Lying about election fraud is a pretty silly justification for assassination.

The January 6 insurrection at the US Congress was based on untruths about the prior election.

Why?

The president of the United States is the most powerful position in the world and therefore it's theft would be a great crime.

Accusing the political opposition of this crime in order to gain power is a massive evil

Saying he lied about election fraud assumes he knew it was fake and said it anyways.

Charlie Kirk may have been incorrect but he generally seemed to believe his positions.

That is weak sauce. He was a skilled political operator. To suggest he believed what is provably false suggests he was a fool.

The point is it doesn't matter. Nobody should be murdered for spreading a lie.

		Two things can be true at the same time. Spreading lies does matter - it matters a lot. And it's not an excuse for murder.

		You said it was a silly. I was responding to that. I didn't say people should be murdered for spreading a lie.

If you don't have sufficient evidence for something but make the claim anyway, that's akin to lying.

He also didn't suggest it was a possibility he stated it was stolen
