It’s not the equivalent of 911, but it is a major issue when someone is publicly assassinated in front of their family and hundreds of college students by a left-wing lunatic. The poisonous rhetoric from the left only encourages lunatics to act out and kill people because they’re political views are different.

Did Trump actual equate the two events, or is the ever-mendacious Aviation Pro POed that Trump pointed out the obvious fact that the Kirk assassination is of national import?

That was my thought, who is making such a comparison?

The murder of Charlie Kirk and 9/11 share one common element: The Left cheered both.

This appears to be what Av Pro referred to:

Tulsi Gabbard compares Charlie Kirk’s killing to 9/11 at Kennedy Center memorial

Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, compared the killing of Charlie Kirk to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, in her remarks at a memorial service for the right-wing activist Sunday.

In her address at Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center, Gabbard celebrated Kirk’s passion for debate and belief in free speech, before comparing his assassination at Utah Valley University last week to the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

“Charlie was killed on September 10th,” Gabbard said. “On September 11th we observed the 24th anniversary of the Islamist terror attack on our country, 24 years ago. Now these events have something in common.”

“They were both carried out by those who hold on to ideologies that cannot stand up to scrutiny and challenge, so they feel that their only recourse is to commit an act of violence to silence those who oppose them. And to intimidate and to terrorize others into silence. This is the definition of terrorism.”

My emphasis. So, unsurprisingly, Av Pro lied, in two ways.

Trump was not the speaker.

Tulsi Gabbard's words were "these events have something in common". She did not say they were "equivalent" in any possible meaning of that word.

Equally unsurprisingly, no DUmmie called out Av Pro's lie.
