Ghoulish Democrats and liberal pundits blamed Charlie Kirk and the conservative movement he championed for his own death within hours of his life being taken by a shooter at a speaking event in Utah.
“Political violence unfortunately has been ratcheting up in this country,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker told reporters Wednesday, referencing the recent assassination of Minnesota’s Democratic House speaker.
“I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country — I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it,” he went on.
“We’ve seen the January 6th rioters who clearly have tripped a new era of political violence.”
MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd also placed responsibility on Kirk’s rhetoric for the shocking shooting at Utah Valley University.
“You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and then not expect awful actions to take place,” said Dowd, who most recently ran as a Democrat for Texas lieutenant governor.
“That’s the unfortunate environment we’re in,” added Dowd, author of the 2021 book “Revelations on the River: Healing a Nation, Healing Ourselves.”
