During a segment on Monday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk told his audience that if someone wants to be a "midterm hero" then all they have to do is bail out the person that attacked Paul Pelosi. Kirk finds it ridiculous that conservatives are being blamed for the attack, but the attacker's own social media history undermines their claims of innocence. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

If you had any doubt that conservatives were actually celebrating the attack on Paul Pelosi from late last week. Let me direct you to this clip from Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Monday, where he actually encouraged his audience to bail out the man who attacked Paul Pelosi. Take a look at this disgusting clip.
I mean, I'm looking@politico.com, I'm looking at the New York Times. I'm looking at all these places, and there's a little bit of mention here. For example, Politico says, Top Republicans reject any link between G O P rhetoric and Paul Pelosi assault. Of course, you should reject any link. Why is the Republican party, why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry makers breaking into somebody's home or maybe not breaking into somebody's home? Why are we to blame for that Exactly. And why is, is he still in jail? Why is he not been bailed out? By the way, if some, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out. I bet his bail's like 30 or 40,000 bucks. Bail him out and then go ask him some questions. I wonder what his bail is. They're going after him with attempted murder, political assassination, all this sort of stuff. I'm not qualifying it. I think it's awful. It's not right. But why is it that in Chicago you're able to commit murder and be out the next day? Why is it that you're able to trespass second degree murder? Our sin threat of public official cashless bail? This happens all over San Francisco, but if you go after the Pelosi's, oh, you're let out immediately.
So just to kind of start off right off the bat here, uh, everything that Charlie Kirk just said about this alleged attack, not alleged attacker, we know the guy did it. Um, everything Charlie Kirk alleged is not true. Like Charlie Kirk seems to be basing his entire opinion of this fella on that fake story that Elon Musk shared on Twitter the other day saying that it was a gay male prostitute that somehow was involved with the 80 plus year old Paul Pelosi. There is no truth to that at all. And by the way, we also recently got the, uh, I don't know if you wanna call it the confession letter or whatever the, uh, manifesto of the attacker. And it's pretty obvious that he was a hardcore right-winger and none of the conspiracy theories being pushed by people on the right turned out to be true.
We have the attackers own words now and they show that yes, he was a radicalized conservative. Excuse me. So here's the thing also to kind of knock Charlie Kirk down a peg, the man's being held without bail and that wasn't even hard to find. You idiot. Do you not do any research at all before you get in front of a microphone? Do you just sit down and pull up a, a, a website of conservative news and say, Well, I'm just gonna talk. I don't know if anything's true. I'm not gonna bother to do any research. I'm just gonna say stupid things because that's what my stupid audience wants. And yes, actually I firmly believe that is what Charlie Kirk and plenty of other people on the right do. They don't have to do research when they can just make things up cuz they know their audience is going to buy into it no matter how crazy and stupid it is. But all of that is beside the point. Kirk said to his audience, You could be a midterm hero by bailing out this man.
