"The Charlie Kirk assassination needs to be reframed as an issue of how our democracy actually functions and survives. We cannot be assassinating people who are different from us, who believe different things. Full stop, Wagner said. Charlie Kirk's assassination is as bad for Democrats as it should be for, as it is for Republicans. It is not okay. And everybody needs to get on that same page."
Bill Maher criticized celebrities who attended the 77th Emmy Awards for not publicly condemning the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Maher argued that Emmy attendees could have expressed that a political assassination is wrong without endorsing Kirk's views, and suggested they would have been booed for doing so. Alex Wagner and Joe Manchin joined the panel; Wagner said the assassination should be framed as a threat to democracy, condemned the killing as equally harmful to both parties, and accused the administration of injecting hate into political discourse. Participants debated partisan reluctance to acknowledge violence against opposing figures.
