor Davis Hanson    "Charlie Kirk’s death ignited a fire within Western civilization, and it is sending a message to the Left: No more.

"It’s been one week since Kirk was shot dead while debating on a college campus, and the Right is reacting more viscerally than we’ve seen from it in recent memory. Not only that, but we’re seeing worldwide support for Kirk, mass demonstrations against illegal immigration in Europe, the fall of France’s government, and a grassroots movement saying, “Enough is enough,” here in America. Victor Davis Hanson analyzes the events that pushed the West to its boiling point and where we go from here on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” "“What is this moment? We're seeing it in the United States with thousands of people are commemorating the death of Charlie Kirk. There's no tolerance for the usual left-wing, socialist craziness, the abhorrent violent smears of conservatives who've died. And you don't see major bureaucrats, or generals, or Hollywood figures—increasingly, they're not coming out and rejoicing because they feel that they're going to get a big pushback. “ We also are tired of what I call boutique anti-Americanism. We see Ilhan Omar suggesting that our elected government is worse than the dictatorship in Somalia; or we see AOC calling Donald Trump a fascist, as she has in the past; or we see Rashida Tlaib just demonizing and damning the United States, even though her parents fled the Middle East to come here. And we're tired of it. It doesn't mean we're gonna outlaw free speech or try to use the same tactics as the critics of America do. But what we're saying is, we're a unique place. We're better than the alternative. We don't have to be perfect to be good. So, you can say all you want, but we're gonna not just ignore you, we're gonna do our best to make sure your voices have no influence.” . . .
