OBAMA OPENS UP ON KIRK ASSASSINATION, SCOLDS TRUMP FOR ‘EXTREME’ RHETORIC:
Former President Barack Obama addressed the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk on Tuesday, calling the killing a “tragedy” that poses a “threat to all of us” before scolding President Trump for contributing to a dangerous political climate.
Speaking with journalist Steve Scully at the Jefferson Educational Society in Pennsylvania, Obama cast Kirk’s assassination as part of an escalating trend of political violence.
“Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, what happened to Charlie Kirk was horrific and a tragedy,” Obama said. “And when it happens to some but even if you think they’re, quote, unquote, ‘on the other side of the argument,’ that’s a threat to all of us. And we have to be clear and forthright in condemning them.”
The former president also took it as an opportunity to criticize President Donald Trump and his administration’s handling of the aftermath of the assassination.
“When I hear not just our current president, but his aides, who have a history of calling political opponents ‘vermin’, enemies who need to be ‘targeted,’ that speaks to a broader problem that we have right now and something that we’re going to have to grapple with, all of us,” Obama said. “But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the United States government behind extremist views.”
