The president made several statements about the conservative political influencer\u2019s death, including announcing, before even the authorities had, that they had the suspected shooter in custody.<\/p>\n<p>When Charlie Kirk was pronounced dead, Trump released a statement from the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror,\u201d Trump said in a video published on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He\u2019s a martyr for truth and freedom, and there\u2019s never been anyone who was so respected by youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump blamed \u201cradical left\u201d after Charlie Kirk killing<br \/>\nWhile both Democratic and Republican leaders have condemned the murder of Kirk, the killing has led to political polarization on social media. Exactly why suspected shooter Tyler Robinson, said to have turned himself in on Friday, killed Kirk is not known, but even before his arrest was made, Trump blamed the \u201cradical left\u201d for obstructing the healing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to see it [the nation] heal,\u201d the president told NBC News. \u201cBut we\u2019re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don\u2019t play fair and they never did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Trump announced that he would be attending the funeral of Charlie Kirk. Hhe also warned that left-leaning groups could be investigated after the killing, but didn\u2019t specify which or how.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at the problem, the problem is on the left. It\u2019s not on the right, like some people like to share the right, the problem we have is on the left,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAnd when you look at the agitator, you look at the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place, that\u2019s the left. That\u2019s not the right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Trump has been very open with his views after the killing of Charlie Kirk, his statements haven\u2019t solely been met with appreciation.<\/p>\n<p>Trump accused of using Charlie Kirk\u2019s death to \u201cdangerous political use\u201d<br \/>\nAppearing on the Daily Beast Podcast, author Michael Wolff, who\u2019s written several books on the president, said that Trump has put Kirk\u2019s death to \u201cdangerous political use without knowing the facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dBefore we had a suspect, Donald Trump was out essentially saying that the left, the liberals, the Democrats, and anyone who might oppose him was complicit in the killing of Charlie Kirk. This is not only just specious [and] wrong, but it\u2019s obviously irresponsible,\u201d Wolff said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t help feeling that perhaps part of the issue is that he can\u2019t talk about it. He can\u2019t come to grips with this. Maybe in his mind, inside Trump\u2019s head, it\u2019s too associated\u2014and how could it not be\u2014with his own assassination attempt,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think in some way he is running from this death instead of trying to do what a leader ought to be doing at this point and\u2026 expressing grief and empathy here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also announced that Kirk will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The president said the political influencer was a \u201cgiant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur prayers are with his wonderful wife, Erika and his beautiful children, fantastic people they are. We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie\u2019s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this?
