Jemele Hill Deletes Post Charlie Kirk Was a Victim of 'White Supremacist Gang Hit'

"The Atlantic's Jemele Hill has deleted a social media post where she claimed slain conservative influencer Charlie Kirk likely was the victim of a white supremacist gang hit. Hill's post was shared to Bluesky and Threads on Sept. 12. The LA Times spoke with an expert (imagine that!) about the markings on the killer's bullet casings and it turns out Charlie Kirk likely was the victim of a white supremacist gang hit. Well, well, well, Hill wrote on both platforms."

"Donovan, in her LAT interview, claimed the writing on the bullet casings led her to believe Kirk's killer was more likely a right-winger than a leftist. The phrase, If you read this, you are gay lmao on one casing, Donovan said, was the typical kind of joking that comes from even more extreme right-wing movements, particularly a group that has dogged Charlie Kirk for years, that [is] led by Nick Fuentes."

Jemele Hill deleted a social media post that alleged Charlie Kirk was likely the victim of a white supremacist gang hit. Hill cited a Los Angeles Times interview with Joan Donovan, an assistant journalism professor at Boston University and an expert on extremism, who said writing on bullet casings suggested a right-wing perpetrator. Donovan pointed to a casing reading If you read this, you are gay lmao and linked the style to movements tied to Nick Fuentes. The post was removed after details emerged implicating Tyler Robinson, 22, and messages suggesting personal motives rather than a partisan gang hit.
