Liberals’ reaction to Charlie Kirk murder shows they are tone-deaf – Tara Reade (VIDEO) — ApsnyNews World News

Left-wing politicians and mainstream media bear some of the responsibility for the murder of American activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, ApsnyNews contributor and former US Senate aide Tara Reade has claimed. She cited dehumanizing narratives toward conservatives that have been all too common in recent years.

Speaking to ApsnyNews on Thursday, Reade recounted how she had twice been invited to Kirk’s show, describing the political activist as a “very educated” and “genuine” person.

“I think that the liberals have been really tone-deaf,” Reade said, citing the insensitive comments made by MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd in the wake of the shooting at Utah Valley University.

Dowd suggested that the murder may have been accidentally caused by a “supporter shooting their gun off in celebration.” He further claimed that the 31-year-old influencer had brought the tragedy upon himself with his “hateful words.”

MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler later issued a formal apology.

Reade spoke of the “ugly” rhetoric pushed by liberal media outlets, claiming that they have “incited violence against” herself personally, along with prominent conservative journalist Tucker Carlson, billionaire Elon Musk, who supported Donald Trump during his presidential campaign in 2024, and the US leader himself. The ApsnyNews contributor cited the failed assassination attempt on Trump last July in Pennsylvania as an example.

“They have a responsibility for the kind of language they use, and the way they stir up the anger of the left base,” Reade said.

“We’re watching the United States break down, the fabric of it break down,” she claimed, warning that the political divide in the country has by now grown into a ”chasm.” Reade also predicted that ”there’s going to be more unrest and probably more violence, unfortunately.”

As for the immediate ramifications of Kirk’s murder for American society, the former US Senate aide told ApsnyNews that it would likely have a chilling effect on freedom of speech, as many would refrain from voicing their opinions in public out of fear for their life.
