Is the left stoking political violence? Is Musk up to his old racist tricks, or does he actually know what he’s talking about this time? Again, we don’t know who killed Charlie Kirk or why they did it. But if he is the latest casualty of political violence, then combating this growing epidemic requires facts and evidence.

To find out the truth, we used data from two sources:

The Prosecution Project: An open-source research platform “tracking and providing an analysis of felony criminal cases involving illegal political violence occurring since 1990.”

FBI Hate Crime Statistics: Although political violence is different from hate crimes, the numerous claims of anti-white and anti-Christian violence deserve exploring.

We only counted arrests, indictments or convictions since 2015. When multiple perpetrators were involved in a single event, we treated the incident as a single occurrence but counted each accused perpetrator. To avoid unfairly weighting the sample, we excluded the people charged in the Jan. 6, 2021 attempted coup and treated the attack on the Capitol as a single incident. For the sake of our coverage, we only considered cases that occurred within the United States. And since some hate crimes are also politically motivated, we kept the two distinct datasets separate.

Here’s what we found.
