Sky News contributor James Bolt argues the assassination of Charlie Kirk demonstrates how left-wing rhetoric serves as a "beacon" for online extremists. “There is a certain element of the radical left that thinks it’s not just enough to go Trump’s a whatever, or Charlie Kirk is hurting this nation; it’s not enough to just go crazy online about that,” Mr Bolt told Sky News host James Morrow. “There is a certain element of very crazy people who go, I need to actually do this. “When the culture starts permitting … all these awful things that get said about Donald Trump, all these awful things that get said about conservative thinkers, a beacon goes out for crazy people to go, this is how I become famous.”
