Send us Fan MailIn the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk&apos;s assassination, the Neal Larson grapples with the resulting political and societal fallout. He strongly refutes the &quot;both sides&quot; narrative that assigns equal blame for the current heated political climate, arguing that violent rhetoric and actions predominantly stem from the political left. Neal critiques opinion pieces calling for a general lowering of the temperature, stating such calls are too late and misdirected. He asserts that conservatives have long warned that labeling political opponents as &quot;Nazis&quot; and &quot;fascists&quot; would lead to violence. Citing a list of politically motivated attacks read by Senator Eric Schmidt, the Neal maintains that the problem of political violence is a &quot;cancer&quot; within the left that its own pundits and politicians refuse to address, and that genuine unity can only be achieved by honestly identifying the source of the problem.Neal and Julie also discuss the broader societal impact of the assassination, describing a pervasive sense of darkness, distrust, and division.
