President Trump Rejects Unity Call After Charlie Kirk Assassination, Blames ‘Radical Left’

Following the assassination of close associate and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by declining to call for national unity, instead casting blame solely on what he termed “vicious and horrible” radicals on the left of US politics.

In a Friday morning interview on Fox & Friends, just hours after Kirk was shot in broad daylight on the Utah Valley University campus, Trump was pressed on how he intended to heal the nation’s divisions. Defying traditional calls for bipartisan cohesion, the President stated, “The radicals on the left are the problem – and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders. The worst thing that happened to this country.”

This refusal to seek common ground at a time of national mourning marks a significant departure from historical presidential responses to such crises. Trump’s remarks, delivered in his second term, signal a continued hyper-partisan approach, including threats of RICO investigations against figures like George Soros and accusations of funding “professional agitators.” He also reiterated intentions to target organizations supporting what he deems political violence, following earlier moves to investigate Democratic fundraising and threaten the tax-exempt status of progressive groups.
