Legitimately. After seeing the vultures trying to put on Charlie Kirk's skinsuit it seems like the way to rise up in the grifting ranks is to kill the current grifter and take their place.

Edit: I don't think people state enough that charlie kirk had hundreds of millions of dollars at age 31. He was well on his way to retiring as a billionaire. The guy was literally a sellout and now there's at least a dozen grifters lining up to get at the billionaire money-faucets he had.

The dude never worked a real job since he was 18. He just did his schtick till he died.

Charlie got that money from Russia via crypto transfers

JP apparently is also funded by putin too, as are the other grifters.

Yes, elsewhere itt I have speculated that JP illness could be from something the Russians did when he was there for his coma.

Something like this, polonium poisoning that affected maybe 700 other people before they realized what it was.
