There's an unrelenting drive within the left to avoid claiming any kind of accountability for anything negative that happens. It doesn't matter what it is; the ideology demands that there can be no mea culpas. Any show of falibility could lead to a domino effect that would have society waking up to the fact that the left is truly the bad guys in the room.
You've seen it happen so often, especially in recent years. Like narcissists of the highest order, they do their absolute best to redirect blame, project fault, gaslight people, and minimize any atrocity done by their side or by groups they champion.
I can't get on X right now without seeing example after example of it.
Of course, Psaki immediately decided to put all the blame for all the harmful rhetoric directly on Trump, and they spent a segment of her show effectively just blaming Trump for what happened to Charlie.
Psaki: Trump’s comments on Charlie Kirk assassination are creating an “escalation” of the situation.

But, again, Trump is right.
The left spends an inordinate amount of time accusing right-leaning people of being the worst human beings on the planet. They accuse us of being Nazis, fascists, would-be genocidal freaks, lovers of violence, and hateful beyond reason. They constantly excuse violence against right-leaning people, even encouraging people to do it with slogans about punching Nazis.
I'm not even at the level of fame Trump is, or Charlie was, but even I've gotten a slew of accusations about my character that aren't even true, while people have used that false characterization of me to wish death on me, threatened to rape the women in my life, or say horrible, awful things about my child.
The left treats people on the right as sub-human, and as Charlie once said, it's created an assassination culture where you're marked for death simply because you disagree with them.
When something does happen, no accountability is taken. Psaki demonstrated this perfectly.
Even Barack Obama is showing this same tendency by saying "we don't yet know what motive" drove the shooter to assassinate Charlie.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

What other motive could there be? Did this guy shoot Charlie because he cut in line at the supermarket? Did Charlie accidentally step on his new shoes? Were Charlie's yard clippings getting into his own yard?
There's really only one reason someone would murder Charlie, and that's because he posed an ideological threat. Obama knows that. He sees the writing on the wall just like everyone else does, but he can't come out and say that the very rhetoric his side displays, and that he often ignores, led to the culture where violence was a preferable option.
New York Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also wanted to directly get away from the "rhetoric" side of the conversation and make it about gun control, as if the gun is responsible for Charlie's assassination.

She's right, we can point the finger, and the vast majority are pointed directly at the left, where people like AOC will cheer on violence from leftist groups and go silent about the consequences.
Charlie's murder solidifies the guilt the left has when it comes to the culture they created through their hate and fearmongering. They've consistently painted their ideological opponents as pure evil; they're in a desperate battle against when, in reality, we're just Americans who want to sit and talk it out.
Charlie was proof of this. He was the best of us, and they killed the man who presented that willingness to talk it out best. Any claim that they want to have a "conversation" is out the door. They never wanted to talk with us; they wanted to talk at us, and any form of talking back was grounds for violence, because words are violence, as they've reminded us on many occasions.
They will not take the blame for the culture they've created, but that doesn't mean they're not responsible for it. It doesn't mean we can't hold them accountable even if they won't accept said accountability. They are guilty. End of.
