Conservative PAC turns tables on left-wing narrative defending teachers who smear Charlie Kirk
A conservative political action committee launched an effort to expose teachers across the country justifying Charlie Kirks assassination online and is pushing back on claims from the left that conservatives are being hypocritical about free speech.Stefano Forte, executive director of 1776 Project PAC, spoke to Fox News digital about thenew form live on the organizations website where users can flag teachers and administrators who have justified Kirks killing online, a form he says has already yielded an "endless stream of tips.""Many people are essentially happy that Charlie Kirk has been killed. And these people are in charge of the next generations," Forte said.As conservatives online havelaunched a variety of efforts to expose online hate directed at Kirk, numerous elected officials and pundits on the left have accused the political right of cracking down on free speech, which Forte called "ridiculous."EXPERTS WARN LEFTIST CELEBRATIONS OF CHARLIE KIRK'S DEATH SIGNAL A DANGEROUS MAINSTREAM SHIFT IN POLITICS"When they had social power, they didnt care about our free speech at all," Forte said. They didnt care who was canceled for having basic Republican opinions, or fired for supporting Trump, or even for retweeting Charlie Kirk. The only speech they want protected is their own.""No one is saying they cant talk. They can post whatever they wantbut there are consequences. If youre openly celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, you shouldnt be teaching children. Thats not about free speech; its about judgment and character. These are cruel people, and its dangerous to have them in classrooms."LIBERAL PROFESSORS GROUP BACKS FACULTY SPEECH AFTER CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION, SILENT ON CONDEMNING ATTACKSocial media posts celebrating, justifying, or downplaying Kirks assassination have been prevalent in the academic community, with many of the individuals losing their jobs as a result.In one case, Fox News Digitalfirst reported that an administrator at George Washington University posted on social media his thoughts about why it was "fair" that Kirk was killed and that he felt "no thoughts" and "no prayers" over the killing."It also points to something bigger: if youre okay with Charlie Kirk being killed, then youre likely okay with people who agree with himor people further right than himbeing killed too," Forte told Fox News Digital. "Thats a serious problem. So yes, were amplifying their speech. They chose to make it public. Were just making sure people know what they said."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe George Washington University administrators Facebook post was "liked" and "loved" by at least 37 people, some of whom were employed at universities across the country."The rot is incredibly deep," Forte told Fox News Digital. " Some far-left organizations, like DSA, even put out PSAs telling their members what to post. It shows how many of these people are out there, self-reporting. Theyve gotten so comfortable in the cancel culture they built that they assumed only right-wingers could ever get in trouble for speaking their mind. They thought nothing would happen to them."
