Senator Fetterman Calls for De-escalation After Charlie Kirk Assassination

In the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Sunday, Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has publicly criticized fellow Democrats for their use of inflammatory language against former President Donald Trump. Speaking with CNN’s Manu Raju on Wednesday, Fetterman specifically condemned comparisons of Trump to figures like Adolf Hitler or labeling him an ‘autocrat’.

Kirk was shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University, a tragic event that Fetterman highlighted as a reason to ‘turn the temperature down’ in political discourse. The Democratic senator emphasized that such extreme comparisons are inappropriate for anyone, including President Trump, and insisted that the former president is ‘a product of a democratic election,’ not an autocrat.

Fetterman, known for his willingness to challenge his own party, also reflected on the Democratic Party’s struggles, suggesting they have ‘lost the argument’ and their connection with American voters. He argued that simply opposing Trump or predicting societal collapse is an ineffective strategy, urging Democrats to acknowledge differing viewpoints without demonizing those who disagree.
