"It's long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today and it must stop right now."
"It's so challenging for a million reasons right now, and I would just want to say first, we don't know who the shooter is. We don't know what their motivation is because they're still at large. It's a very scary time for the people in that community right now. And President Trump, this was somebody he knew personally, I will acknowledge, and obviously is impacted by,"
Jen Psaki criticized President Donald Trump's video response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, arguing the shooter and motive remain unknown and that immediate blame is premature. Trump asserted that comparisons by the radical left between conservatives and Nazis fuel violence and terrorism, calling for such rhetoric to stop. Psaki acknowledged Trump's personal connection to Kirk and the emotional impact. Psaki refused to play the full video on air but read and raised concern about Trump's claim that left-wing rhetoric is directly responsible for domestic terrorism. Psaki warned that rhetoric escalation poses risks for communities already fearful and vulnerable.
