The Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Jason Polaski’s monologue on The Blind Spot is furious, sprawling, and unsparing. Across 90 minutes, he makes one point relentlessly clear: justifying political assassination is a moral and strategic failure—no matter who gets shot. Polaski loathed Kirk’s politics—reactionary, theocratic, anti-democratic—but insists those views must be defeated in public, not silenced by bullets. He turns his rage on the American left, mocking its sanctimony, strategic incompetence, and lazy celebration of Kirk’s death. You don’t beat Charlie Kirk by gunning him down. You beat him by out-arguing him. Failing to do that is cowardice and political suicide.
