In a subsequent tweet on the same date, Harrigan commented on recent developments related to Charlie Kirk’s assassin. He stated, “From the start, it was clear Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a radical leftist. The left denied it, @jimmykimmel mocked it, and now he’s the punchline he could never write.”
