Elizabeth Warren Slams Anti-Democrat Rhetoric In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Source: Huff Post

Sep 11, 2025, 10:48 AM EDT

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday rebuked the notion that Democrats are to blame for the death of Charlie Kirk, which numerous conservatives have suggested, and argued that one powerful figure has caused more volatile divisiveness than anyone else.

Kirk was killed by a suspected sniper Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University, prompting Republicans, such as Fox News host Jesse Watters and President Donald Trump, to respectively blame “the media” and supposedly culpable “radical left.”

Warren was asked hours after the shooting about this rhetoric. The Massachusetts Democrat, who has spent much of her time in Congress fighting for sensible gun reform, responded bluntly.

“Oh, please,” Warren told a CNN reporter outside Capitol Hill. “Right, why don’t you start with the president of the United States? Right? And every ugly meme he has posted and every ugly word.”

Huffpo has the Xitter link, eew. This one works for everyone.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

He's been actively this behavior and rhetoric for years, in office and out. Anyone who Trieste point fingers at Democrats regarding this sort of thing is either colossally stupid or has a hell of a lot of nerve!

Sure, he had help in that and not just the guy on the roof, but he also killed himself. You know, that Bible passage about living by the sword and the karma that follows. Matthew 26:52

Not one in the media, not one in Congress.

FAFO. These people preach hate, viciousness, and destruction at every turn. When one of their own is shot, they immediately assume it was a Dem sniper, because that's what a rethug sniper would do. What are they going to do when they find out the sniper was hired by this admin to enrage them, and get the news off of Epstein?

Ever seen the movie, "Shooter?"
