Elizabeth Warren Slams Anti-Democrat Rhetoric In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death
HuffPost
Numerous conservative voices have blamed Democrats and the media for Wednesday's fatal shooting.
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.”
