Left-leaning sources frame this story by presenting a fabricated premise—Charlie Kirk's "assassination"—as an established fact, immediately setting a sensational and misleading tone. They highlight the controversial actions of "MAGA Reps," using emotionally charged language to describe Rep. Luna's "raging" and "outburst," and emphasize her unsubstantiated claims of blame against the Left. The narrative focuses solely on these provocative elements without offering counter-perspectives or factual context.

"Rep. Luna placed blame for Kirk’s assassination on “hateful rhetoric from the Left” and argued a statue of Kirk would “stand as a reminder that political disagreement must never be answered with violence.”"
