    Leland Vittert Holds Liberal Media Accountable for Robinson Motive

    NewsNation’s On Balance with Leland Vittert

    LELAND VITTERT: We can now conclusively say Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin acted on the deeply irresponsible rhetoric of the left. That is our Why It Matters segment tonight.

    VITTERT: If this wasn’t so serious, it would be like parody. But this is that serious, and that is where ABC News views these text messages: They were touching.

    For the past week, much of the media has held out the fallacy that the shooter wasn’t a left-wing loon. You couldn’t call him a left-wing assassin. We did on the show a few times and people would scream at us. Our guests would. You couldn’t say he was motivated by trans-rights. We saw other networks go from saying, “We don’t know a motive,” to “Let’s take politics out of this,” to, “Well, actually, he was inspired by the right.”

    VITTERT: Yeah, it is crystal clear what happened here. That last clip, where CNN couldn’t figure out if it was clear, came moments after the press conference that clearly laid out the shooter’s beliefs in his own words. And people at CNN are still trying to deny it.

    One of the saddest parts of this story is that the motive was entirely predictable. In fact, Charlie Kirk himself predicted someone harboring these views would try to kill him. This is a clip of him with Bill Maher back in April.

    CHARLIE KIRK: We have different to jihadis that want to kill me? The purple haired, jihadis. The woke guys.

    BILL MAHER: They want to kill me. Want to kill me just as bad. They really do.

    KIRK: No, you’ve been very outspoken on the woke stuff.

    MAHER: Oh yes, I mean – and they – Just the way within a religion, they hate their own apostates more. I would say they hate me more because I’m supposed like get on a short bus to crazy town with them.

    [Cuts back to live]

    VITTERT: That’s a scary bus to be on. At the time it sounded funny, from Maher. Now, quite literally, it is deadly serious. Crazy town is killing people because you disagree with them or because you expose them. And the only way to stop that is to do what we do every night on this program. Very simple. Tell the truth.
