What influential leftist was up on TV

There are influential leftists on TV?

I guess Hasan's stream gets covered by those kinds of things and he immediately went to condemn violence or whatever.

Either way, leftists independently immediately were celebrating while most people were still in the "what's a charlie kirk?" (many of whom very soon became "I heard Charlie was a great man. A genius they say" people). No top-down propaganda machine needed other than Charlie living a life that would lead to good people celebrating its loss. But yeah: it wasn't a spectacle - people were just genuinely happy.

Yup, what I mean. Us celebrating isn't a spectacle, what occurred afterwards to manufacture the hysteria in media certainly was, though.
