Core Conversations: The real source of hate in America

The Left has become a master of projection – accusing others of the very hate they practice themselves.

In light of recent events and the tragic and evil assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, I spent an episode of At the Core breaking down story after story showing  how aggressively the Left is weaponizing the word “hate.” But let me be clear: they are not  targeting violence or extremism. They are attacking truth – and anyone who dares to speak it out loud.

This isn’t just about shouting down Christians at school board meetings or dragging conservative elected officials through the mud. It’s about redefining morality and placing anyone who holds biblical convictions into a manmade category of “hateful.” Their strategy is to demonize and isolate their opponents.

Here is the truth: disagreeing with someone’s worldview isn’t hate. Believing in biology isn’t hate. Defending children from sexually explicit content isn’t hate.

But the Left will call it that – because if they can make truth feel dangerous, they can control the conversation and isolate the truth tellers.

This episode is a wake-up call. Not just for conservatives, but for anyone who values the ability to think for yourself.

Listen to the full episode here.

Sincerely,

Walker Wildmon, CEO
