The Left couldn’t rewrite Charlie Kirk’s legacy while he was alive.
Now they’re trying to rewrite the story of his death.
And Big Tech got caught spreading one massive lie about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Big Tech’s AI systems rewrite Charlie Kirk’s assassination
The major AI platforms that millions of Americans now use for news have been caught red-handed spreading false information about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
When asked to name recent assassinations motivated by right-wing ideology, multiple AI chatbots – powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Perplexity – all listed Kirk’s murder as their primary example.
Google’s Gemini made the completely false claim that Kirk’s assassination “has been identified by some researchers as the only fatal right-wing terrorist incident in the U.S. during the first half of 2025.”
That’s not just wrong – it’s the exact opposite of reality.
Court records show that Tyler Robinson, Kirk’s assassin, told his transgender romantic partner he shot Kirk because he had “enough of [Kirk’s] hatred” and that “some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
Shell casings believed to be Robinson’s were inscribed with anti-fascist phrases.
Robinson was described by Utah officials and in charging documents as politically left-leaning.
He called Kirk a “fascist” on an unused bullet.
But somehow, AI systems that shape public opinion are telling Americans the conservative commentator was killed by a right-wing extremist.
The timing couldn’t be worse for conservatives
This coordinated misinformation campaign comes at the worst possible moment.
Traffic to traditional news publishers from Google searches has plummeted over the last year as more Americans – especially younger ones – turn to AI-powered searches for their news.
These AI chatbots are becoming primary news sources, but they’re training on mainstream media sources that lean heavily left.
A recent Free Beacon analysis found that Al Jazeera – the virulently anti-Israel news source controlled by the Hamas-friendly State of Qatar – was one of the two most popular sources used by AI chatbots for queries about the Israel-Hamas war.
At the same time, these same systems claimed they didn’t use overtly pro-Israel publications.
The pattern is crystal clear: Big Tech’s AI systems are systematically biased against conservatives and American interests.
When caught, they scrambled to cover their tracks
Here’s where it gets really interesting.
After the Washington Free Beacon reached out for comment, both Perplexity and Google’s Gemini suddenly changed their answers about Kirk’s assassination.
Perplexity initially claimed Kirk was killed by right-wing ideology, then later returned a “factually accurate response” saying Robinson has been described as “increasingly left-leaning.”
Google told the Free Beacon that its engineers couldn’t replicate the initial false response about Kirk.
That’s corporate speak for “we got caught and quickly fixed it.”
But how many millions of Americans already received the false information before these companies scrambled to cover their tracks?
The double standard is breathtaking
The bias goes far beyond just Charlie Kirk’s case.
When asked if the attempted assassinations of President Donald Trump were examples of left-wing political violence, Perplexity said they were “not clearly categorized by authorities as acts of left-wing violence.”
But when asked about other cases with far less clear ideological motivation, the same chatbot had no problem labeling them as “right-wing violence.”
Perplexity also declined to categorize the 2020 George Floyd riots as left-wing violence, calling any “violent acts” part of a “complex social context rather than being straightforward examples of ‘left-wing political violence.'”
But January 6th? That was immediately labeled as “widely recognized as an example of right-wing political violence.”
When asked about Antifa, Perplexity described it as activists who “oppose fascism” through tactics that “include nonviolent protest” – completely sanitizing an organization that Trump recently declared a terrorist group.
Left-wing violence gets the kid glove treatment
The most telling example came when ChatGPT claimed it was “unable to identify any clear, well-documented cases in recent years in the U.S. of successful assassinations that are widely accepted as being motivated by left-wing extremist ideology.”
The AI system called left-wing assassinations “exceptionally rare in U.S. history in the contemporary era.”
This despite the Center for Strategic and International Studies releasing a study showing that left-wing domestic terrorism is surging this year.
But you won’t hear that from Big Tech’s AI systems.
They’re too busy rewriting Charlie Kirk’s murder to fit their preferred narrative.
What this really means for America
Here’s what should terrify every American about this story.
Big Tech companies are weaponizing artificial intelligence to rewrite reality in real-time – and they’re doing it to protect the radical Left.
Millions of Americans now get their news from AI chatbots that have been systematically programmed to present conservatives as violent extremists while whitewashing actual left-wing terrorism.
Charlie Kirk’s assassination should serve as a stark warning about the growing threat of radical leftist violence across the country.
But instead of confronting that reality, Big Tech is exploiting his death to advance their preferred narrative that conservatives pose the real danger.
We’re watching the deliberate manipulation of information on a massive scale.
Conservatives are getting steamrolled in this battle because most Americans have no idea these AI systems are actively distorting the truth.
When someone claims that AI represents neutral, objective information sources, point them to exactly what these systems reported about Charlie Kirk’s murder.
Then ask why anyone should place their trust in artificial intelligence built by the exact same companies that have spent years systematically censoring conservative voices.
The conclusion writes itself.
