"Moulton pointed to statistics that, while four percent of extremists killings are perpetrated by left-wing extremists, right-wing extremists are responsible for 76 percent of killings. "There are people who are trying to polarize us further, divide our nation further and just blame the left, even while those of us on the Democratic side, by and large saying we all need to turn down the rhetoric, so let's be serious about where this violence is coming from," Moulton said."
"After conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed last week, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton condemned the political violence and took to CNN to call on President Donald Trump to do the same. Then came the "violent and graphic" threats, according to his office, with threats made to his life and his two young daughters. In a clip of an appearance on CNN, which garnered a million views on X, Moulton asked Trump and Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson to "be serious about where this violence is coming from.""
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, prompting Massachusetts Representative Seth Moulton to condemn political violence and call on President Donald Trump to denounce it. Moulton received violent and graphic threats to his life and to his two young daughters after the public call. He cited statistics showing left-wing extremists account for four percent of extremist killings while right-wing extremists account for 76 percent. The Anti-Defamation League reports similar figures, noting the majority of extremist-related murders over the last decade were committed by right-wing extremists. Moulton urged national honesty about the sources of political violence and called for de-escalation of divisive rhetoric.
