MEGYN KELLY (HOST): And in the case of Charlie, we know a lot, and yet we're looking at a media that's willfully blind to it. They refuse — I mean, even now we're getting the hedges on, like, "We're not sure about the motive, you gotta be really careful." We know. And it's one of the reasons why I can't deal with these people.

If they're gonna run around saying, "We don't know why Charlie was killed," and then immediately equivocating on right-wing versus left-wing violence, like it's a both-sides thing, no. I can't deal with you. You're not proceeding in good faith. I cannot work with you. You do not deserve the benefit of my good doubt. No. So that's where I am.

Like, I cannot deal with, in particular, leftist media. And I've gotta be honest. I don't blame them in that, like, you know, they pulled the trigger, but I do think they created an environment of hate around Charlie, just like they did around Donald Trump. Yes. You did. You know you did. And not just specifically around them with the name-calling and just talking about how divisive they are and fascists and Nazis and all of that.

Not just that, but the way you talk about the issues, for example the ones that were important to Charlie in the culture war, also stirs up hatred. Why can't you just be honest that it is impossible for a man to become a woman? Why can't you just say that? It is a scientific fact. You know it. You're just too chicken shit to say it. You're at best, you're all Malcolm Gladwells who know the truth but willingly lie. None of you believes that you can change your biological sex, and gender is an obvious lie. Gender's a lie. There's only biological sex. Two sexes, male and female, period.

The fact that you not only will not say that, but call everybody who does say that a bigot and try to ostracize them, is hashtag part of the problem. That's how you otherize people like Charlie. That's how you get into the head of these psychopaths with, "He's a terrible man, he's full of hate, some hate can't be negotiated out." That's what the shooter wrote in this note to his boyfriend, the trans furry. This is totally normal. We're not supposed to condemn any of that.
