We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

If you want to have an intelligent conversation about violent rhetoric and political extremes in this country, then you need to understand the fracturing on the alt-right these days.
Between MAGA and groups like Groypers or the “Groyper Army”
BREAKING: Instead of bringing Americans together, Trump just delivered one of the most divisive and disgraceful speeches by any president in the aftermath of someone’s death.
He dishonors Charlie Kirk’s name by turning his passing into a rallying cry to smear Democrats. Notice how he had no such outrage when far-right extremists assassinated Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
@TheMikeSalk you are really making a lot of Chicago people sad, mad at you!!! Have you ever been to Chicago and known that deep divide between those two team?!?? I grew up with that divide. You're funny!!! 😆
@gasman206@seattletimes Thank you so much for writing this. It broke my heart to read the roller coaster of emotions of loving an addict. His unconditional love & faith gave Rizzs a beautiful 9 years w/Nick. As a healthcare worker I've seen too many times where one relapse then takes loved ones away.
To my hospital working colleagues across this country, please read this text and keep your eyes peeled. You may be able to prevent a terrorist attack.
This is real.
