"No. Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by 'them.' 'They' didn't pull the trigger. One person did, apparently a young man driven by impulse and a terrible hate. Rove, the former deputy chief of staff to former President George W. Bush, lamented the "sad, sickening week" following Kirk's death and lauded "his extraordinary life." But he emphasized that "using Charlie's murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous" and will "further divide and embitter our country.""
"What we're watching: Rove framed Kirk's memorial service this Sunday, which Trump and other top Republicans will attend, as a chance to pivot. It "could be a moment when Americans see people of prominence remind us that our republic's continuance depends on debating important ideas with both passion and mutual respect." Zoom out: Saying he was "heartsick" over Kirk's death, former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday similarly called for individual accountability, saying on CNBC there was only "one person responsible for Charlie Kirk's assassination.""
Karl Rove said Charlie Kirk was killed by one person, not 'them,' and that the killer was a young man driven by impulse and hate. He warned that using Kirk's murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong, dangerous, and will further divide the country. He framed Kirk's memorial service, which top Republicans will attend, as a chance to pivot toward passionate but mutually respectful debate. Mike Pence said only one person was responsible, urged individual accountability, and called for greater civility. Tyler Robinson, 22, was charged with murder; prosecutors will seek the death penalty, and investigators believe he acted alone while probing possible accomplices. Stephen Miller blamed "terrorist networks" and invoked DOJ and Homeland Security.
