The assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk has turbocharged the conversation — and fears — around political violence in the U.S. And, more than perhaps any other recent high-profile incident, it has fed claims that far-left extremists are primarily responsible for the worsening environment.
“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,” President Trump said, just hours after Kirk was killed.
Americans romanticize the violence of the past. But they refuse to allow talk of violence as a path forward. Destruction of property was righteous when they threw tea in the harbor but it’s wrong to talk about it now.
