(LifeSiteNews) — On the day after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, commentator Matt Walsh offered a poignant video commentary on the meaning of Charlie’s untimely death while presciently predicting the extraordinary eruption of faith and unity, strength and resolve we have witnessed over the last few days in the United States.
“Some of the very same people in the media who intentionally stoke murderous hatred against people like Charlie Kirk (are) now saying we need to ‘turn down the temperature, start having conversations,’” Walsh said during his podcast. “Well, Charlie tried to have conversations with you on the left, and you killed him for it.”
“You’re killing us in our churches. You tried to kill our president. You killed one of our greatest advocates in Charlie Kirk. You have been openly cheering for and celebrating and encouraging and committing political violence for years,” he recounted, “Antifa, BLM — well-funded, highly orchestrated, widespread movements based in and fueled by violence.”
“It’s too late to turn the temperature down,” he announced. “This is not a time to hold hands. This is a time for justice. This is a time for good to fight back against evil. It is time for the righteous to prevail, for the sake of our country and for our families and our children and for Charlie.”
“Many of you have seen all the myriad posts and videos from leftist demons celebrating Charlie’s death. I know we want to tell ourselves that these are fringe voices, but they aren’t. There’s a very large group of people out there who want us dead,” he explained.
“Even in Congress they tried to have a moment of silence after Charlie’s passing, but Democrats jeered and heckled,” said Walsh, reemphasizing, “in Congress!”
“This is who they are. Not on the fringes. In the main. They could not possibly make themselves any clearer about it,” he said. “When I see these rodents gloating now over the death of my friend, I’m of course disgusted by it, yet I also truly see it as a powerful tribute to Charlie’s life and work.”
“Charlie had many friends who loved him dearly, many fans who adored and admired him. That’s without a doubt the greatest testament to the sort of man he was,” Walsh said. “No question about it.”
“As a true cultural warrior, it must be said that the evil gloating of his enemies are accolades in their own right.” Walsh then urged:
May we all be so successful and productive that our enemies celebrate when we die.
May we all be so devastating to the leftist project that they long for our demise.
May we all fight so hard and so effectively that they have no choice but to try to kill us.
May our lives be a problem for these people, and our deaths a relief. Let them dance on my grave as they danced on Charlie’s, then I will know that I did my duty.
“Our opponents should be happy when we leave the ring. If they aren’t, then we didn’t punch hard enough. Charlie punched harder than anyone,” Walsh said. ‘He did it with a smile. He did it through speech and debate. He did it non-violently. But he was a devastating fighter all the same.”
“And his opponents are overjoyed because they think they’ve gotten rid of him,” he explained, “but they’re wrong. They have gravely misjudged the situation.”
“The only thing more powerful than a living fighter is a martyred one,” Walsh said. “In life, Charlie motivated and rallied us to put on the armor of God and fight for what we believe in. In death, he motivates and rallies us all the more.”
“I want to be very clear that we will not back down after this,” Walsh declared. “We will not shrink away or go into hiding. We will not fall silent. We will not walk in fear. We will stand taller and prouder than we ever have and will be louder and bolder than we have ever been, and fight harder than we’ve ever fought.”
