Former President Barack Obama has come under fire for his response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. While he condemned the violence and offered prayers for Kirk’s family, critics called his statement “tone-deaf” and lacking accountability. Fox News host Clay Travis accused Obama and other Democrats of “years of demonizing Trump supporters,” saying their comparisons to Nazis and “domestic terrorists” have fueled a dangerous environment.
Senator Elizabeth Warren pushed back against those accusations, stating, “Why don’t you start with the President?” when asked whether Democratic rhetoric had contributed to the atmosphere that led to the attack. Warren’s comments have only added fuel to an already heated debate over responsibility and political discourse in the aftermath of Kirk’s death.
Meanwhile, the FBI has confirmed that the Utah Valley University shooting was a targeted act. The suspect—believed to have fired from a rooftop while dressed in dark clothing—remains unidentified. Authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information as the investigation intensifies.
Former President Donald Trump has directly blamed the “radical Left” for fostering the climate that led to the shooting, calling it “a tragic consequence of violent, hateful rhetoric.” Trump’s remarks echo growing concerns that America’s political divide is not only deepening—but becoming deadly.
