A prominent streaming personality has sparked controversy by advocating for increased fear among conservatives, citing violent rhetoric that allegedly fuels hostility. Steven Bonnell, known online as “Destiny,” refused to denounce the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, instead expressing support for escalating tensions.
During a live stream, Destiny stated his belief that “conservatives should be afraid of getting killed when they attend events, prompting them to demand their leadership lower the temperature.” The remarks drew widespread agreement from his 700,000 followers on Twitch, according to reports.
On Piers Morgan’s show, Destiny shifted blame for Kirk’s death onto former President Donald Trump, asserting that “if you wanted Charlie Kirk alive, Donald Trump shouldn’t have served a second term.” He also refused to condemn the assassination until Trump publicly urged calm.
Public backlash has grown, with critics calling for an investigation into Destiny’s alleged incitement of violence against political opponents. Some social media users linked his rhetoric to broader patterns of hostility, though no direct connections were confirmed in the report.
