The number of publicly available brain-dead takes on Charlie Kirk’s death is one less after Jemele Hill deleted her Bluesky post.
On September 12, before anything of importance was known about the suspect in Kirk’s murder, Hill shared a post on Threads and Bluesky bizarrely claiming that he was “the victim of a white supremacist gang hit.”
Washington Free Beacon‘s Chuck Ross announced the deletion on X:

“The Atlantic’s [Hill] deleted her Bluesky post where she said Charlie Kirk’s assassination was carried out by a white supremacist gang. She was citing ‘disinformation expert’ Joan Donovan, who should now be shunned by the media,” Ross wrote.
The discussion that led to Hill’s post centered around the strange engravings on the bullets, which largely consisted of memes and sayings among niche online communities.
“The LA Times spoke with an expert (imagine that!) about the markings on the killer’s bullet casings, and it turns out … Charlie Kirk likely was the victim of a white supremacist gang hit. Well, well, well,” Hill wrote in her now-deleted intellectual offerings.
Donovan claimed that the sayings, such as “If you read this, you are gay lmao,” are “typical kind of joking that comes from even more extreme right-wing movements, particularly a group that has dogged Charlie Kirk for years, that [is] led by Nick Fuentes.”
Hill also badmouthed Kirk on her podcast last Friday, for having “white supremacist beliefs” and saying his death should be celebrated because his influence was “dangerous.”
As more and more evidence comes out that the alleged shooter was not associated with the Republican Party or extreme right-wing ideology, posts like Hill’s are being exposed for what they are: Desperate attempts at distancing leftists from the consequences of their chronic incendiary rhetoric. Calling people “fascist” and “dangerous” can only go on so long before some people feel compelled to ‘make the world a safer place’ through any means necessary.
X users weighed in:
It’s time to start judging books by their covers. Those judgements might occasionally be wrong but too often they’re not.

If you delete it, it never happened, right?

Well, her source was a disinformation expert. She should’ve gone to an information expert instead.

Joan Donovan is definitely an expert at spreading disinformation.
