Patriots are flying Old Glory at half-staff again today, in honor of Charlie Kirk and in accordance with the directive from the White House — but not in New York and New Jersey:

Democratic-led states including New York and New Jersey have refused to lower flags to half-staff this week in honor of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The refusal is in defiance of a presidential proclamation issued by Donald Trump ordering the nationwide tribute following Kirk’s killing. …

While federal buildings in Washington, D.C. complied immediately, lowering flags at the White House and other agencies, the order was ignored by state governments in New York and New Jersey, where official flag guidance listed ‘full staff’ and no state-level order was issued.

The same applies in Los Angeles under communist Mayor Karen Bass, a prominent Democrat who was almost chosen as VP in 2020:

US Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) resorted to obscenity to express how much he doesn’t want us remembering Charlie Kirk:

What f[***]ing difference does it make if this murderer was left or right. Pull yourself together, read a book, get some exercise, have a whiskey or walk the dog or make some pasta or go fishing or just do anything other than let this algo pickle your brain and ruin your soul

Establishment Democrats perpetually whip their base into a homicidal frenzy, with unsurprising consequences. Liberals are delighted that Charlie Kirk is dead. But they don’t like it that they have created a martyr who will serve as a rallying point against them.

Countermoonbats are blessed. Liberals have a scummy career criminal who died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest. We get Charlie Kirk.
