2:03:21Now PlayingOfficially, there’s no clear motive in the murder of Charlie Kirk, but that hasn’t stopped conservative leaders from pointing the blame at the left. Yesterday, Trump said leftist organizations are under investigation, though he didn’t say exactly why. Today, Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, put the blame squarely on colleges and universities saying they are places where young people are radicalized to the left. Places of higher learning don’t appear to have come in to play in the Kirk killing, as the suspect only attended one semester before moving to a trade school. Is it a case of MAGA trying to keep their base uneducated?
We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston for his thoughts.
There is no doubt, given all the jockeying for position and gerrymandering already, that the 2026 midterm elections are going to be hard fought. We check in with Richard Greene the Civics Dean to talk strategy.
