The right-wing commentator, youth leader, and political power broker Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during an event in Utah on Wednesday. It's an event that is going to rock the political world and by extension, the country.
In the hours after he was shot, far-right voices, Republican leaders, and the President have been blaming "the left" and Democrats with some calling to make just being a Democrat illegal.
Grant talks about what happened in Utah and how the FBI manhunt has gotten off to a botched start. Then he dives into what those conservative leaders are saying, why the facts prove them wrong about the left being a violent movement, and where we go from here.
