The Trump administration vowed to crack down on left-wing groups after the killing of Charlie Kirk. However, the administration has run into a problem.

Law enforcement has found no evidence of any connection between Kirk’s shooter and left-wing groups.

NBC News reported:

The federal investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has yet to find a link between the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and left-wing groups on which President Donald Trump and his administration have pledged to crack down after the killing, three sources familiar with the probe told NBC News.

One person familiar with the federal investigation said that “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups.”

“Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive,” this person continued.

The motivation for the shooting, according to law enforcement, was that the shooter really didn’t like Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric. There is no evidence that the shooter had any connection to left-wing groups or ideology.

The other major issue that the Trump White House has run into is that there are no federal laws that they could use to investigate or prosecute groups on the left.

Trump has already used Kirk’s death to assist in his anti-free speech agenda by getting Jimmy Kimmel thrown off the air, but it looks like the next step, which was likely to be a full-scale campaign against prominent groups who are critical of Trump, might not happen.

There is no evidence. The cover story has been debunked.

The White House appears to have done what so many conservatives claimed that Democrats had been doing. Trump has been trying to weaponize and use Kirk’s death as a partisan issue, but the facts aren’t playing along.

Charlie Kirk will have his funeral service on Sunday, but Donald Trump has already pushed Kirk out of the newscycle with his efforts to get Jimmy Kimmel fired.

There is no evidence to justify a broader investigation, which means that Trump will continue to push Kirk’s name out of the news so that he can have the political spotlight on the right all to himself.
