The Vice -President of the United States, JD Vance, launched a harsh attack on what called the extreme left and increasing tolerance in this area, saying that the administration will act to abolish those who enjoy Kirk's death and political violence against their opponents.
Vance said that after leaving Arizona, where he had been with Kirk's family, he read an article in the left publication The Nation, in which the author presented Kirk's opinions and, according to Vance, made a statement about a judge of the Supreme Court to suggest that he would apply to all women.
“The magazine is not a marginal blog, but a well -financed and respected publication, with an editorial history that starts from the time of the American civil war. It is funded by the Foundation for an open society of George Soros, by the Ford Foundation and many other magnations of the American progressive movement,” Vance said, suggesting that such organizations could become such an organization.
He later added that the foundations that contribute to the financing of the magazine benefit from tax exemptions, a signal that the Government could try to withdraw this status.
“Charlie was shot in full day, and well -financed institutions of the left lied about what he said, to justify his killing,” Vance said. “He is devoid of soul and evil, but what hit me was not only the slanderous lie, but also the joy in the face of a young husband and father.”
“The left -handed people have much more likely to defend and celebrate political violence”
Vance said Erica Kirk asked her wife, Usha, the advice about how to tell the children that their father was killed during the Vice -President's visit to accompany Kirk's body back to Arizona. While asking for that advice, added Vance, “there were people who danced on that father's grave.”
He stated that he wants “desperate” national unity and appreciated the numerous condolences received from friends and colleagues, but stressed that there can be no unity without confronting the truth. “The data is clear, the left people have much more likely to defend and celebrate political violence,” he said. “It is not a problem like” both camps “. If both camps have a problem, one of them has a much bigger and more malignant one, and this is the truth.”
He acknowledged that political movements resemble pyramids, made up of activists, influencers, politicians and organizations, and most of the members of these groups would not commit a crime. But he said, many create a climate in which such acts of violence become more likely. Vance said that during a Disneyland visit, earlier this year, people cried out to his children and told them to renounce their father.
“Are these violent women? Probably not. Are they unbalanced? Certainly,” said Vance. “And, although there are crazy people in our camp, it is a statistical fact that most of today's American fanatics are proud members of the extreme left.”
He said that the nation can reach a point of unity only “along with people who recognize that political violence is unacceptable and when we work to abolish institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.” Vance added that the Trump administration will work in this goal in the coming months and will “explore all options to bring a real unit to the country and to stop those who would kill other Americans just because they don't like their opinions.”
“When you see someone enjoying Charlie's killing, confronting him. He even calls his boss. We do not believe in political violence, but we believe in civility, and in celebrating a political assassination there is no trace of civility,” said Vance.
