Well, Axios thinks MAGA is overreacting to the constant stream of threats and political attacks we have been subjected to.
Because, of course, they do. That is the conventional wisdom in the legacy media and among All the Right People™. Everybody knows that Republicans commit all the political violence in this country. Siege mentality. I wonder why. Perhaps I can suggest a few reasons. Really, if you think about it, Republicans deserve to be the target of so much hate. If only we would agree with the left everything would be fine. Charlie Kirk's assassination has unleashed an outpouring of rage across the MAGA universe, with many leaders framing

FTA: How many lectures have we been subjected to since Charlie's death about how we have to tone down the rhetoric? As if it is Trump who is calling for violence and not the left wing, including Democratic Party leaders.
It’s apparently the new mantra. I just read that GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) has joined the list of people saying President Trump needs to tone down his rhetoric about Charlie’s assassination, and bringing the President’s “ridiculous rhetoric” about the Epstein resolution into his remarks.

Leftists are the violent ones, and when the kill us, we are scolded for being upset, or for reacting strongly to being assassinated.
They endlessly call out "right wing violence" when there is NONE, and publicly applaud their assassins.

While it might not be all they do, DemoRoids are masters of projection, and they can't help themselves. Every time they call out the Right for dangerous rhetoric, it's their rhetoric they should be calling out.
Whenever they call out right wing violence, it's their violence they should be calling out.
Etc., etc., etc.!

Siege mentality means building up your supplies of weapons, ammunition and food and water. It means constructing the short arrows of war instead of the longer hunting arrows. It means watching your back and not trusting anyone not like you. Yes, I think we are ready for anything now. The Left thinks that they can win this one. They are wrong.

It's one thing to be insane: you might think you're Napoleon, or can fly, or Martians are poisoning your well. But these people are dangerous, violent psychos. If say, 12th Imamdani was capped at a campaign event, would Republicans say: Oh, don't over-react! He probably had it coming. The answer is obvious.

From Axios.com, "Axios is an American news website based in Arlington, Virginia. It was founded in 2016 and launched the following year by former Politico journalists Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz." That's about all you need to know about Axios.

The media is not doing well with their response to this assassination.
If the democrat party chooses as poorly, it could be their turning point!

In case you haven't noticed, in Germany the left has been assassinating their conservative opponents one by one. I believe it's been reported that about 6 have been eliminated already. How many are we supposed to accept killed here before we do something here to make them fully understand that's not a good idea?

President Trump really needs to revoke some licenses from these liars. Prove it to the masses by exposing their perfidy in reporting the news as unbiased or factual. Revoking their licenses may just crumble the wall of lies the Enemedia espouses every minute of every day. It's time for the "other half" of the country to awaken.

Axios claiming this nonsense is a type of bullying strategy wherein the bully attacks constantly and when the target of the attacks states what is happening and they are not amused the bully attempts to shame the person by claiming he is whining about nothing.

When Republicans screw up that's the story.
When Democrats screw up, the Republicans' reaction is the story.

Axios has always been leftist garbage. Obviously, it still is.
