“I know not everybody at this table is a conservative, but Charlie Kirk was murdered because he talked about God, family, country. Those are views that people like Scott [Jennings] and I hold dearly. If Charlie Kirk, a private citizen, can be targeted for those views, it makes us all feel like we have a target on our back,” The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman said on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip. “To the average conservative like myself, this is a scary time because one of our own was taken out. And I think what people have to realize about left-wing violence is it’s not some made-up fantasy. There are three court cases going on today for assassinations: Luigi Mangione, Ryan Routh, and Tyler Robinson. What do all three have in common?”
Fellow panelist Neera Tanden laughed before saying: “There are lots of political trials for violence.”
“They’re all left-wing,” Lyman shot back.
