The assassination of far-right commentator Charlie Kirk is being used by neo-fascist “active clubs” to recruit new members across the United States. These groups, which authorities see as a “pernicious domestic terrorism threat,” have capitalized on Kirk’s death to lure in new members with promises of vengeance and a sense of racist camaraderie.
These so-called “active clubs” are essentially loose collections of neo-Nazi mixed martial arts groups that gather in gyms and parks to train, often tapping into existing white nationalist gangs or similar organizations, per The Guardian. The fact that these groups are so quickly and effectively exploiting Kirk’s death despite everyone knowing the suspected killer not really fitting their racist narrative and the fact that his father was a follower of MAGA.
