‘YOU Caused This’: Obama Slammed For
Fatal Shooting at Utah Valley University
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot during a speech at Utah Valley University.
Authorities called it a “targeted attack,” with the shooter believed to have fired from a rooftop.
The FBI is investigating and seeking public assistance.
Obama Responds
Former President Barack Obama commented,
“We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk,
but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.”
Backlash Over Rhetoric
Critics like Clay Travis accused Obama and the Left of encouraging violence through extreme rhetoric: “You caused this!…
When you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people: Go kill them.”
Trump Condemns Political Demonization
Donald Trump responded, saying, “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.”
