It was expected. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has barely taken a few hours to point to the culprit of his friend in addition: it is the rhetoric of the “radical left.” He affirms it despite the fact that two people related to the case have been stopped this morning, but who have had to be free of course for their null guilt. No one knows who shot, but for the Republican, the key is in what .
“In the most hateful and despicable way possible, for years, the radical left has compared with Nazis and the worst mass murderers and criminals of the world,” said the tenant of the White House in a video published by his spokesman, Karoline Leavitt, in which he has asserted that “this type of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we witness today in our country, and must cease immediately.”
Trump also stated that “it is time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those who disagree day after day”, as in the event lived yesterday afternoon when Kirk was shot in the neck while participating in an event that was taking place in a university in the city of OREM (Utah).
Kirk was attacked in front of hundreds of people and transferred him critically to the Typanogos hospital, in the city of OREM, where he died.
The American president has promised that his government “will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and others, including organizations that finance and support it, as well as those who persecute our judges, agents of the order and all those who maintain order in our country.”
“The political violence of the radical left has hurt too many innocent people and too many lives have been charged,” he said, citing “the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year, who claimed the life of a husband and father, to attacks on ICE agents (acronym in English of immigration and customs service), the brutal murder of a health executive of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson) in the streets of New York and the shooting against the leader of the majority in the House of Representatives, Steve Scalise, and three other people “, in 2017.
Trump has registered Kirk’s murder, which he has described as “a martyr of truth and freedom” and “a patriot who dedicated his life to the cause of the open debate and the country he loved so much.”
To the conviction of the crime, the governor of the state of Utah, Spencer Cox, who has defined it as a “political murder” has also been added and has promised that his government will find the culprit and require responsibility “with all the weight of the law”, which, he recalled, includes “the death penalty.”
Ultra outrage
The murder of Kirk has reached within the framework of a streak of political violence that has also included, in addition to the instances cited by the American president, the murders in June of the most responsible Democrat in the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota,, along with her husband, Mark Hortman, or the attack in April to the residence of the governor of Pennsylvania, also a democrat.
However, the popular impact of Kirk and its proximity to the current president has made this case even a greater impact, especially among his co -religionists. The USA’s ultra -right directly says that his country “is at war.” “The movement that Charlie initiated will never stop (…) died fighting not only for him, but also for you, for Jesus Christ and for this nation,” said Jack Posbic, a political commentator close to Kirk and collaborator in his Turning Point US The Charlie Kirk’s Show.
Posbic, who frequently participated in Kirk’s show and referred to him as a “close friend”, threatened the “US radicals” in the transmission. “Did you think things were wrong before? What were we doing too much? They just removed some of our friends. This is what you have done to our country. What is coming now will be your fault,” he said.

In the same program, Trump and strategist ex -analysis during his first term, it was a step further and pointed out that Kirk “is a victim of the political war that is getting rid” in the US. “We are at war (…) there will be prayers, duel and flags at half -mast, but we must maintain a iron determination,” he added.
A similar message was replicated in the Fox chain, a traditional medium, from Jesse Watters’ mouth, a political commentator and television presenter. “They are at war with us,” said Watters, after making a list of the several instances of political violence in the US, including the attacks against Trump and against two officials of the Israel Embassy in Washington.
“This is unacceptable and has to stop. We are listening to everything they are saying, politicians, the media and all rats outside (…) is a turning point and we already know in what direction we are going,” he added.
The FBI and the UTAH Public Security Department have reported through a joint statement that the investigation into the facts remains active, after two individuals have been arrested and, subsequently, released after considering that they do not keep “current links with the shooting.” Consequently, they have indicated that “the University Campus will remain closed for the rest of the week.”
“It is believed that the shooting has been a selective attack. It is believed that the shooter has shot from the roof of a building to the place where the public event was held in the Student Patio,” says the text, which does not provide more details “by the integrity of the investigation.”
Both organisms have described the situation as “a tragic moment for Utah and for the country.” “While we all recover, we encourage those who need help to call 988, the line of care for mental health crises of our state,” they recalled.
