Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) absolutely wrecked CNN’s Kaitlin Collins during an appearance on the network that aired just hours after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Collins and her Democrat ilk have tried for years to paint traditional and Christian Americans – many of whom fall under the MAGA umbrella – as the enemy, but Mullins delivered a masterclass rebuttal to that lie.
For context, Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10th in Utah, and after several hours of speculation about his condition, it was announced he had passed. It was in those latter hours that Oklahoma’s junior Senator sat down in studio with Collins and vehemently pushed back against the notion that Christians were the cause of so much of America’s political problems.
Amazingly, Mullin didn’t even want to get “political” as he said, but the reality is that one’s politics are informed heavily by one’s foundation view on morality and ethics, so it’s essential and almost necessary to discuss both simultaneously. So while he was there to nominally discuss the Kirk killing, it was almost inevitable the conversation would dovetail into a defense of Christianity and acknowledgment of the persecution Christians face in a woke, secular world.
“I don’t mean to make this political at all,” Mullin began in a response to Collins, “but I feel like the Christian values and Christians are under attack because the same people that said that they feel threatened by traditional values, by Christian values, are now the same people that seem like they’re attacking those that they disagree with politically and and and religiously and I, and once again, I just use this for example.”
“For the last, you know, two horrific cases, but you don’t see Christians going out there shooting up churches and schools and trying to assassinate political enemies. There was no assassination attempt on President Obama or President Biden. There was no assassination attempt on any of our Democrat colleagues…” he continued
Watch that exchange below between the Republican Senator and woke CNN host:
Collins and her CNN audience likely missed the sagacious observation from Mullin, as they were more preoccupied with trying to figure out how to blame Donald Trump for everything, but he drew the line between the years-long set up of painting Christians as intolerant, wrong, and threatening to a postmodern world where society is supposed to believe boys can be girls, borders are racist, criminals deserve more compassion than their victims, and illegals ought not receive taxpayer handouts.
As much of America begins accepting that belief, it was only natural for more radicalized elements to not just see Christians as people with whom they disagree but as enemies in an existential battle. The shootings of Kirk and kids at a Catholic school, Mullin pointed out, were merely the manifestation of this worldview and indeed often the logical endpoint under the pressure of endless demagoguery.
One user on social media commented under the video that for people like these CNN hosts and their shrinking audiences, the fact this mindset has become so entrenched means they view themselves as the only good people. “It’s completely lost on them that their side is the violent side. They can’t deal with opposing views or free speech so they rationalize murder as just. These people are degenerates.”
