And I just, because facts are important here. He is not wrong that there has been radicalization on the left. And anybody you talk to who is on the right, either an elected office or somebody like Charlie Kirk, they see it on their social media feeds, they hear it."
"But it is also true for people on the left. They're getting it from those on the right. And it has resulted in some pretty unfortunate violence. Just one example, Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, when a person went into their house, hit him on the head with a hammer after being there for a long time, he was later convicted. He told the jury he believed the media was lying about former President Trump."
President Donald Trump defended the radical right and attacked the left when asked about unity after Charlie Kirk's killing on Fox & Friends. Dana Bash played the exchange on CNN and rebutted by citing examples of violence linked to partisan radicalization. Bash noted radicalization exists on both left and right and detailed the Paul Pelosi hammer attack, the assailant's belief in election falsehoods, and links to MyPillow CEO videos. CNN panelists discussed the need to tone down rhetoric and cited leaders urging de-escalation across the political spectrum.
