Journalist Mark Halperin appeared on the Megyn Kelly podcast on Wednesday and said that the assassination of Charlie Kirk could actually change the outcome of next year’s midterm elections.

Halperin explained that he has been dumbfounded by the reaction of Democrats to Kirk’s murder and says that Democrats have absolutely no idea how huge Kirk was as a figure or the massive size of Kirk’s reach.

Megyn adds that many people are running away from the Democrats simply based on the left’s ghoulish reaction to the murder.

The Daily Caller has more details:

Journalist Mark Halperin told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Monday that he believes the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk could have serious consequences for Democrats in the upcoming elections.

Following Kirk’s murder on Wednesday, some Democrats celebrated his death while others blamed President Donald Trump’s rhetoric. Discussing Democrats’ responses to the assassination on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Halperin said the party is back to demonizing Kirk even in his death because of his ties to Trump, since that’s “the only way they think.”

“Is it that, Mark? Is it that? A legit question. I don’t know the answer. Or is it that he’s suddenly an enormous threat?” Kelly asked.

“They don’t know what a threat he is. They know so little about him. I think this could change the entire midterms,” Halperin said. “Yeah, I think this could be galvanizing the way the Dobbs [v. Jackson] decision was. But they have no idea what he did. They don’t have any idea what his following is like.”

Halperin is right about the Democrats being clueless about Kirk. It certainly would explain their insane reaction to his murder.
