Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) said his office “has received an extraordinary number of violent and graphic threats” since he made comments urging President Donald Trump to condemn political violence.

Moulton appeared on CNN Thursday, before the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination had been captured or any details alluding to a motive in the killing had been released. He argued Republicans should follow the lead of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who had called for people to “settle disagreements and disputes in a civil manner,” rather than Trump, who quickly blamed “extremist left-wing groups.”

Moulton also called out Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who immediately pinned Kirk’s assassination on Democrats. “Democrats own this,” Mace said Wednesday shortly after Kirk was shot.

In a post on X Friday, Moulton said “right-wing individuals” had sent a number of threats “online and over the phone” since he made the comments. “The solution to political disagreement in America is never violence,” Moulton posted, along with screenshots of some messages he’d received on social media. “It should be easy for everybody to say that.”
