"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. My administration will find each and every one of those who"
"contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law-enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country. From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a health-care executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others, radical-left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives."
On September 10, 2025, President Donald Trump delivered remarks after the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. The remarks began and ended with praise for Kirk and his family but included a central sequence that blamed the radical left for political violence, called such rhetoric directly responsible for terrorism, and demanded it stop immediately. The remarks pledged that the administration would find everyone who contributed to the atrocity, including funders and those who target judges and law enforcement, and listed prior violent incidents attributed to the radical left. The speech was delivered from a script, suggesting deliberation.
