Trump blames harsh language for Kirk's death

Trump posted a video that appeared to be filmed in the Oval Office Wednesday evening on Truth Social, blaming Kirk's death on harsh political rhetoric.

He said "violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree."

He added: "For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now."

U.S. terror experts have warned of rising threats from so-called stochastic terrorism, in which sometimes unstable individuals are inspired to violence by hate speech and scenarios they see online and hear echoed by public figures.

Whaaaaattt??? I am so totally shocked to hear this accusation coming from Trump.

After the FBI has already apparently arrested and released 2 suspects... That's another great thing about firing every FBI agent that was qualified to do their job in retaliation for Jan 6th. You never quite know what's incompetence vs conspiracy these days.

Lolololololol because Trump is sooooo respectful in his language. He would never exaggerate or demonize people simply because they disagreed with him. Boo fucking hoo that there's people calling you a nazi, if it's such a problem then maybe he should stop doing things that are so easily a direct comparison to what hitler did. What an absolute joke of president.
