Only a week after 6 people were murdered in a mass shooting at the Christian Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, Charlie Kirk insisted “I think it’s worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every year”
He claimed it was a “prudent deal” to protect 2nd Amendment
Nancy Mace's very first words to reporters on Charlie Kirk was "democrats own what happened today"
When @ryanobles followed up about if that means Republicans "own" the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers she says "are you kidding me?"
From moments ago on the House steps
This is what they do. Just moments after Charlie Kirk got shot, with absolutely no idea who the shooter was, they claim it’s a radical leftist.
Then tell you to take to the streets with your weapons.
These people are deranged. He then made a reference to an innocent woman that got randomly murdered on a subway by a lunatic and claimed it was similar.
It was nothing like it. Charlie Kirk was killed by either those that opposed his views or those that aligned who knew that if they killed him he would become a martyr and feed the cause with hatred and more action. I believe the latter.
They will use this to further their agenda. That’s what this is. But of course they will claim they have caught the shooter eventually, and when they catch him he will be wearing a Joe Biden t-shirt waving a Kamala Harris Flag.
America is a cartoon. A literal cartoon.
Nancy Mace just blamed Democrats for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but when asked if Republicans “own” the mass shooting of Black lawmakers in Minnesota?
She laughed and said, “Are you kidding me?”
So it only counts when the victim fits your agenda?
.@NancyMace you're a POS!
THIS. The violent rhetoric is NOT coming from “both sides”. Charlie Kirk’s killer has not even been identified, but Trump immediately blamed, accused and targeted the so-called “radical left.”
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
In light of today’s shooting death of Charlie Kirk, it’s worth remembering that while Paul Pelosi was lying in the ICU with a fractured skull, vile ghouls like Don Jr. thought it was comedy content. These people don’t just enable violence - they celebrate it.
Everyone saying ‘Political violence is not who we are as Americans’ after Charlie Kirk was shot…
Maybe clarify which political violence you mean, because this is coming from the sitting president of the United States.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was horrific & tragic. It’s been bizarre to hear earnest commentators urging “both sides” to “tone down” violent rhetoric, while Trump and right-wing extremists immediately blame & target the “radical left.” The violent rhetoric is NOT from both-sides.
Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that this is the worst, most unhelpful and divisive post-shooting speech ever given by a President, now targeting Democrats for retribution.
Republicans, denounce this or own the fallout.
@KatyTurNBC Where’s the pushback? @JohnKasich and @ninaturner act as if Trump is actually focused on “crime” in LA, DC, Chicago?If that were true, why isn’t he sending Fed troops into GOP-run cities and states with much higher crime rates? It’s NOT about crime, it’s about control
@ProjectLincoln THIS is what we need to see & hear from Democratic leaders. And @JohnKasich is delusional if he seriously believes that Trump is focused on “crime”! What a sucker. Trump is sending military into BLUE states and cities. Which have lower crime rates than many RED states and cities.
How stupid are you?? Don’t you know that even LEGAL immigrants have been rounded up by ICE and thrown in jail for days-weeks-months? Try watching actual news instead of FOX
@BrendaBanahan My entire Japanese side of my family were interred. That was dead wrong.
I will beg no such forgiveness. Come to the US LEGALLY, assimilate and contribute. Legal immigrants WELCOME.
Shameful. ICE now just a bunch of posturing thugs, kidnapping flower vendors and landscapers and restaurant workers, beating them up, throwing them into detention, based only on race. Masked bullies dressed up in military gear, pretending they’re “protecting” America. Gross
@DeadlineWH@AriMelber@allinwithchris Why don’t Dem reps get warrants to inspect ICE “detention” sites? And show up with cops? Also, why don’t abducted, beaten, detained immigrants sue ICE for damages? Seriously.
@mmckinnon You said Kamala Harris shouldn’t say “I told you so” (even tho she &many of us, did) but instead “We’ve learned our lesson“ — what lesson, exactly? What *I* learned in Nov was that too many Americans prefer an ignorant corrupt bigot to a smart, talented woman.
WTF is it with former gov @JohnKasich? Blaming LA Mayor for ‘not moving fast enough” to quell a (relatively small) protest, and thus “giving an opening” to Trump….? Tsk-taking over violent rhetoric but too weak to come right out and just SAY Trump admin is inflaming violence?
Yesterday, a Trump supporter went on an assassination spree targeting Democrats.
Today, a GOP Senator mocks their murder.
This isn’t politics — it’s depraved moral rot.
Sickening. We're no longer "on the brink" "sliding" into autocracy. We are THERE. Trump admin, top to bottom, is corrupt, racist, & thuggish. But there has to be a stronger response from Dem leaders than hoping that the GOP will "take a stand." That's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
Republicans will claim Padilla — one of the kindest people I know — is a menacing man who stormed the briefing with smoke coming out of his ears.
But the video doesn't lie.
He didn’t lunge. He announced himself. He just wanted answers.
