What did Donald Trump say in his Oval Office speech about Charlie Kirk’s assassination?
Donald Trump just gave an awful speech from the Oval Office about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rather than try to bring Americans together to talk about calmness and that an investigation is taking place and we're gonna get to the bottom of this, and that political violence is never acceptable as we continue to gather more facts, saying words to that effect. Donald Trump's statement is. To say this is the fault of the radical left and Democrats, and they did this and they're scum, and we should go after them. And then Donald Trump brings up the assassination attempt on him in Butler, Pennsylvania, where all the right-wing influencers and media blamed on Democrats and liberals, and then it turned out that the shooter was from a Trump-supporting family.
Family, the shooter was like a Trumper, a registered Republican, and then they tried to quickly uh change that talking point, or then, regardless of the facts, say they tried to go after Donald Trump, the liberals did, when that's not what happened. Remember when you had Melissa Hortman, the uh Speaker Emeritus of the Minnesota House of Representatives, where she was assassinated by a right-wing individual. And all of MAGA tried to say it was a liberal, and Governor Walls appointed the guy, and this was a radical lefty. It was like a Trump-supporting right-wing guy, but they spread all of these deranged conspiracies. Do you remember Donald Trump was asked, Well, are you going to call Governor Walls of Minnesota to discuss with him the we know it was a political assassination of uh the Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband?
And Donald Trump attacks Governor Walls. You remember this? And says, he's whacked out. He's a mess. Why would I call? That guy. Here, play this clip.
Have you called the governor yet or been able to speak to any of them? I don't
really call him. He's look he appointed this guy to a position. I think the governor of Minnesota's so whacked out. I'm not calling he's a he's a best. So, you know, I could be nice and call, but why waste time? Now, Donald Trump's speech from the Oval Office was uh indeed deeply divisive, but it was not divisive isn't the word, it was uh a lot of disinformation and and attacking liberals in a very dangerous, dangerous way. It's a more accurate way of describing what took place. But frankly, that language is mimicking and encouraging what we're seeing from right wing accounts right now. Whether it's libs of TikTok saying this is war, or saying the Democrat Party must be classified as a domestic terrorist organization and their members and leaders treated accordingly.
Enough is enough, says Joey Monarino. You had Laura Loomer's account saying that Democrats are terrorists, and a bunch of other accounts saying that, oh, we should send the Air Force.
How did Trump shift blame onto the radical left and Democrats after the killing?
force to eradicate Democrats or round the effers up. You don't even have the facts, by the way, of who was involved in in the shooting. So Cash Patel, who runs the FBI, got it wrong twice, where they brought in a suspect. First, not the right suspect. They let him out. Another person, Cash Patel, posted on social media, we got the guy. Was not the guy. I think the guy had a pellet gun, not a gun that was capable of doing the assassination. You don't know the facts. And so the right-away though, the way the right wing uses this, weaponizes it, says the Dems did this, the liberals did this, get rid of them, eradicate, exterminate. They use that language, I mean, is is horrific. Uh, you know where I stood on the Midas term.
Network and where I stand right now. We condemn the in the fullest terms possible, in the strongest terms possible, political violence, regardless of my views of Charlie Kirk, and how I think Charlie Kirk has some of the most hurtful and hateful ideology. And the things that he said were horrific, and my disagreements with him were very, very strong. Strong. The way you handle your disagreements is not through political violence. Like Adam Mockler from our network was preparing to debate Charlie Kirk next week. They had an event that they were going to be doing together where there was going to be a debate because that's how it should still work in the United States of America, regardless of my views, that the stuff that Charlie Kirk would say are heinous.
