– It is a long time ago that all Americans and the media will face the fact that violence and murders are the tragic consequences of demonizing those with whom they do not agree, day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and wicked way that is possible – said Trump in a message recorded in the oval office and published on his portal Truth Social.
– Over the years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans, such as Charlie, to the Nazis and the worst mass murderers and criminals in the world. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for terrorism, which we witness in our country and it must end immediately – he added.
The US president promised that his administration would find anyone who contributed to the murder of Kirk and other acts of political violence, including “organizations that finance and support them, just like those who attack our judges, services officers and all others who bring order in the country.”
As examples of political violence, he mentioned the attacks against himself and the leader of the majority in the House of Representatives Steve Scalise and attacks on ICE immigration services. However, he did not mention the victims of right -wing terrorism, including an assassination at the leading Democrats politicians in Minnesota in June this year.
Charlie Kirk is dead. Donald Trump paid tribute to actinist
Trump once again paid tribute to 31-year-old Kirk, the founder of the youth right-wing Turning Point USA, describing him as “a martyr for truth and freedom” and as someone who, like no one else, had respect among young people.
– Today, because of this shameful act, Charlie's voice has become louder and great than ever before and there is not even a comparison here He finished.
On Wednesday, politicians on both sides of the political dispute condemned the crime. The leader of the Democrats in the Senate Chuck Schumer said that “there is no place for political violence in America”, just like Trump's rival in last year's Kamala Harris.
“I condemn this act, we all have to cooperate together, so that it does not lead to further violence” She said in a statement.
Spencer Cox, a Republican Governor of the Utah state, where there was a crime, but stated that America is a “broken nation” And he also mentioned the attacks and attempts to attack leftist politicians, including Governor of Pennsylvania.
“Nothing I say will unite us as a country, nothing I say now will not fix what is broken,” Cox said.
